Happy Halloween!<\/strong> What better way to celebrate than with some Guild Wars 2-themed artwork? <\/p>\n

I was feeling sentimental over one of my favorite NPC’s in Guild Wars 2, and was inspired to sketch him a few times this month. Above is a warm-up sketch from the 30th. In addition to a warm-up practice, there were a few other things I was practicing in this one. One was a new nib I wanted to try again (the Wacom “brush” nib), and I’ve also been meaning to test if I can still videocapture simple drawings with my current setup, or if it’d be too laggy. <\/p>\n

The test seems to have worked! Here’s the timlapse process below (condensed down to 25 secs): <\/p>\n

“Bloody Prince Thorn” Timelapse Process<\/h3>\n

I like how this nib uses less brush pressure when I use it. I used to use the felt nibs, and switched to the default plastic nib around a year ago. I used to prefer that friction-feel, but after doing more lineart, I seem to prefer less friction now. The brush nib is even softer, and it felt natural drawing with it here. <\/p>\n

Sketch from earlier this month <\/h4>\n

Below is an earlier sketch from this month, also of “Bloody Prince Thorn,” or “Edrick Thorn”: <\/p>\n

\"Loose<\/a>Like the drawing at the top of this post, this is another construction-drawing-from-imagination practice. I’ve probably mentioned it elsewhere on this sketchblog, about how when I’m aimless sketching, I often default to unflattering angles of faces. I think my mind takes it up as some masochistic challenge. <\/p>\n

Bonus: 2D Animation Warm-up <\/h3>\n
