Sketchbook Fridays! Let's start a new thing here with a critically important but often overlooked part of a concept artist's journey - sketching. While sketches are often viewed as disposable practice images or process work, they are often a vital tool in getting hired and launching a pro career.
Hang out with me for a while as I sketch a sheet of alien heads and talk about stuff.
