art spam: sketchbook #4 (2019)

I started this sketchbook meticulously recording which art supplies were used on each piece and I seem to have ended it not paying attention to anything. The blue plant people were clearly done in a variety of media because only the blue and black bled through to the other side (so alcohol or oil-based markers).


I always misremember this one being in a larger sketchbook because I tend to have it in my head that I need a larger page for realistic drawings, but this size sketchbook actually seems to work pretty well for this.



And just to prove that I'm not just using this cataloging-old-sketchbooks project as an excuse to avoid new artwork. Here's a drawing I did yesterday and then digitally colored. (I'll admit that I haven't done much new art lately, but I'm slowly adding pages to sketchbook 15 and sometimes even working on sketchbook 14.)

I also combined all the thumbnails into one post for better organization: Sketchbook 4

I'm still a bit conflicted on how best to handle these old sketchbook posts. A thumbnail-only post feels more efficient, but sometimes I just want to babble about things and I like the way the larger sizes look. So ... expect more inconsistent formatting.

The master list of all of my sketchbooks post shows you how far we have yet to go.

Do not watch if you are prone to motion sickness!!!!

This video is terrible and I apologize. I can't hold the camera still to save my life.

I'll probably try to post a few individual photos later because there really were a few things in here that I really liked.
