Kitsune

Fox in the snow

Girl in the snow, where will you go To find someone that will do? To tell someone all the truth before it kills you They listen to your crazy laugh Before you hang a right And disappear from sight What do they know anyway?  Youll read it in a book What do they know anyway? Youll read it in a book tonight

Character

This week

Is  now time to built up my own world, I need characters and I want to define a quicker style to populate my illustrations, I definitely want to keep an eye on compositions and simple geometry ,but  I don’t want to force everything and go too vector style drawing perfectly round heads and squared clouds, I’d like to keep  a bit of figurative drawing, yet the final image should be as simple as graphic design. Apparently I have it all set only.. I’m yet not sure how to actually get there. I started with this character using just a couple of colors, big realistic eyes are banned, but small points for eyes are just too cute for what I’m trying to get, absence of eyes is just about perfect. Although eyes are among my favorite doodling subject I must say I’m going to find out how expressive can a face be with no eyes at all.So far so good. Any suggestion?

Formal Balance

This week:

LEARN:
Find the right tool to get what you need in no time. Nowadays there is one for sure, use some time to find it and spend less time realizing what you have in mind. It will always work. and your work will gain slickness with a new fresher approach.

PRODUCE:
I’m setting up a place to stay for the longest period in the last 12 years, is more fun than what I expected, it  also left me no time in front of any laptop or scratch book , then I found  sketchbook app for Iphone, using its mirror tool and the tip of my finger, is like sketching into the air, I totally love it!
