had a few precious spare minutes last night, so started playing around with constructing figures purely in silhouette and then working them up from there.
Interesting process, and I don’t often do this sort of thing.
I guess I sort of know. I knew they were going to be human and roughly what sex, so the blocked in shape was pretty much as is, I just knocked it into shape with an eraser really. But I had no real idea where I was going with clothing or what they were holding till I started throwing it together.
Arf, I make it sound so random, but I guess that’s what it is, really.

So, do you just draw a random “blob” and then fill in details after or do you know what the end product will be before you start?
