Trivial sketches (part 4)
See, I told you I would try to post sketches more often. See? :D
The infamous 25 expression exercise and other stuff from my sketchbook right behind the cut!
I finally decided to do this. Ideally I will do it for every important TT character. But it will sure take some time. XD
I'll ctrl+v the text from DA.
Started doing this some time ago. By the time I was over the half I had the urge to redo it all over again and make it sharper, more cartoony and more expressive but I decided to finish it and then maybe have another take on it later (after I'll run other characters through it, though I have no idea who should be next).
Anyway, that is Keener and his unwashed mop of hair I can never draw consistently!
I'd like to make some notes - at first I wanted to follow all prompts strictly. I patiently went though happy/pleased and sad/bereft (those have slightly different meanings but they are practically the same expression-wise) but I couldn't take it when it came to angry/fierce because those are synonyms AND ANY DICTIONARY COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT. So "fierce" became "worried" which SHOULD be an essential expression.
Also, I'm not sure if "flirty" should be considered an expression at all (to prove my point: pick out any 10 movies, animated and not, where the character asks somebody out and screencap their expression at the moment - you'll get quite a range), and even if it is an expression it's clearly not an essential one. :| At least not as essential as "worried". So that's why instead you get a quote that seemed oddly appropriate for Keener. Who knows, maybe he'll get a Nobel someday too...
Now back to our regular sketch broadcast.
Some stuff regarding Eppur Si Muove:
Ray doesn't really drink coffee, he has a weak stomach. Which probably makes Galileo's appearance even more logical, if you can say "logical" concerning a person dead for about 400 years waving cheerfully from it's portrait. Speaking of which...
It was one of the first sketches, but now I have the urge to draw him more. Haha.
And remember I told that other guy wasn't random? THAT'S BUCKLAND.
His name is C.Buckland, he's from England and he works with the Largest Radio Telescope in North America (I gotta think of a better name, this acronym kind of sucks). He's a reoccurring character and I'm pretty sure he won't show up in the comic for a while but it doesn't stop me from drawing him. Oh, and he isn't being over-dramatic BUT IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
I think McFael should have one of those hats that presumably died out around mid-nineties. Cool!
I just feel like making a detailed picture with graphite pencil sometimes, even though it isn't exactly logical. My illustration teacher hates graphite and all those over-detailed graphite portraits, he says graphite pencil is a tool only for sketching and it should be covered with something else in the end and I got used to this point of view over the years. Maybe that's what makes it so fun for me...
It sure is rainy these days!
I guess that's it. I should really work more on script writing these days, but doing nothing but not-really-sequential pictures is fun for a change. But I'm sure that won't last long.
