Hi I'm Nicola!

Captain Serious in all his glory! I missed spooky season 🎃with this one but got this idea for revenant stuck in my head after seeing a movie poster for an old Japanese movie Harakiri.

Hey, Yeah I can try help! I'll also point you in the direction of some of the people I pull inspiration from. ( and take all of my advice with a grain of salt 😝 got to find what works for you personally) Sorry if its a bit rambley I just love sketching. So I have a industrial design / automotive design background so that heavily feeds into the way I think when sketching I also learnt most of my sketching skills on paper with a basic bic ball point pen ('Bic Crystal M' for lyf).

The idea behind my sketching style is to present an idea as quickly and as efficiently as possible for me that's using linework, which can quickly be developed later by throwing colour under it or later painting over the top.

The way I was taught was to flesh out the idea as best as possible not being precious in the sketch phase, focusing on design, shape, hierarchy form etc before drilling down into small details like bolts cut lines, fun details. Make sure the large shapes are strong before proceeding to details other wise you'll need to fix them later.

Once that's done and it might be a bit messy you can focus on cleaning it up. In digital make a new layer to draw on and drop the opacity on the first layer so its barely visibly this will make you focus on the new sketch and not perfectly copying the old. On paper you can put another page on top or just flip it over and draw on the other side! I do this in my sketch book all the time.

That's kinda my process anyway experiment have fun! Hope this helps!
