    It's just a way to make an extra personal gift

    I'm a bit tired these days so, I've decided to take the back seat drawing wise and read instead (much catching up to do). It's just a little pause but in the meantime, I've been able to scan the package.

    Behold Sketch 8 :

    And I know the white lines are way too thick.

    With wrapping like that, you could get away with giving people empty boxes

    What's on your to-read pile?

    Thanks Brian I've finished the "Cardinal's Blades" trilogy by french author Pierre Pevel and I just picked up my first Ursula K. LeGuin "The wizard of Earthsea". The next book is a mapping book : "Tahalla the city of eagles" by talented Guillaume Tavernier.

    Sketch 9 : I ordered a bunch of copic multiliners and wanted to try them out, especially the 0.03 mm one. It brings sketching to a new level : The freedom of hand drawn work and the precision of digital (almost). I still gotta work on my dashed strains for the parchment (which means "I gotta study J.Edward's fantastic "coup de crayon" to learn how he achieves such magnificent strokes") but I'm pleased with the result. I scanned it at 600 dpi and I'm almost done turning it into a torn parchment by Hattam Reyes (I've still got sketch 5 to finish in that spirit). I tried to apply the tears and wears to the linework. Here's the 150 dpi version, just cleaned of it's dots.

    Really, really beautiful. Looks like you have the same idea as me: "I gotta study J.Edward's fantastic "coup de crayon" to learn how he achieves such magnificent strokes"

    I saw some of Tavernier's work from that thread you made elsewhere. Brilliant stuff, that. It reminds me a lot of some Franco-Belgian comics I've seen. Particularly "Les Cités Obscures" by Schuiten & Peeters.

    @ Blaidd : Yeah, Schuiten & Peeters love for cyclopean buildings is bottomless.

    Ok, not really a sketch but it will be the canvass to the sketch and sure deserves its own post. A four pieces worn parchment drawn on A3 paper. Long but worth it (thanks copic 0.03 !). I just hope I did not overdo it.

    Almost Sketch 10 :

    Now the question is, what will I draw on it ... ?

    The funny thing is that at first, I didn't see a parchment but a great lake region, like in in the NW of Canada.

    It's kinda torn, so, I'd say a treasure or a pirate map ; a map or a plan that has suffered a bit. And it could be fun to wonder what missing informations are in the holes .
