Rough Sketches? - May 22nd (Patreon)

One of the main reasons I don't post really rough sketches is that I never really think folks would want to see the 'mad scribbles' stage of most of my roughs.

I know a lot of artists who can do some really defined and clean looking rough sketches in comparison.  When I start any sketch it's literally a lot of gesture lines followed by 'greying in' of something I have in mind.  I scratch in the basic anatomical shapes and try to do something around those (sometimes skeletal, other times it's literally a box I add lines to).

I had a couple people ask for views of these very, very rough stages, and while I'm flattered I don't actually know if its something most viewers online would want to see.

If its something most people would generally want to see, I'm happy to post them, though.  These are the very basic, shapes-and-scribbles stages.  Literally just ideas I add to a canvas and either work on in more detail, or that I file away for later.

So here's a sample of what these roughs would look like.  In this case its an image for a player's character, a Khavijas druid giving a 'boop' of fire to a tree.

If you all are okay with these sketches being in the mix, I'm fine with posting them as I go through them.  I just don't want to flood the steam with these or feel like I'm trying to pad out content for a month.  Usually I'll post the iterated version, after research and looking up reference images/models/etc.
