Sketch Cards – Damsels and Dinosaurs

I have found that doing sketch cards is a great way to work on issues like anatomy, layout, and color.

Working in a space that’s 2.5 x 3.5 inches takes a little getting used to.  For me, even though I’ve done 1000+ cards at this point, I keep trying to find ways to economize and make each card more interesting.

The limitations of space and size will either put you in a rut, or push you to try and do more with what you have.  (And its easy to get into a rut with deadlines looming, I know.) Keeping on a schedule has helped me to better cards, in my opinion.

Here are 9 cards from Sadlittles Damsels and Dinosaurs set.

I loved dinosaurs growing up. In fact, until this set, I had forgotten how much I still like them.
