Hi there everyone,

first of all, thanks everyone for your +watches, +favs, comments and all the support in general, I really appreciate it, seeing that you appreciate my personal artworks really helps me keep going :)

Update number one - me and my friend have recently taken part in a Moontopia competition, we had to come up with an idea for a Moon settlement/colony. Our idea was a Lunar Space Elevator. If you have a spare moment, please vote for our project here,  you may need to register for that (it's completely free and you don't need to opt in any newsletters, etc., it's just for verification, so there won't be people voting multiple times). Our team no. is EC2320-C.

Update number two - feel free to also check out my Space That Never Was project tumblr - spacethatneverwas.tumblr.com/ which is still going quite well. Regarding Space That Never Was short movie, I don't want to spoil anything, but we're doing some test filming later this month :) 

Also don't forget to follow me on various social media:

Hey, I wanted to let you know about another indie project I was involved in lately. It's a short film based on Another World game by Éric Chahi. I did concepts for environments, props and also mattepaintings. You can see both the film and making of in videos below.

Another World aka Project 23 emerged a few months ago as an idea for a short film inspired by a well-known game Another World. Initially it was planned as a short promo video for the Pixel Heaven 2014 event, but during months of preparation it became clear that it will be something much bigger. You can find more info at: www.anotherworld-themovie.com/



Making of:




 In some time I'll be also showing some of commercial work I did over past year, so stay tuned.

Some of you may already know that I'm doing lots of traditional sketches - I'm posting them on my blog (art-of-voyager.blogspot.com), on my instagram (voyager212) and to my facebook (Maciej Rebisz).

I got some questions about tools I use so I've decided to create short articles explaining techniques and tools I use. Ok, so let's start, here's a quick review of Sharpie markers.

When I was in a high school I was a big fan of pencils. I used all kinds of them - automatic, graphite, solid graphite, charcoal. Then I discovered other media - pens and markers. I fell in love with them almost immediately and I use them all the time since then.

I prefer pens and markers over pencils because somehow they make you think quickly about the design before making a mark on the paper. Once you put a mark on the paper, it stays there, forever. Each line has a meaning. Yes, it is more difficult to get what you want and it's easier to ruin the drawing with even one bad line. But if so, you have to start a new sketch, which results in lots of design variations and there is always chance of "happy accidents". With pencils, you would just erase bad line and refine the drawing until it's done, but you end up with one design. By keeping all steps and evolution of a design, permanent media help my design process a lot.

In this first episode of Tools of Doom, I'll talk a bit about Sharpie Markers, the basic tool I use for sketching.

Sharpie Permanent Markers

Sharpie's are quick drying permanent (on most surfaces) markers with awesome ink, that doesn't have that metallic gloss which other black permanent markers have. They're produced by Sanford and have Art & Creative Materials Institute certificate.

There are 3 sizes that I use - Ultra Fine Point, Extra Fine Point and Fine Point. Each one gives you a different line weight, so usually I combine them all while sketching. But actually you can use Ultra Fine Point for all sketch work. Extra Fine and Fine Point are good for filling larger areas with black. Sometimes I use Extra Fine Point for drawing quick thumbnail sketches like in the next photo.

Here's a sketch using Ultra fine and Fine for heavier lines that help to indicate the form.

I use black Sharpies for sketching, but there are other colors available. Sometimes i use green, red or yellow for some notes and indications.

Here are a couple of more examples of Sharpie sketches.

Since usually you can't get Sharpies in any kind of store in Poland, I have to order them from online distributor in 12 pieces packs. I use them a lot anyway and that way I always have a fresh ones on my desk.


Coming next - Copic Markers.
