Very kind of you all....Thanks, Jan, Joe, and Drew !<br />Very kind of you all. I am pleased with where things are going. Hope I can keep up the climb!<br />So much work ahead of me--it is very encouraging to know it is not going to waste. :)<br />I'll keep hard at it.<br /><br />Kat---Another restaurant server who knew what the receipt tape was REALLY for! I salute you!<br /><br />When I sketch, I have a tendency to produce sound effects appropriate to what I'm drawing. This, as you can imagine, can be quite comical ---especially when sitting in a coffee shop...<br /><br />---JeremyNinja Mountainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499718250710846157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18602782.post-79882756003463096202010-10-20T10:39:40.672-07:002010-10-20T10:39:40.672-07:00Thanks very much, Glendon.

Glad you could join us. <br /><br />I have a reporter style moleskine I used for a while -- but I didn't quite feel free to mess it up until I had a second waiting to replace it. Stupid brain with its overdeveloped fear of loss.<br /><br />Jan: captioning sounds too much like whimsy or fun. I only scowl when I draw (and paint).Drew Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265950214198768275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18602782.post-68239414611570536782010-10-20T10:00:48.187-07:002010-10-20T10:00:48.187-07:00I've been using a Moleskine Folio to sketch - ...I've been using a Moleskine Folio to sketch - at first I did treat every page as precious, and tried to make a masterpiece out of every pulp fiber. <br /><br />Slowly starting to sketch in ArtRage, which I like. I can change the background tones which helps me see the image from the start. <br /><br />First time listening to the podcast - great show!

It can be guaranteed that a drawing attempted on nice expensive paper will screw up, but that a sketch started on the back of a dog-eared crumpled old bank statement will turn out to be a masterpiece.

(The Einhorn piece is AWESOME, I lo...Thanks, Drew! <br />(The Einhorn piece is AWESOME, I love the subtle narrative bits.)<br /><br /><br />Weird question: do you guys ever add text or captions to your sketches? It's quite a common thing among people showing their sketches online, I especially noticed it on CA.org. And I find it quite annoying. <br />Every quirky punk girl you draw, or a Lovecraftian monstrosity, they all have to have a speech bubble next to them, saying "'sup?!" or "Derp!" or something "witty" like that.<br /><br />I did it once or twice, because I hoped it would make my sketches cooler. <br /><br /><br />But it didn't.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852127435931262360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18602782.post-53300867887898956452010-10-14T18:21:00.304-07:002010-10-14T18:21:00.304-07:00(Also, I agree about Jeremy's work.)(Also, I agree about Jeremy's work.)Drew Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265950214198768275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18602782.post-57542563654352732352010-10-14T18:11:41.342-07:002010-10-14T18:11:41.342-07:00The thumbnails aren't linking to larger versio...The thumbnails aren't linking to larger versions for me either, Jan.

The grid -- and dot grid -- is 5mm, for reference. I did a few other sketches for the riders, trying a portrait crop, but they were on loose paper and I can't find them.

If the AD is just the owner or they're new to the whole thing, then I'll make a more detailed and clear sketch. Usually I'll send fewer sketches to these clients so that I can ensure a good option is picked.<br /><br />I did some work for Jon a while back and since he's an artist and experienced, I sent him a lot of really rough sketches for one brief.<br /><br />If I'm working with someone who is doing art by committee then I'll often send tighter sketches just because they often take too long to respond with feedback on the sketches. So I hope to save time by sending a sketch that I can begin rendering once they've responded.Joe Slucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207126311688232266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18602782.post-17359760978677782402010-10-14T00:34:24.693-07:002010-10-14T00:34:24.693-07:00I can't click them thumbnails to see the large...I can't click them thumbnails to see the large awesomeness! :(<br /><br />(although from the thumbs it seems Jeremy keeps levelling up.
