Sketchbook 3/23/2013: Johnny Depp

I had my 6 month check up today at the Hershey Cancer institute (clean and clear!! By the way) So while I was waiting between appointments I took advantage of the down time to do this sketch of Johnny Depp.

Anyone out the got some pointers on Glasses? The sunglasses were the worst... trying to get the reflective glare down is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

    Nicely done! :D about reflective glare on glasses...they look fine to me! it's a bit long winded but I'll give you the bed crums to start you off on your search for more info but basically it's to do with values(shading) which is normally defined by a grayscale from 0-9/10 0 being black 10 being white. when dealing with reflective surfaces it's about picking relevant or correct value choices. if you squint your vision it compresses these shadow shapes so you can pick out which areas are the darkest and which are the lightest more easier.
    hmm that's about as simple as I can make it. honestly it's hard to tell unless I saw which photo you was drawing from. It looks fine :D

Sketchbook 03.25.13: Disney / JLA mash up

Image
A coworker asked me if I would do a sketch for a young man at her church who is autistic. He recently went through an operation and was having some difficulty. She was hoping to give him something to get his mind off the procedures he was going through. I asked what type of things he liked and she told me he was a huge Disney Fan and Donald Duck was his favorite character. So I started kicking ideas around in my head of what type of drawing to do. I pulled some old animation references for Donald's Facial expressions and remembered how angry He was and just how many funny situations that put him in. He was always yelling incoherently... Don't ask how but some how I pictured Donald in the Christian Bale Batman role. I guess it was his voice or something. One thing led to another and you have Donald "The Duck Night". I wanted to team him up and figured if Donald was Batman... then Mickey had to be Superman. Plus looking at all the old school Mickey reference just...

I picked up a few of the new PrismaColor Brush tip markers I have to say that I'm extremely Happy. I've always sketched with pencil even when I'm planning out an idea for a painting. Then I have to figure out the colors. I did the above sketch all in marker. In much the same way I would have painted it. This one was done on a sketch card 3.5" x 2.5" so it will be a handy reference size. ©TCDART 2013 ** All fan art is copyright to the original creators of the characters.
