Grandson portrait

This one was interesting to draw! As always, displaying my Photoshop Takes Zero Skill heavily filtered pic, but I do want to post some WIPs too!

I wanted to try something different for this - I really like the angle and lighting of this shot, but it was too daunting to approach with pencil because it was extremely black heavy, and I don't like having to spend so much pencil lead on paper because it's so tedious, not to mention the graphite goes everywhere and is prone to smudging! So I decided to start my digital canvas black, and worked my way towards white. It kind of worked???

I know, red's kind of default for drawing on black. I did consider doing a hot pink sketch, but decided against it.

Okay so I guess it's still black on white, I didn't actually succeed at the whole white on black project XD

Ugh hair. Tight curls uuuugh. I do still enjoy hair though. It's clothes I hate! I had a hard time trying to figure out how his jacket was made, and then I realised it's a denim jacket with a hoodie, so I had to go back and edit the right side (his left) and then redo the left side (his right) entirely!

I also fudged a lot of the heavy blacks because my phone accentuates the contrast; my monitor is actually a few shades lighter, but I can't be bothered calibrating my monitor because then I can't see anything with the glare in the daytime...

And the rest is history.

I think it's the best digital drawing I've done yet, but that's also because I took out any challenges I had with colour. I still got the face (and so many other things) wrong but hey I like it! Hooray for more progress!

I think I'm done trying to draw digitally for the rest of this year. It's so hard! Also a cropped version without a filter wrecking it just cause.

When will I get better at colour accuracy??? When I can I capture expressions accurately???

Also I still hate doing digital only from scratch, it's too hard!

Photobooth

Loool what have I done!

I was making funny faces during pigeon selfies and decided I should give some of those faces to my characters. I think it's a terrible pic that looks like it was drawn by a child, but I did put effort into three panels so I'm proud of it anyway!

They are so out of character, it's hilarious!

The Singing Towers of Darillium | River Song

Ok so this one was easier and turned out better than the Doctor, I hate myself! But I'm so glad I don't hate this one as much; "real life" women have always been more difficult for me to draw than anime version whereas for men it's the opposite, and this one proves me wrong?

Yay for River Song, though this is such a sad moment!
