We all know about Brainstorming. I was thinking about making a “Doodle-Storm”. Try, and send me yours !
It’s a real pleasure to get absorbed by the “Doodle-Storm” session – Drawing some free form of an Earphone. I didn’t give myself a time limit (I had the whole night in front of me). However, my aim was filling the full canvas of Sketchbook Pro before I fall asleep on my Wacom screen tablet Cintiq 22.
To avoid distraction (Facebook, Twitter, Emails…), I plug some
earphone in my ears and watch a movie while drawing. I realized that I could get more productive and creative that way linking pleasure of drawing with pleasure of watching a comedy.

01:50 Fill the blank space of sketches
02:14 Train your vision, drawing in multiple views
02:28 Press Ctrl-Z (Undo) to explore different lines

02:40 To direct the viewer eye through the board

May 29, 2015Ahah, it’s very simple. It’s the setting by default of the pencil tool. I draw the earphones with Sketchbook Pro, not Photoshop. 🙂

February 19, 2015Great video! What settings do you use for the pencil tool? Do you change the pencil thickness yourself or is it just the pressure sensitivity settings?
Thanks!

February 20, 2015Hey Carlos,
I used the setting by default of the pencil tool. I seldom changed the thickness “manually”. I mostly use the pen pressure sensitivity. Note that you can adjust this sensitivity to your own preference. You can see how at the article here: http://thedesignsketchbook.com/how-to-get-a-more-sensitive-pen-with-sketchbook-pro/
See yah.
