For today’s warmup I thought I’d try drawing a character into a photo. Not sure it was 100% successful, but that’s what sketches are for: playing around, practicing, and sometimes making mistakes.

The Character Design Challenge group on Facebook posts a new character idea each month and invites artists to contribute their version of the character. It’s a lot of fun.

Thought I’d try something different for today’s warmup sketch. Every week artist Mallory Carlson posts a random shape on her Twitter feed and challenges other artists to do something with it. Above is this week’s shape and my take on it.
