As part of my constant drive to develop my personal skills, I’ve been exploring forms of artistic expression other than comics illustration and writing!
Over the last few years, I’ve focused mostly on my lineart. Obviously this is mainly due to the requirements of the comic artform, but it has rather had a knock-on effect on the rest of my art. I tend to think of scenes as collections of outlines first, and fill in the colors later on. While this is fine for pencil or ink work, it has its limitations when dealing with painted media. My first forays into acrylic (which I chose for its ability to convey highly saturated colors) were absolute messes, adhering rather slavishly to depicting the edges and outlines of the scenes.
