\"In-progress<\/a>
“Varr\u00e9” from Elden Ring | Current work-in-progress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I realized while typing the title for this post that it’s been exactly a month since I posted with the first time I drew Varr\u00e9,<\/a> haha.<\/p>\n

I did the sketch for this last week while working on the comic pages, and I’d like to finish it sometime after the second chapter is a little more finalized.<\/p>\n

\"Messy<\/a>
“Varr\u00e9” from Elden Ring | Initial sketch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The initial sketch from last week. The colors you see in this post were added quickly this morning, as a little break from the current comic for today.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The drawing at a slightly earlier stage from the top of this post, as I figured out which color scheme I wanted to use.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is an earlier work-in-progress i think is less interesting. But I happened to save it, so here it is! <\/p>\n

\"Very<\/a>
Initial thumbnail sketches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I forgot I also saved the thumbnail sketches in the file – starts from left-to-right. The left idea was the initial idea, which is different from how the drawing ended up going. The middle thumbnail is trying out a variation of the first, as the first thumbnail wasn’t matching the idea I was imagining. (I might try that one again another time, as it’s a more difficult idea for me because it has more foreshortening). <\/p>\n

The third thumbnail is the second one duplicated and then worked on further – lately, I’ve noticed I tend to concept my initial ideas this way. With a very messy thumbnail\/sketch\/silhouette, then duplicating it and dragging it to another part of the canvas. I might repeat this process a few times until I decide whether I like the idea or not. Then I’ll take the most recent version, hide the rest, and resize the “concept sketch” larger, and work on it that way. <\/p>\n

It feels convoluted to me, but something about those extra steps seems to help me a lot with concepting. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
