How To Draw In Your Sketchbook - 01 "MAC Sketchbook Sessions"

This is the first of many sketchbooks to come of me flipping through my sketchbooks and commenting on what I was looking for in many of the sketches and what to think about as you approach sketching - from
"on location" sketching to using you imagination to better your design work.

Hey Guys,

Thank you for all the kind comments. So - the sketchbook is a Cachet sketchbook - earthbound recycled sketchbook with an ISBN # of 1-56152-416-6 and it's great paper that can take a bit of punishment. You can find it online if it's not in any local stores. My background is not in graffiti art, I always wanted to be in the Animation industry so I just dug down and tired to make it happy, luckily it did.

do you have to go to the zoo to draw animals? u didnt draw them from photos, right?

[Cre8tivemark]

@MrsPortgas,

Photos are fine, but I think being in front of the thing your concocting is pretty important. It's gives you a dimension and 3Dimentional feel for the object a bit clearly rather than using a photo. Also you can see the animals cadence or the way it moves to make your drawings feel alive and seem more real. But I do think everything has it's place and we can't all go to the zoo regularly so videos of the animals are a good source of inspiration to me as well.

Hey man, what do you use for white?

[Cre8tivemark]

@TeamBadGuys ,

It's a PrismaColor white pencil actually.  They're great. There's also white ink pens that I have found very useful lately.

I hope that helps. Best,

MAC

@DaniiWayy00;

The white is just a PrismaColor White Pencil. It's great and very easy to sculpt with or to outline something with.
