I like SketchBook Pro very much for the purpose of rough sketching, layouts, storyboarding and generally creating the inital basic artwork which I then later use to import into other programs such as Illustrator, Painter or Photoshop for further coloring or line-art inking.
Sometimes I lay down some color in the sketches/concepts/layouts directly in SketchBook. It has some very useful coloring tools such as the advertising markers and airbrush.

In today’s episode it is only Ashley telling me what to draw as Joanna was out playing with her friends.
We are drawing two things – one a sunny side up egg with a top hat doing a little dance number, and secondly a fuzzy monkey riding a purple flying banana. There were some unexpected interruptions by two- and four-legged friends and neighbors and a parade of characters walked through my studio as we were trying to maintain our usual Fellini-esque production standards, therefore 30 seconds from the middle of the video have been left on the cutting room floor, to safeguard the esteemed viewers sanity.

Wo Wohnt Roger Federer ? Illustration by Ian Marsden
Illustration von Ian Marsden
Wie schnell hätte Usain Bolt im Olympia-Final über 100 Meter laufen können? Wo wohnt Roger Federer? Wer hat Fabian Cancellara den crème-farbenen Anzug aufgeschwatzt den er an den Sports Awards trug? Was ist aus Lindsey Vonns Kuh und Christian Stucki’s Muni geworden?

Bleistiftskizzen der Roboter in meinem Moleskine Skizzenbuch. Preperatory pencil sketches of the robots in my Moleskine sketchbook.
Hier ist die Illustration in Adobe Illustrator bereits ausgelegt. Das Layout wird festgelegt – der rote Rahmen zeigt den Ausschnitt wie die Zeichnung schlussendlich in der NZZ gedruckt werden wird. Die beiden Forscher sind bereits als Linienzeichnung fertig aber die Roboter existieren nur als Scribbles – bis ich mit meinen Bleistiftstudien zufrieden bin. Ich bin ein grosser Fan von Robotern also wollte ich ein paar ganz schöne ‘klassische’ Roboter entwerfen. This is the Layout stage in Adobe Illustrator. The two scientists have completed line-art but aren’t colored yet. The robots are only scribbles – I was waiting for approval from the editors and also still creating pencil sketches of the robots. I am a big fan of robots so I wanted to create some really nice, retro-style robots.
