Summer Project 2015: Thumbnails #1-35

So far the summer project has been a challenge but I'm enjoying trying to imagine structures, machines and life forms from such a small selection of objects. I like drawing life forms the most, but that doesn't really surprise me. There are definitely objects that I prefer using, but I keep forcing myself to try new things. It's been fun so far, I'm used to drawing with a photo reference so it's nice to just do it from my imagination. I've also practiced a few silhouettes and found it more helpful than I thought.




I'd mention a few that I prefer most so far, but I actually like quite a few of them to be honest which is a good sign I suppose. I'll probably make more silhouettes then make some drawings based off of those. I've done all of mine on a graphics tablet so far so I might also do some traditional ones soon to mix it up. Maybe I'll try adding some colour or using colour instead of black and grey just to add some more variety too.

    1. I seem to go in phases, I'll do loads of life forms then realize I have to do the other categories then I'll just do machines -_- hoping it evens out in the end!
