So my PBDummy friends...how many of you will be completing step 5 on time? I hate to admit it, having been so adamant that I would complete this challenge on time, but I am not going to have all my full sketches complete. When I look back and think about the last six weeks I can't think of anything specifically that's kept me from completing this step, just the business of life I suppose. So it's a good lesson learned. Our art has to be made a priority and not left to 'when we have time' to get to it. And admittedly, the last few weeks that's what has happened to me. I have come to the conclusion that for me, right now with three young boys, I am going to have to get up early in the morning and start my day working on my illustrations to ensure that time is made everyday to fulfill this dream of becoming an illustrator.
On a positive note, I did get some great feedback from Matt at
DTO who holds crits for his students each Monday. He reviewed one of my full-spread compositions and gave me lots of great suggestions for improvements. Below are the two ideas I submitted, starting with working through the compositional shapes to a rough tonal sketch.
Best of luck to all my PBDummy buddies who are working their hearts out to get there sketches finished!!
