Thanks, Dave! The biggest obstacles for me feel like adjusting to the small paper size, the paper stock, and the perceived absence of a safety net. Sketchbook drawings are care-free, and digital drawing is endlessly revisable. Live drawing, especially on a sketch cover, has that fun danger and excitement of uncertainty. When I see the abandon with which other artists approach the drawings, it reminds me that we’re all just kids messing around with crayons. Go have some fun and play.
Very cool watching you work on that cover, Jason! I've been scared to try a sketch cover myself. Looking forward to seeing the final result.
