100Days: Day 003- 006

Days 003 - 006 of the 100 Days Project

So what have I found from completing almost a week of doing a digital ink sketch a day. Well I was behind after only two days but after that first hiccup and even with a pressing client E3 deadline I have managed to catch up and keep up with doing one of these a day.
The trick I have found is, as with anything, in the starting. I use those spare moments during the day where I could just be staring out the window in a sleep deprived, slack-jawed drooling state to instead pootle away and find an idea amidst the chaos. Once the idea is found, it's actually not that hard for me to want to realise the image and see how it stacks up.

So after a week down. Only 94 days to go!  I'm loving the free design that comes out of the purely and totally random nature that I have of generating these.

My tablet has a record feature on it for the sketching app, but it isn't in an easily exportable format so once I figure that out, hopefully I'll be able to show the completely anarchic nature of the process. This is the creative process unbridled...and I'm lovin it!

Hundred Day Project: Day 001

The hundred day project officially started today (and boy did it creep up on me quickly) Despite some initial technical issues with their website they are all sorted and now there is no excuse to not get going. What will follow will be a hundred consecutive days of sketches. I've been wanting to practice my digital inking so this is what I'm going to do...for a hundred days in a row....if I can. 

Having done quite a few monthly daily sketch things I know how hard it actually can be to be that consistent, so the hundred days will be really pushing it. I'm gonna take up the challenge and do my best...and probably come up with a lot less than that for much of the time, which brings us to the lowly offerings for Day 001.
Sigh. Well at least I intend on getting better....look forward to that.
