I'm a huge fan of the Anime and Manga series Dragon Ball Z, and I've used my interest recently to refine my sketching and rendering techniques through character design. This piece was done using a ball point Biro, with different levels of hatching to acquire the desired shading.
This piece was done again, with a Biro but I chose to use acrylic pencils for the infill. I chose to use Biro for these sketches so as not to become reliant on erasers and to promote quick renders for later use in concept generation.

Manual Sketching and Rendering

These are some examples of my hand renderings. Manual sketching is the element of my work I enjoy most, and have worked the hardest to improve. Through practice, i'm now in a position where I feel really proud of these pieces.
