A page of eighteen composition thumbnails, sketched in ink, showing rough illustration compositions, with dynamic characters in action within a setting. The idea is to make striking "trading card" illustrations, so the challenge is to work out interesting scenes, especially utilizing space and value, while focusing primarily upon the characters.

Composition thumbnails for trading card-style illustrations.

A blue elf cave man. What? You Think this is a goblin? Clearly, you're wrong; this creature is blue.

I got some Posca paint pens for a great price at a local outlet store, and I'm seeing what they can do. Bright, opaque, I like 'em.
