Just a sketch...
Just a sketch...
Hi all,
Just a quickie layout sketch of a drawing I'm working on. Curious what you think of it.

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is making a much smaller scan.

Re: Just a sketch...
Yeah, you should probably resize that so that it can fit on the screen when someone expands it.
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

Hey, it's you! I see Leela and Amy but, who's the little guy?

Re: Just a sketch...
Yeah, it's me. Glad to bump into you over here. (Just to let you know, I'll have a drawing to submit for the "first thing they see" contest.)
But this one is a request from another DA-ist. The title is "Blind Date". Later today I'll delete this version and post the latest. Hopefully that one will make more sense.

It's obvious Leela's a little surprised at who's turned up.

Amy is just as surprised as Leela. I have the first layer of pastels done, I won't post any other versions until it's finished.

Re: Just a sketch...
Hi there! I'm afraid I have no idea who the blind date is, but it all looks dead cute. Couple of slight problems: the perspective on the doorframe doesn't always match up with the vanishing point, and Leela's left hand looks a bit clawlike (which I'm sure is to do with the sketchiness, so not a big deal). I like your pastel colourings a lot and I'm looking forward to this one.

Re: Just a sketch...
Glad you like the pastels. Thanks, appreciate it. I've corrected the perspective tweaks (i hope), also I moved Amy so all of her is visable. Believe it or not, all I need to finish the drawing is to clean up Leelas hand. Good comments, thanks!

Re: Just a sketch...
Here's a chunk of the finished drawing. Think I have it down to a manageable size this time. D'oh! Let me know what you think. Mike

Re: Just a sketch...
I'm wondering why Leela's hair is magenta instead of purple, but it looks good. Don't see too much fanart with non-digital colors.

Re: Just a sketch...
Neat! I love that nice solid effect you get with the pastels. If you're taking any suggestions at this stage, I think Leela's knees are shaded in a way that makes them look a little too far down the leg, and Amy could use a bit more hair -- the strong highlight on her forehead currently makes it look like her hairline's receding. In any case, it's good to see this stuff over here.

Re: Just a sketch...
The sketch is far too big for me to judge properly. The pastel-coloured one looks pretty great, though I second the suggestions about Leela's legs and Amy's hair. Particularly the latter stands out.
I really like how you've done Leela's hair. Nice outfit, too.

Re: Just a sketch...
Wow, serious comments. I hadn't caught any of those, nice having extra sets of eyes looking this over. I was just having trouble with Amys' mouth and ankle. Consider the drawing tweaked...
Thanks Mike
