New Tools

New gear (excuse the dust and debris)

Introduction

Welcome back. Today’s announcement will be short and simple. I’ve just recently purchased some traditional art supplies. There’s a few reasons for this.

The first reason is to brush up on my skills and technique. I haven’t sketched (digital or traditional) outside of my shorts in years. As I enter the next phase of my shorts, I want to be able to do more creative animation, and that’s going to require me to hand draw more.

The second reason is for this blog. I figure sketch blogs would be a fun change of pace from the usual uploads. In addition to that, due to the length of production for shorts, having some stuff like this in between might be a fun way to fill in the space.

The last reason is just having a desire to do something different. I’ve made shorts consistently for 3 years now on a very tight schedule. While I’m not bored with doing the shorts, I do miss doodling and messing around in a sketchbook. In a way, this is a selfish endeavor on my part.

That’s more or less it for now. I’m very rusty but I’m excited to get back to doodling again!

-Until next time-
