So. Little time for drawing lately and I've spent next to none of what I have doing costumes. Thought I'd do a post with some personal projects, sketches, and half-done illustrations for the hell of it. For those interested, it'll probably give you a bit of insight into how I draw.
Rowan - Rowan and the Spider
Almost finished panel for pg.2 of Rowan. Her hair is the most painful thing to cel-shade ever. I spent 3 hours drawing with friends at a cafe last night and spent most of it (the parts I wasn't laughing so hard I had to put down my pen) working on her hair.
I did most of this in about 2 days after class and haven't had time to pick it back up. I really don't like how much white Adrian puts on a page (not a big fan of lots of white). He's so awkward in that sense. Mostly another colour/light experiment (which I do love on the other hand). I need to fix his jaw. It looks far too like Robert Pattinson's.
Clearly this is half done; I only properly shaded his face, everything else is just blocked. I really like Rodrigo, but he's only scheduled to be in All Hail for a couple of chapters. I draw him from time to time just for the hell of it.
She makes a come back from the first post! The other day I decided to do a series of sketches for all the layers of her clothing (knickers to normal clothes to armour). There's another 2 that need to be done. The first is just binding and shorts; second, under-armour (leather and wool) for battle; third, house clothes. I've slightly altered her design again. After doing the line up last year I realized that the current design stuck out from the overall direction. Now her hair is in a side braid, neckline is a straight slit, and her pants are extended with a cute slit hem at the ankle. As always, missing her left arm. It makes her so lopsided!
Done for laughs (mine) while at coffee with friends (on the back of a tray sheet). The first and third are "Anime Amelia", larger boobs, more skin showing, cybernetic arm, long flowing hair, and a rounder face (younger too!), etc. Second is a poorly executed "American Mainstream Amelia". Why is she a boy? Because, like Marvel or DC would actually have a badass female character missing an arm; all their ladies have become walking sex objects. I have, however, faulted, Man!Amelia would have to be bulkier if he was in a proper America series.
