New exploration

Ok, every Tuesday will be sketch anything day ( I will work on a better title ). Sketch something, anything every Tuesday and post it up by the end of the day. It can be big or little, from the scene outside your window to the pencil laying on you desk, in any media you want but try to experiment with different styles. This is not a beauty contest so even if you have a super narly sketch it's ok, that can be the "style" you're going after. The idea is to get into the habit of making a sketch everyday, starting with Tuesday, to help build your sketching skill and creative thinking.

Have fun with it and don't think about it. Just look at something close by and make a sketch of it.

Word :: FROZEN

Alright, for this weeks exploration we are going to do much the same as Speak Up's word it. You can use anything to express the topic, the only constraints are that you design within a 4x4 inch square. Keep your original files because at some point when we have a considerable amount we will make a book out of them.

Also, we should probably think about constraining the size of the self portraits for future use in print as well. Any suggestions?

self portrait

I'm feeling a little Polynesian since I began work on my tiki series so for this week I decided my self portrait should reflect some of the work I have been doing.

Let the projects begin!

OK, my partner in crime -- here it is -- this is a place for us to challenge each other with design projects. I've been thinking a lot about what our first project should be! And I thought it would be something simple. My idea is to do a self portrait, focusing particularly on who you are today -- the things you're going through right now. But you can't show your face!! You can use any medium you want, no guidelines on that. If you want to use type you can, but if you don't want to you don't have to. I know this is written poorly tonight. I'll have to go back and edit it tomorrow when I'm thinking more clearly.

Enjoy. Oh, and I guess we should have like a week to do each project. What do you think? A week?
