These might be the final two sketches for now, just so that I don't push the next fully finished painting too far ahead. I would like to try to get into the habit of doing these types of sketches more often than I have in the past, but we'll see.
Time lapse videos and PSD files are in the attachments for all my fellow process nerds. 🤓
One thing I've noticed while doing this approach to sketching is that I feel a little bit less in control of my shape language compared to when I'm sketching with outlines. That might just be something I need practice to adjust to with the different workflow, but I might also experiment with temporary lineart to make sure the shape language is good, as long as that extra step doesn't take a disproportionate amount of extra time, which it very well might. It'll be interesting to see.
I hope you like the sketches!
