Pirate Bear Gets a Fresh Pose

Tweet

Upon submitting the rough sketch of Pirate Bear to the client, she decided that she wanted a more dynamic pose, with his head more thrown back, and she wanted to switch his sword to the other side. She sent me a rough sketch of her so that I could implement these suggestions. With that direction, it was time to start the "comp" (comprehensive) sketch. A comp sketch is not yet the finish art, but it is done in full color and approximates the feeling of the finish art, although it is usually done in a quick, less final medium, such as marker instead of paint. These days, digital art is an option, as well, so I decided to produce the comp sketch as a piece of digital art. This is the first stage of the digital sketch - the line art. More to come!
