I'm a doodler. No doubt about it. In high school, the margins of my notebooks were always filled with random doodles. I found ways to be distracted long before social media came along. The problem is, while I'm good at creating spontaneous doodles, focusing deliberately on completing a project is a different story.
The latest experiment. The goal with this was to create a scene with a background plane, props and characters starting with simple shapes. Next, to add varied lighting sources and then refine it thoroughly. I imagined creating the scene as if I was placing objects in a 3D program.
On the illustration front, I'm going to continue to upload samples. I have a series of samples of video captures of Procreate that I will upload. I was doing a series of sketchbook videos.
I have a YouTube channel called JMerton Sketchbook, but I think I'll change it to JMerton Illustration and make a sketchbook a subcategory.
I can create sub-themes such as:
- Sketchbook - for random drawing
- Teaching - For sharing techniques and tips
- A Little Sketchy - Short Animations
- Live Streams
