Compositions
I’ve included a sheet full of composition studies from movies as well as a comp of my own. I made mine rather abstract but it was meant to feel like downtown L.A. or what I could remember of it in my brief visit. Also, yes that is Empire Strikes Back!! Greg Mitchell, Next program…

Sketch Sheets 2
I did these doodles a few days ago at a coffee shop using my trusty ball point pen. One page is just mindless scribbles and the other I was doing some early development for an upcoming short film where a man’s arm is turned to machine! I know what your’e thinking “Yes, Greg we’ve seen…

Stress Relief

I’ve spent the bulk of my practice…

Sketch Sheet 1
I did this using just a ball point pen as I do most of my sketch work. I used to predominately use pencil but then I found myself spending so much time shading that I never really got all my ideas out. Switching to pen allowed me to draw faster and more accurately cause I…

Pocket Sketch Book 1
As soon as I graduated college about a year ago I knew I was sorely behind on my skills artistically to get the jobs I wanted (womp womp). One of my first steps on improving was finding a way to draw more in my day to day so I started carrying around pocket sketch pads…

Interesting Places 3
Another interesting place! I used a lot of the lasso tool. I think I’ll have to find a way to use it more discreetly. Greg Mitchell, Lots to see!
