Love it...so you just do these for practice? If so, that's really cool. Sometimes I do storyboards for local filmmakers, mostly horror & exploitation stuff (Have you heard of Revenge is Her Middle Name?), and my storyboards are similar, just very quickly rendered marker sketches.
I have a portable dvd player at my desk with stuff playing while I work (Bad Taste is in there now), but I've never thought of just pausing certain scenes and doing sketches like you do, for fun & practice...I'm going to watch Deadbeat at Dawn later today & sketch a few scenes from that.
I do them as a warm up to loosen up a bit. I should pick shots that are more reliant on good composition, rather than iconic ones like the one that preceded it. I think I'll start focusing on black and white horror movies. I'm working on a sketchbook of this stuff as well as a sketchbook with a still from every X-Files episode.
I think I saw the cover art for that movie on your blog? :)
Cool, just curious why you did them, not sure if you did storyboards on the side or whatnot. I'm more of an illustrator & concept artist, and I'm trying to build a portfolio of published stuff right now, but I love hearing what other people do to practice, etc...
I didn't post any artwork for Revenge on my blog, the dvd cover art is for another film called Double Dose of Terror...made by some local filmmakers here in PGH, PA.
