Vis dev art for Project Apricot

After being freshly inspired and motivated from the comics workshop, Mari, DanAnh and I have been doing daily sketch time together!  It's amazing what a regular habit of sketching for 15-30 minutes each day can do to further vis dev which had been a blocker for me for a while. 

The camaraderie is also a really remarkable motivating factor.  It's wonderful to be working side-by-side with these talented ladies who are also passionate about storytelling and really want to bring to life their creative vision.  The only thing better than making progress on my project is also seeing Mari and DanAnh make progress on their projects.  I am so eager to see what wonderful things they will create.

Here is a compilation of some of the sketches I've done over the last week or so.  They are mostly character sketches.  I finally hit a stride with the character faces.  While these are not all finalized, I'm pretty pleased to see that some of them really match what I was envisioning for the characters.

I'm simultaneously proud of the progress and thankful for it.  Inspiration doesn't come just through effort.  Every bit of it feels like a gift.  Here's to inching towards our dreams.
