Winter Games Sketches

Have a look and see what I started out with. I've made quite a few changes to the design while keeping the layout simple. I'm a firm believer that you don't necessarily have to have everything fine tuned on paper. That's half the battle. The next half is fine tuning it up on screen. As you all know my sketches rarely look the same as what's online.

What KV Used to Look Like

Take a look and see the explorations that Kartoon Vandalz went through to get to where we are now. You'll see some familiar faces with some minor and major changes.

Sketches n Layouts for New Design

Take a look at these sketches! I'm a big believer of sketching whenever you feel inspired just before you loose that edge. I try to keep some paper and a pen near by so I can doodle whenever I feel creative. Try it out with different tools too. Sometimes pencil, pens, or blood. Well. Maybe not pens.

Sketch for KV Luminous

Hey all,
Check out this doodle I did for the new work. You know sometimes it's just fun to doodle and let your mind wander. It's a satisfying sense of adventure when you're creating something from scratch. Then you'll explore more and more and before you know it, you're really hating what you've done. However, you erase here add a line here, and all of a sudden you're loving it! Nice.

Anyway, Danny really stretched his mind for this one. He wanted something classical but with of course our Kartoon edge. And after were done brain storming, I took the sketch and brought it on screen.

Bam! Done.

Way of the Samurai... Pencils

Have a browse through a few of these shots that I took while sketching up the "Way of the Samurai" art piece. Sketching is incredibly important to the creative soul. It really helps to channel all of that creativity and project it onto paper. While that being half of the battle, bringing it on screen is another battlefield to conquer.

KV Nocturnal Scan

This is what the original scan looked like before I colourized it on screen. Many times what you see in sketches don't quite turn out the same on screen. It's all about play and exploration. Thanks

Original Sketch of KV Pho 101

Hi all.

Here's an original sketch of the KV Pho 101 artwork that was just posted not long ago. It all started when I was at Pho 101 thinking to myself, "Let's find some way to get noticed".

Hopefully this gives you a rough idea of all the hard work illustrators go through to produce a single illustration. Thanks and enjoy!
