This year will be an interesting one on a creative level -- having been MIA for a while on here, I thought it was time to share a rough of a character that I have had in my head for a while. This is a page from my sketch book -- often my habit is to sketch a concept and tell myself that I will work on it later...the black and white sketch taped in the upper left corner was my original that I kept on my desk for MONTHS. At one point, I even accidentally threw it away and had to fish it out; but then for some reason I (again) let it sit for a month or two more. Hm. The good news is that he is still on my creative agenda and now that he is on my blog he is here to stay. I like to keep the original sketches on hand to remind myself what my original intention was. Development is often a winding path-- the mini sketch or outline helps me stay focused and not get too carried away. Something about the combination of his mustache, hat and eyes makes me happy -- can't wait to move forward on this!
