Sketchbook Pages + STREAM Announcement

Whoop, it's small Sketchbook Dump time. :) 

Most of my sketches lately have been to work out the artwork I want to put on the box for the custom brush set with Craftamo. I need to figure it out sooner rather than later as the brushes are set to go into manufacture very soon. 

I could use artwork I already have, but I'm somewhat keen to create something particular to fit the format of the box, so as per usual, I am making more work for myself than is strictly necessary....sigh...

I have decided to do the final decision making on live, so I will be streaming tomorrow, Friday 25th, 2 to 4pm GMT (10-12 EST I believe that is), on my Youtube channel!

This will be a test stream, to see if my setup is adequate, if the time works, I people enjoy it, and all that. If it works well, I will be trying to stream more often, and I might put in place a Patreon question, or something along those lines, where Patrons can ask me a question ahead of time and I can answer that on stream. Or something. Suggestions as to how to involve you guys in a particular way are welcome :) 

So, in light of that stream tomorrow, I wanted to share the sketches with you first!

The sketches on that first page above are a mix of ideas for pieces, and box designs. The two wolf face sketches were explorations for the box.

The above 2 pages are all sketches for the box, with the second page being thumbnails of the 3 options I have settled on so far. 

I want the colour theme to echo the colour of the brushes, and since the brushes will be black and red, I am keen to have some element of the artwork be red, and am hoping the box can be black, but that is something I need to check with the company to be sure it's possible. 

I will be discussing the designs on stream and hopefully settling on one and starting the work on the actually painting. :)
I hope those of you who can will pop by to say hi, it would be such a delight to have you! 

Thank you for reading,
Have a wonderful day,
