    Default James Zapata's Sketchbook


    BIG RED LETTERS

    Hey all. I love this site and thought I'd start my very own sketchbook. I visit enough to start participating. I see some great sketchbooks on here and I hope to get better with your help!

      I don't know if I should post works that I've finished here, so I'll just start with the last thing I was working on.

          Speed painting. Taking a break from the big Zelda project. Maybe I should take an actual break from drawing.... my hand hurts.

                So, I've been working extensively on the new Zelda anniversary-themed challenge, which is due in a few days, and can't decide if I should add to it or not. Mayhaps someone here can suggest some cool stuff? I'm pretty satisfied with it overall, but if there are some good ideas, or even critiques, I'm all ears (eyes).

                  Here is an example of my process. One of my processes, I should say. I am really disorganized and have too many approaches to paintings. I guess that's a good thing? I dunno...

                  Process is in attachments.

                    I don't know if the day already passed for this,
                    but on that legend of zelda piece, link has a really sinister expression I might suggest softening his expression so he looks a bit less.. evil.

                    nice stuff in here so far!

                      Thanks, amiima! I'll definitely give it a look-over.

                      Here is a short sketch I did. Just toying with a cool brush. Love the texture in it.
