This was basically a warm up sketch, which I turned into an inking exercise. All art was done with brush, in black india ink on 11 x 14 inch Strathmore 300 Bristol board. Some white effects were added with white gouache.

All art by me :icondavidyardin:

Sold!

Brilliant work, David -- on the face especially!

Just out of curiosity:

Do you always do warm up sketches? If so, how long do you typically spend on them? And are they always set, finished pieces like this one or are they more typically random doodles on rough/spare photocopy paper?

Sorry for all the pain in the bum questions. :P

Thank you.

It depends what stage of a drawing I'm at, and what my deadlines are like, whether I do warm up sketches.
If I'm in the zone already and know I can jump straight into a drawing (or if I don't have much time) I'll go in cold, but it definitely helps to do some sort of warm up, even if it is just cross hatching, or doodling on paper beforehand. I don't always do finished drawings for warm up, this one just happened to morph into an inking exercise too.
