Puddleink's Ink Puddle; A Quasi-sketchbook

Puddleink's Ink Puddle

A centralized location for most of my sketches--be them rendered completely or just on the back of a napkin.
Content may or may not be related to MassiveCraft, however all will be 100% PuddleInk.

Majority of content will be conceptul with no other purpose than to improve own work. If there are things that do not look finished or polished, it is either intended, or they will be completed to Ink's satisfaction.

Critique is most welcome on those pieces that state they want critique. Please be respectful of the sketchbook environment. Blah blah blah... honestly, y'all got the rules already. this is jsut covering my own rump.

-- content to be updated weekly.. day to be determined. yes. i"m going to try to do art dump method. we'll see if i actually do this correctly. --

Specs and Information; A quick Reference.

Analog and Digital methods are what I use when I create these things.

Ballpoint Pens and Ye Olde Recycled Printer Paper is what I end up for most my initial sketches or most of my sketches that meet their end being filed away in the Can of Fail ( Trashcan.)

Watercolor Pencils are more for fun here and there.... I've never got the hang of using markers or anything more complicated than maybe the occasional watercolor smear or graphite and charcoal fiddle faddle.

Digital works tend to be used with an Intuos 4 ( or any WACOM tablet I've had my arms on) and done over the course of 4 to 120 hours in either Photoshop ( CS currently...I don't like it. It sucks. Its horrible.... Don't get the latest PS. Get something earlier.) or Krita ( a freeware program designed to be the Painter equivilant on Linux. Its awesome. Get it...if you know your way around Photoshop or the equivilant or something)

I will be making a note of what process I use in the individual posts to help show you what and why. ... And I will probably never know how much time I spend on something.

ADHD has its curse of always being distracted.

For my base sketches, I use analog materials. ( Ball point pens, blue pencils, regular pencils, paper... etc..)

For digital works, I tend to blend between Krita ( a freeware that is an excellent subsitute for Painter/Photoshop but lacks the power of manipulation that Photoshop has) and Photoshop.


I'll make note on the posts what I used for what. Mhm!

Thank you very much, I appreciate the encouragment.

Was waiting for a call today ( 1.9.16) and grabbed a legal pad and some random generic ballpoint pen ( that smudges a lot... Its sad.) This is also what happens when I browse pinterest for neat poncho ideas.

Just some tiny doodles at work and a bit of design practice. ... Don't mind the Orca. They're critics enough.
( Pen, Paper, and some standard markers ) (11.9.16)

while, yes, I do doodles, I dabble in textiles and toys too. blanketed as well. since I haven't posted anything in a while, let me show off what I was working on instead. A large blue leafy scaly shawl! ... orca for scale.

@Gabuchi Thanks!

-----------------------------------------

Found one of the last remaining pencils in the world ( as in, holy cow, I found graphite! it still exists!) decided to doodle while at work waiting for end of shift.

Character building idea I just thought up while being bored and fluffing around. I'm incredibly disapointed in the fur, but I don't draw as much as I used to. Played around with the idea of a vauge BG .

I STILL EXIST! HUZZAH!!

Working on some thumbnails for storyboards for a small animation i have in my head. They are very rough and still in very early planning. (ballpoint and paper)

also, have some Kiwi Orca and Commander Speedy Snail doodles.
