Oh, Sayara, I want to see me get to a final product lately; I keep losing interest in shit.
I found a picture of an Ast caught in the act (http://www.kerrybarnett.com/misc/sneakpreview.jpg), though.

For a minute, I thought the topic read "Dat Ast." I was like, wut?

[Sayara]

oooh~
The reason i say this is cuz i wonder how others do sketchbiooks and stuff, i guess since yiou're a digital painter, you don't keep a sketchbook like ala pen and pencil.

I kind of kept a sketchbook at Uni just for something to thumbnail in when I was away from my computer (and because it's apparently weird to NOT have one if you're an artist), but my poor harddrives get (ab)used in the way most sketchbooks do--i.e. they're filled with cast-off doodles and unfinished projects... and I don't like deleting even eighth-baked sketches until a couple years have passed and I know I won't, for some reason, want them. I sometimes make "pages" of thumbnails, pick one I like, and then upscale it to work it up to a sketch and beyond. So, that's the answer!
