Sketchbook | Joshua Chennault

[frownhub]

Lurked here for a number of years, but finally decided to actually join the community. A bit about me, I'm a graphic designer & illustrator, and I am currently looking to expand on my illustration skills. I work solely in vectors (paper & pencil sketches...sometimes), and I like charming characters, hamburgers, Marvel, and history.

Anywho, on to the art. I'll post a few things here for a taste, but you find more stuff on my portfolio in my bio.

@frownhub Hi Josh! Your work is so great! You should share your instagram with us too! (I already looked and the little party dino is soooo cute)

[keithryanstudio]

Excellent work.

[frownhub]

@carlianne Thanks. I got social links in my signature now, so anyone that wants to take a peak is welcome to it.

[keithryanstudio]

@frownhub nice, I haven't figured out how to add mine to my signature yet. Thought I had it

[carlianne]

@keithryanstudio I see it in your signature

[keithryanstudio]

@carlianne yes, thanks! I found the setting and updated it

WIP - Standoff

Just a quick progress shot. Like where it's heading, not sold on the color scheme yet, still toying with that. One of these days I should show how I make these pieces, from sketch, to building blocks, to final.

[frownhub]

Decent stopping point on this one right now. Might come back to it a bit later to add some more bits and bobs but I'm pretty happy with it at this point.

[Cole Rts]

These are awesome illustrations! I love the flat cartoon-y style. The colors are all very diverse but still work well together.

[Larue]

Great graphic design, I 'm lovin your whistling waitress, like Wallace goes 2D!

[frownhub]

Going to be working on this little gal next. Simple sketch.

[DaveLeekArt]

Man! These are fantastic! I love your style. It reminds me of a show my kids and I watch sometimes, Hey Duggee. Very simple yet elegant. You mentioned working with vectors.. this is something I want to learn so I can scale some of my work but I’m not sure where to start. Any suggestions? I downloaded Vectornator but that’s about as far as I’ve made it haha.

[frownhub]

@DaveLeekArt Vectornator could be fine. Though I've never tried it, I'm always a fan of competition for Adobe software.

I personally use Affinity Designer, but it has it's own problems (especially bugs that crop up with updates that aren't solved for sometimes months). Affinity products are buy to own and they go on sale for half off a few times a year.

I used to recommend Gravit; however, it has gone the yearly subscription route for full features which I dislike.

[DaveLeekArt]

@frownhub thanks a lot. I’ll check out Affinity and start learning the ropes.
