A few evening sketches for practice for the past few weeks.

This are the good ones, haha. Learning is perfect for coping with the fact that you may not know a little more than you expected.

New sci-fi settlement painting, Entaria Town!

Commissioned by Sebastian S.

Full line of the upcoming town map.

Key thing in this stage is to control the level of details. You don't want to render every little thing - surprisingly, the full image won't look detailed at all this way.

Procreate sketch!

My goal it to draw all kinds of maps in all possible settings.

So, one more step to perfection - Broken Endure space map!

Commissioned by Nathan G.

Usually I do a rough sketch/layout, make quick 3D blocking sketch, paint over it to show locations and points of interest + colors, and then repaint over it with clean line and colors.

Yeah, it depends on the goal. Sometimes I need to do more readable city, so I lose some shadows to make it detailed and more bright and colorful too.

While I'm playing with Procreate on my new iPad please check #sketchvsfinal of my latest city!

Carthigia City - little town with a beautiful castle.

It was a challenge to get the details and colors right, but very much worth it.
