Oh, and about the annoying "watermarks"-- they're there to make sure no one tries to steal my poor little drawings (hey, this is the Internet and you never know.)



Original drawing 9" x 12" (or 22.8 x 30.4 cm.), brush tip, PITT, and gel pens on heavyweight acid-free paper (done without sketching anything in with pencil first)
Drawn on 3/12/08

The colors actually look a bit more brilliant in the real drawing, but I didn't want to fuss with it too much (outside of some necessary cropping.) Maybe I should have. Oh well.

You can find the reference image I used here: http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii105/r_s_boston/3205_1205088401_large.jpg




Original drawing 8" x 11" (approx. 20 x 28 cm... I think), colored pencils, brush tip, PITT, and gel pens on acid-free paper (also done without any sort of pencil sketch)
Drawn 4/11/08

I really like this one; again, it looks better in real life, and now that I think about it, I should probably have made these higher resolution than I did (oh well. I kept thinking that I should keep them small so they wouldn't tax anyone's Internet connection.) Maybe I can upload some bigger versions tomorrow or something.

And you can look here for the reference image I used: http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii105/r_s_boston/joker_wizardfull.jpg




Original drawing 8" x 11" (or about 20 x 28 cm.), colored pencils, brush tip, PITT, and gel pens and white charcoal pencil on acid-free paper (and yet another attempt without the handy erasable comfort of an initial pencil sketch. It just makes works better for me sometimes.)
Drawn 4/17/08

His face seems a little too chubby to me, but, oh well. I also kinda messed up on the coat but that's besides the point. And the weird "shadow" off to one side on this and most of the other drawings is because they're bound in a hardcover notebook (and I'm too chicken to try and liberate them.)

Blah blah blah, 8" x 11" (20 x 28 cm. or thereabouts), colored pencils, brush tip, PITT, and gel pens, and white charcoal pencil AND drawn in first with mechanical pencil (on acid-free paper)
Done 4/25/08

Yes, his visage looks a little off. By the time I realized just how off it was it was also too late to do anything about it (or save his poor left eye. Although I did try, mind you.) I really dislike how the scanner we own seems to "subdue" colors. Or maybe it's the fact that I had to shrink these down so much to get them to what I thought was a reasonable file/image size. Who knows?

Original size about 7 1/2" x 7" (Around 12 x 12 cm. I'm too lazy to be any more exact than that), brush tip pen sketch on acid-free paper
From 4/26/08

Following my butchering of Heath Ledger's face the previous day I decided to try another go at the same image. I must say I am quite satisfied with the results, even if it's "unfinished" and done on a page with other stuff (that I elected to crop out.)

Same reference image as the last drawing (see above.)




Original work is 8" x 11" (20 x 28 cm.), red colored pencil, brush tip/PITT pen on acid-free paper, no pencil sketch (as usual)
Done on 5/15/08

There should actually be a lot more black and deeper shadows, but my black pens are starting to die on me (you may notice how the drawing is mostly shades of gray-- where it isn't red of course.) You might also notice some distortion on the left side of the picture, where the binding is. Stupid notebook. >.< And how someone didn't bother to try duplicating the weird perspective stuff from the "model" image linked below-- some things are still kind of beyond me. (Maybe a lot of things, actually. Sigh.)

Ack, I'm rambling. Anyway here's the reference pic link: http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii105/r_s_boston/508805266_19509666f9.jpg]




8" x 11", colored pencils, brush tip and gel pens on acid free paper, sans pencil sketch
Done 4/8/08

I got bored one day and drew one of the pictures I have posted on my profile. And although I don't like the movie "Batman Forever" (more like "This Story Drags On Forever And Has No Point") I still like the pictures and my captions beneath them. Hee hee hee. lol

Heh heh, thanks. I love drawing (even if I get very critical of myself sometimes) and I'm always trying to improve my skills at it. Who knows, maybe I'll even make a career out of it someday, lol. At the very least I can have lots of fun as is. 3nodding

(Gives a humble bow and pretends not to gloat) Thank you. biggrin

@ Vampiress_88: Thanks. And don't feel bad if your drawings "aren't very good;" it's taken me years (and lots of practice) to get the level I'm at now and I still have quite a bit of room for improvement. So don't get discouraged. 3nodding

I see. Tokyopop, eh? I'll have to check that out. smile

That would be cool, yeah. Can't wait to see what your stuff looks like. xd
