Sketches
I'm doing a public post for once, so the potential Friends (or scary stalkers... that still don't comment) are reassured that I am alive. :)
I'm late submitting the commission, but it's not a big deal. I just wanted to meet a deadline for once. Ha. Ha ha. I'm not posting what's done so far, though. Supersticious reasons. The bloody thing will catch on fire in the scanner, I'm sure. But I make strange decisions. For the piece, I decided to learn from scratch how to colour with Copic Markers and also how to properly ink using nibs and brushes. I mean, really. That's the stuff to do when time is not of the essence.
Here are some recent sketches that have been done as warm ups. I'm thinking I should finish them.
The cop picture's in non-repographic blue (I had to change it a bit so it was all vaguely visible). He's stolen a sweet from a little kid. Said little kid is very hard to draw, and the third picture is me figuring him out. The angle's a bitch. I hate that angle. I never really draw that angle, and you can see why. But they're all very quick testers. I think I'll finish the cop (&boy) picture and post it.
First picture shows my progres with the markers and the new inking. So close, yet so far. D:
ETA: The Russian adverts on Livejournal make me laugh. I enabled them. Also, there are many more features for the Russian speakers! ZOMG. Statistics etc. Oooo. Maybe they actually mentioned that in the news messages, but I don't read them. Because they're boring.
ETA 2: But seriously. What do kids look like? Children are impossible to draw. I know they have HUGE heads and short stumpy limbs and puppy fat... generally, but... is that enough? No, the drawing ends up depicting a fat midget. Like, seriously. What the fuck.
