The Spectacles

One of my  uni assignments - choose any of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories, adapt a part of it including designing the characters. A Tableaux and two pages. We could choose any era we wanted to place the story in so....that's what I wanted to go with. I've drawn comics quite a lot in the past, but never coloured them, so this was kinda fun to do. Character turnarounds were produced too. I never used to do that but hey, it's what they do for animation! :)  

One of the goals was to tell the story well enough without the use of speech bubbles. After going through a few revisions, here it is! (It's only a part of the story, so I chose to do only the early half of it)

More of my fascination with the human head

Oh dear, another headshot! They're very relaxing to do.

CaricaTURES

Sometimes you see someone's face and go 'Gee, he/she has such strong features!'..that's what I thought when I saw Timothy Omundson on Psych - plus he looks a little like Rowan Atkinson don't you think? While sketching them, I had to try really hard not to draw them realistically, in proportion, and instead kept reminding myself...'Exaggerate! Exaggerate! - What features of theirs jump out the most?' Short but fun and interesting experience. Will be doing more of these in between to get a better hang at it.

No more Chuck!

I really hope you can recognize him. And if you don't... aw well. It's Zachary Levi...or you may know him as Chuck Bartowski from the NBC TV series Chuck (that just ended!! D':  hence the want to paint him) or as the voice of Flynn Ryder from Disney's Tangled. and of course I used photo reference for this. Gosh, that first pencil sketch looks so scary, doesn't it? ^^" I will miss all those Chuck x Sarah moments!   :(

A break from the tablet

Tried out a Toner Gray copic marker here. I'm still not used to using them though...kinda messy. I'll just have to keep experimenting.

 

Also, I've been playing around with acrylic painting - learning the basics under the guidance of a Mr. Bob Davies   ;)  Love his videos!
