Apart from the ear being misaligned I'm pleased with the resemblance.
Sketch-a-Day
Arm 1 /
Part of something larger I might never really get to.
Very quick one /
Happy with the mischievous look on her face.
Went to see Star Trek tonight. That's my excuse for such a quick sketch. Speedy it might have been, I'm satisfied with the results. I should play with that style more maybe?
The movie was good. Better than good; excellent. I have to hand it to J.J. Abrams, he managed to capture what was core to the series and give every character the amount of screen time he deserved. He was threading hallowed ground with this movie and was obviously aware of it through his efforts. Without going into details, the movie manages to retell a story without retelling it.
Also, anyone doubting that Abrams can handle Star Wars needs to see this film. The first act contains a scene that with very little imagination could be transplanted directly into A New Hope and feel right at home there. It almost feels like the man was stretching his muscles to see if he could handle the style properly. To which I say: Nailed it.
As promised /
As I said yesterday, today I have two sketches and an announcement.
First sketch is practice for some work I'm going to be doing soon involving armored super soldiers.
The second is a character from something I wrote. I wonder if my wife will be able to guess who.
The announcement is that starting this coming Monday, I will be taking requests for sketches on Twitter. I'm still sorting out my account but when I do anyone will be able to @reply me a request with #sketch-a-day to send me ideas.
Archive 1 /
Did my sketch but forgot it at work. So instead of nothing, I fished something out of my archives. Enjoy!
Tomorrow: two sketches and an announcement.
Face 2 /
Funny thing about sketching, sometimes you don't end up quite with what you wanted.
... This was supposed to be a ballerina.
Sci-fi fairy /
No plans for this. No inspired origin. Just a doodle.
Zombie 2 and 3 /
I missed yesterday, so here's two sketches in one post. I'm sticking with zombies. Kids love them some zombies these days...
Kinda happy with this one. Looks pretty creepy for something I did so fast.
This one I might revisit when I get time and make into a painting. I'll have to revise the proportions on that arm he's gnawing on. Would definitely work better in colour too.
Zombie 1 /
I had to crop it to hide the hideous job I did on the leg proportions...
Zoey, the adorable Zoanthrope /
I gave two units of platelets and a unit of plasma earlier this evening... So yeah. I'm drawing cute Tyranids now.
Make of that what you will. I make no apologies.
