More Brownies and Leprechauns.

Another page of possible characters for the new Irish Myths inspired book project I will be starting in May. I'm just trying to get a bit of a head start on some of the character designs. I'm anticipating the need for a variety of colourful bit players to populate the backgrounds and border regions of some illustrations.

What grade pencil do you use for these sketches? If I were to hazard a guess... 2B?; March 29, 2010 at 1:53 PM

The pencil I tend to use the most these days is a simple, bic disposable tech pencil - it seems to have just the right feel and of course no sharpening. But I still like the old wooden pencils as well and it's usually a 2B as you guessed :); March 30, 2010 at 8:59 AM
Larry MacDougall said...: Thanks Tiny Pearl. I have a story in mind that I would love to illustrate but I have to write it first and that seems to be where the whole process goes into the ditch :); March 30, 2010 at 9:00 AM

Mad Dwarf Workshop said...: Larry, your art is incredible and has inspired me to do more sketching involving mythology and the sword work I do:
