Week 4 02/21/10 - 02/27/10

 

Some people would have me believe I'm doing well enough on my own. But I knew better. Just an hour watching videos on The Basics, and I managed a pretty decent eye. So pffffft!

Week 3 02/14/10 - 02/20/10 - LATE :(

But better late than never.
First up, another Howl drawing, this time it's Sophie with her hats, still not quite over that book yet.

Then a cat I drew which was inspired by a dream I had in which I held the strangely re-animated skin of my missing cat ender. It was a sad dream that made me cry, but my sister was completely creeped out by the Reanimated Empty Cat as we decided to call it.

Week 2 Cont....

What a prolific week.
I was watching Roseanne, cause that show kicks every other family sitcom show's ass without even trying, and I was struck suddenly by how great looking the character Mark is. I can't ever get over the fact that he played trailer trash on the show, but I swear if someone had cast him in an Elizabethan era film... well it would have worked. It made me curious where the man's career went after the show. And I learned that he had died in 2002 of a heroin overdose.
I decided to try my hand at drawing him, using a reference of course.

Week 2 Cont...

I have been reading Howl's Moving Castle, and it's been on my mind a lot lately, so I drew this. In the book, Howl's Castle is described as very tall, very thin, and very black. Quite a difference between the description and what we see in the movie version, I decided to try and draw it according to the description. Including the 4 turrets.

Done in PS CS4
