I came across a brief time lapse I made, skimming through my third commission sketchbooks, and I thought I would share it. It's crudely done, but I'm hoping to document all my sketchbooks over the coming months, which I'll share on my website.
I always talk about how crucial sketchbooks are to my working practice, helping to refine an idea. From a rough thumbnail sketch to a refined commission biro drawing. The first thumbnail sketches aid the ideas process, problem solving, working out basic compositions. If I'm working on a commission for someone, I'll take the sketches a stage further, mainly to give a clearer impression to the client of the proposed ideas, more than I could achieve with a basic thumbnail sketch. The biro drawing also help me work out the tonal balance of the image, before I commit to the finalised painting.
