Sketches and speedpaintings

When creating commissioned art, sketches and speedpaintings are a great tool to communicate ideas. A rough or sketch clarifies if we are on the right track. Art directions may change because, seeing his/her ideas visualised, a client may make different decisions.
You want to get a clear impression of the final result, which is why my sketches leave little room for guessing. Sometimes colour or type is part of the design as a whole so I might incorporate it in the sketch. These examples were all for commissioned artwork (some renderings are elsewhere on this website), except the model drawings. Drawing from life is an exercise in understanding and sketching the human form. Finally, some examples are animations that give you an idea of the process involved. Enjoy them all!
