Hermione , Ron & Hagrid.....
Here are a couple more Potter sketches I did last night.. Kinda missed the mark on them.. But thought I'd post them anyway.. I took 2 stabs at Ron.. i know he's described as thin in the books.. But I always picture him with a rounder face.. more like his Mum for somereason..... And Hagrid... whew.. I missed that.. He needs much more beard and hair. I don't know why.. But I've been drawing these really small with a tiny leaded techincal pencil... My scans are about 300% the real size... Man.. I messed the eys up on every one of these.. well... At least I'm consistant =).. I'll try to revamp the on the weekend and see what happens...
Qui-Gon Jinn...
This one is for Steve.. Who asked for a Qui-Gon drawing.. and for Troy.. Who told me my Qui-Gon's nose was too small.. enjoy..
Harry Potter...
So ... I told myself I was Not going to read the Harry Potter books until after seeing the movies as to keep the plot surprises secret.. I decided this after seeing Return of the King with my wife and her telling me that she had no clue what was going to happen once they stepped into Mt. Doom.. I wanted that same feeling with the Potter movies.. So I figured that I'm far enough ahead movie wise now so i get a set of the Harry Potter books a couple of weeks ago.... I don't think I can hold myself to my promise... I really really love these books.. I'm already into the fourth book and dying to see where Rowling takes the story in Books 5 & 6.. So... so much for seeing those movies before reading the books.. oh well..
My favorite so far is Book 3.. Same with the movies.. Something about the Azkaban story just gripped me. And Remus Lupin and Sirius Black are my favorite characters so far... I've never really been one to draw fan art from books I've read.. Don't know why.. It'd make perfect sense if I did given my career and all.. But it never really happened.. except for Lord of the Rings... But even that was just some head sketches of Aragorn , Boromir, and Theodan.. But there are a couple of sc's in Prizoner of Azkaban that are screaming for me to draw.. So I took a couple of minutes last night and sketched out some head shots of some of the characters.. Pretty close to what I saw in my head.. Except for Snape.. He's still not there yet.. And my first drawings of Black just looked like me only scruffier.. hehe..The hard part for me will be the costumes.. As they tell soo much about the characters.. Drawing fabric isn't exactally my strong point.. Hopefully I'll actually take time to draw out a couple of the scene images I seen in my head...
Liam.. and Some guy....
Here's a little quickie sketch I did of Liam Nesson to kill a horrible brush pen I have.. It almost worked. A couple more drawings and it'll be out of my life forever!! Nasty drawing though... The other drawing is something I doodled up while waiting for the scanner to do it's thang.. I need to draw more. Or maybe just better.... hmm.. probably both.....
Horrible Tom Cruise Drawings....
Well.. I've been pretty sick lately.. Monday and Tuesday were horrible.. I feel I need to post something.. And these are the only things I've drawn since my last post.. Sad isn't it.. The bottom one was a quick sketch in flash on a break yesterday.. and I had referance for it.. so I have no excuses.. the top one was a quick doodle I did at home to try out a brush pen that was on my desk.. I had no ref for that.. And I actually like it better.. April says it looks like Tom Cruise , Tommy Lee Jones , and Mr. Spock's love child.. I agree.. The three of them really should get together and create some offspring.. I mean look at the sexy results... rrrrroooooowwwwwr. I dunno.. If I try a few more attempts I might actually get something decent.. My first attempts are alway pretty far off base..... Have a good easter weekend everybody..... That means both of you...;)..
Caricatures....
Found some really sweet caricature blogs last night.. Some of them had photos of the people they caricatured next to the end drawing.. They were pretty awesome.. I drew of couple of the models myself.. Nowhere near the caricaturing ability of the people who's blogs i was visiting.. They were good.. Very inspirational. Check out their sites..

This is the place that I got my photo referance for these drawings.. See if you can spot them.. and then look at what an amazing job he did with them. Mind blowing.. Mine pale sadly in comparison.. they look tame...

Why I'm going to hell..
So..... I've been forced to draw garfield at work.... Don't ask..... But my drawings had to look like the cg model for the second movie.. Not the normal cartoon Garfield... Again.. don't ask... But here are some of my roughs that did and didn't make it into the final mix of what we're doing.. I feel there's a special spot in artists hell for me because of this.. and Troy too.. Don't deny your involvement Troy!! They made me feel dirty.... oh soo dirty. Especially the air guitar one.. Man... I've hit a new low.....
