Paradigm Shift (sort of):

Previously this DevArt account was supposed to be reserved for my pen sketches drawn in class, but since there are only two months left of my degree program (and I’ve recently started using a sketchbook again) I figured I would just turn this into a general account.

Even with this shift of purpose for this account, I would like to remind anyone who leaves a message here that it is very unlikely that I will respond to comments (generally I still read them, so post them if you would like to, but please do not expect a reply). However, if there is something important you would like to ask me, feel free to use the note system instead.


Recap: Generally this account will contain ‘ pen ’ sketches from class (computer science courses can be slow sometimes), but don’t be surprised if you see the odd sketchbook ‘ pencil ’ sketch in here as well. At least as far as the next few months are concerned...



[-- Account Description --]

(Why have this overview/info section?)
- Mostly I'm just a bit self conscious about my skills, so I want to make sure people are aware that I'm not an art student or anything when judging my drawings.

(Are reference images used while sketching?)
- For the sketches done at home: Sometimes. The more accurate the design is to the character, the more likely a reference was used.
- For the sketches done in class: No, so sometimes the designs are way off, but that's one of the things that make them interesting in my opinion.

(Pen, Pencil and Eraser)
- For the in-class sketches, generally only pen is used (lined paper too since that's all I have with me).
- For sketches done at home, both a pencil and eraser are generally used, but I try to rely on the eraser as little as possible (a good habit, or so I'm told).

(The account name: compscisketcher)
- In case you can't see it yourself, it stands for "Computer Science Sketcher". I'm a Comp Sci student (programmer).

(Other accounts)
- Yes, I do have another account here on DevArt. It is basically dead however.
