NEW BOOK: Character sketches

Character sketches by Wouter Tulp 

I just launched my new book. It is a small 7"x 7" book filled with 36 pages of character sketches. It can be ordered on the blurb website.

Frogs

I am collaborating with Colin Levy on his project. These are the first explorations of what may be the main character of a story he is working on.

The hunter

That's it! I'm out of here!

Warmup sketch

Plein air

Plein air sketch of the koninginnebrug, Rotterdam. I don't think I have ever painted this fast to capture the quickly changing sunlight. I love this time of the day to paint, but time is very limited...

Plein air sketch

I had a great time painting plein air with Arne yesterday.
The sun was setting fast, so we had only about an hour to do a little sketch. In this hour, the sunlight changed dramatically, so we had to make descisions really fast. Having limited time is always good to stay extra focused, and also I find the light and colors of a sunset very beautiful.

This is me and my primitive setup...

And this is Arne, who works a bit more sophisticated...

And his painting...

Character designs

I'm working on a childrens book at the moment. I made this clay sketch of the main character,yhat I'll use as reference in the process.
