It is so nice to see rough early stage drawings or sketches. Most people think that where an artist finishes with his or her work is where they started.

Not so.

The education of the leaning to draw process is one of building, a bit like the construction of a building!

Start with the wireframe in the foundation for the concrete to take hold. This is the reinforcement of a solid beginning.

Build from there.

So nice stuff on this blog, look and learn and remember, "Anyone CAN learn to draw!".

Cheers,

Artist Greg Gillespie

this is such a great blog!
I really like the idea of showing a character from the concept to the final design. I have never thought that the governor was that thin in a stage :p
waiting for round 2 ;)

Too cool!
Thanks for showing the process.

It's always nice to see how we arrive at any given place(in art or in real world places). Getting there is usually half the fun.

looking forward to the other ones you have planned.

Thanks again.

Thanks for posting these, Randal. Especially the 'Robin Hood' desgns. I have been a huge fan of that movie since I was a kid, and was so disappointed by the lack of special features on the DVD that came out.
