Art: See, I don't really HATE Paul
Not much to say here except for the fact that I really probably should not have spent my entire evening doing this. But the urge hit me and the drawing just happened, so what can I do? I'm a slave to my creative whims.
Title: And they're having a lovely time!
Fandom: The Beatles
Character: The red-nosed wizard McCartney
Notes: When I started, I was going to draw Paul frolicking right off a cliff like something out of 300 because I was feeling bizarre. Somehow this happened instead. (Maybe my Inner John told me it was time to take a break from picking on Macca for an evening.)
I also tried a digital inking technique. I've never inked anything in Photoshop before... I don't exactly know any good methods other than just tracing over your own line work with the paintbrush... but I'm much steadier with my own hand so I never do that. But I tried the pen tool out this time and... I'm not sure if I like it in general, but I think it suits this particular art very well.
Here's also a close-up of Paul's face (all my scan files start out huge when I begin work) so you can get a better look at the lines. I'm really curious for feedback on this... do the lines make the drawing look any livelier/cleaner/anything compared to say... my usual non-digital inking tendencies?
And no, I don't know if I'll be doing the other three. Maybe. I'm not going to commit.
