Comic Book Study
Posted by Otto Robba in Concept Art on 09. Mar, 2010 | 1 Comment
I will be straightforward: I love comic books. That said, I have had this story laying around for a while and it is bugging me to get out. In order to practice and see what style would work for it, I started trying. This is one of the results.

I have no idea yet if this is the style I’m gonna go with for the comic book I intend to write but nevertheless, sketching, thinking, researching are all important parts in the process of creating.
Hand-Down

A group of sketches and studies I did on the subject of, well, hands 
. Used mostly mine for the poses, although some I drew from photographs that were provided in art classes last year. Yes, the title is a silly pun – forgive me!

A Sketchy Subject

A small group of sketches and studies I did based on reference found on magazines and the internet and the Drawing School book.

Character Study
Posted by Otto Robba in Concept Art, Sketches & Studies on 08. Mar, 2010 | No Comments
Creating a character involves a series of steps. You need to research and sketch a lot, from poses to small details. It is just as important to have the character appearing in a pose that tells the public about her as it is important to have her wearing/using gear and apparel that makes sense. I included two pictures which take a look into a tiny part of the process I went through.

This one, the gorgon, was a simply sketch for an idea I had at the time, never went ahead of it and so it stayed like a mere sketch. I went through a lot of snake photographs and ‘deviant’ women before I sketched anything.

The savage is a piece I had actually put up in the site a while ago, as you can see. I went through the Tarzan movies, through photographs of extreme sports, checked Assassin’s Creed and went ahead to do the poses myself, taking photographs to use as a basis. Honestly, quite a bit of research before the final piece was actually done.

A design I made for a t-shirt contest at shirt.woot. Theme: ‘Birds’. Gotta love Snoopy and Dodos.
