Aren't I Supposed to be Sewing?
I think so, but instead I've been drawing. I don't think I've drawn anything other than doodles in over a year now. Long ago I had wanted to do a series of portraits of friends as fantasy/sci-fi things. I did a picture of Amber as an elf quite a long time ago on this vein, but then I stalled, because really I didn't have that many friends at the time who would consent to portraits.
Well, now I have more friends, who coincidentally tend to put up more photo galleries on their websites. I'm starting with Kathleen. She has multiple lovely pictures on her site that I can draw from. I wasn't sure what I wanted to make her at first, but after a little browsing of pictures I found this image. I figured it out after that. ~_^
The sketch above is after only a few hours of work. I took the picture with my camera (too lazy to scan), so that's only part of it and the colors are inaccurate to say the least. It's coming together much faster than I expected. There are still multiple issues in the sketch I need to work on, but I'm hopeful that I might get it inked and colored this weekend.
Comments:Neato! I think it's funny my head isn't reflected in the mirror, since I had Brian take pictures of the empty mirror so I could acheive the same effect with Photoshop! I haven't got around to doing it yet. Anyway, good job on the sketch. I like it!Post a Comment
