Shape studies for some cape designs. May seem weird, but whether I am designing for a super stylized or a hyper realistic project, it doesn't matter...my first pass always looks like this. #derekstrattonart #derekstratton #illustration #conceptart #thumbnails #design #gameart #shapes #silhouette #sketch #doodles #medieval #cape #characterdesign #value #fashionillustration

Some artists' sketchbooks are just absolutely gorgeous. Mine are not hahha. I have never been a sketchbook guy. But I doodle on paper a lot, especially when searching for shapes or compositions. #derekstratton #derekstrattonart #doodles #sketch #thumbnails #characterdesign #shapes #sketchbook #doodle #illustration
