Cave Mouth Line Weight Tests

 

Here is the same scene - a cave mouth in the middle of a forest - drawn with three different thicknesses of line because I wanted to see how they would look.  The scene is from my imagination but it is amazing to me how the details - the exact arrangement of ferns and bushes - ends up so different from one to the next. This is partly due to it being easier to block things in with a thicker marker and easier to get more detail with a thinner one.  But it also goes to show that the imagination is often far from static, even if the basic concept remains the same.

Floating Islands Made Of Giant Turnips

 

I was doodling floating islands shaped like giant turnips the other day, as one does. :)

A couple more sketches

A couple more sketches lately.  Hatching and cross-hatching are becoming more instinctive although of course there is still so much more to learn.
