I´m in a way better mood about the portrait drawing today.
This is what I got so far for today.
Step 1
Part 2 in progress
and finished part 2 with a lot of mistakes but that´s
the best I can do at the moment

I would like to color it now but I´m not at that part of the course
yet :smiley: I´ll probably watch the lessons now and see what I did wrong



Can’t remember if I shared this here or not. Nigel wearing something other than his uniform for once, he’d almost look nice if it weren’t for the stupid big hat I’m forcing him to wear.

@llobucervallince I love a no-spark (fire) demon! It comes across in spades!

@Kelheor welcome back! Can’t wait to see what you come up with during your “chimp_handed” recovery phase 🤣 :heart::see_no_evil:!

@allenT love the backstory (and, naturally, the drawing is A+++). Brige can join my team anytime

@KevinReijnders smoooooooooch

So I got a weekly contributor spot on CBR’s “Line is Drawn” column! I think I found a balance between my comic, the new gig, and life. This week I did Webby and Rapunzel (in their respective styles) in spider-sonas. I’m not used to drawing NO outlines on a character, so Rapunzel was a fun challenge.

I’ve gone even further and named a character with a compass head Weston :smirk:
it appears both Weston and Chester had very creative mothers. (Who are both canonically dead of course)

I’ve never considered it, but this is indeed a possibility. He was captured by pirates at a young age, so maybe he had siblings before then…

Step 1 of today´s portrait drawing.
The 1st step is always tracing to locate the facial features and the
placement for the guidelines. I made the cranium too big, not sure
because it´s covered with hair. The right one is the before picture,
the left one is the one with the righ cranium (imo) size.

Next thing I´ll do is the free hand.

I don´t know why but after complaining 2 days ago I´m really
confident and happy about drawing again. Maybe it has to
do with not drinking alcohol since 4 weeks and that my body
is getting into recovering status

I added the freehand, I will clean that up later and check mistakes

I added the cleaned up version, the next thing will be the facial features



If Rip was a human...he'd look like the most generic shonen protagonist ever xD

Test printing the homie this week. I re-drew and repainted it so that it was crisper and had more fun shapes in it.

@Calculus_Homework could you please share what brushes you used for the DnD gal? :blusht: more or less at least. I assume it's standard mechanical pencil for the sketch?

@DanielRKM apparently not much xD I put whatever I have into comics hahaha. Damn I need to jump on Pinterest or something, there's nothing but sketches of flying heads on my mind, this gets boring :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Oh wow, that's amazing, congrats! What's a CBR though? A web magazine or something else? :hushed:

@Leethefirst oh wow, that is old. Thanks! :grinning:

Ok we need to update the chara sheets.
It's their original poses, but redrawn? I probably need something better tho.

"You'll be dust by Monday!"

4x6, pens and markers

I take the day off from portrait drawing because I´m tired and did a quick sketch
of this Lucky Luke style cowboy. Sometimes it´s good to take breaks from practice
