Amazing sketchbook paintings by Wendy MacNaughton. According to her blog she does these “five days a week, twice a day, twenty minutes each way” on her commutes. Looks like mostly pen, ink and watercolor. Really well done.

If you are into storyboard illustration or just like rough sketches, then dig this. The opening sequence to the recent film “The Brothers Bloom”. Here the director Rian Johnson. All the voice overs are his and the storyboards are by Daniel Auber. According to Johnson, it was “very slapdash, but it ended up being an invaluable tool in showing both business and creative folks we were courting how the whole thing would come together.”
If you haven’t been to our copiccommunity.com gallery yet then check it out. Recently Illustrator Angie Hoffmeister submitted some work. I followed the linkage and spent a good 20 minutes scrolling through her tumblr and digging her moleskin drawings. She has got some serious skills. Her color palette is very well defined and I love that so many of her figures seem to have freckles. From what I gather the above images uses Copic’s and watercolors. Very nicely done. I looked through my files as I remembered she had submitted this little gem below sometime last year for our old gallery. I remember looking at it for a long time. A lot of nice detail.
I love these kinds of sketchbook pages. If you have time check out her blog and deviantart page.
Check out illustrator Stuart Immonen’s drawings of people he finds on Flickr. A great idea for photo reference and some really nice caricatures.
