Quick Colour: My City

#Edmonton #Alberta 

Sketches: Ghost and Shadow Hunters

Updated sketch pages collecting all of my recent Supernatural sketch studies to include Castiel, and the actors playing the Mortal Instruments characters in the upcoming City of Bones movie to include Lily Collins!

And another stray Winchester of course.

Sketch: The Winchester Bros

And a Castiel- "Dean, it's not funny, the voice says I'm almost out of minutes."

I drew these quick while we were catching up on Season 7. I'd like to think I'm getting okay at caricature-ing them, but I'm just going to keep on practicing! Also a quick interpretation of their differing body-types.

Sam's sideburns are characters of their own, I will say. 

Sketch: Shadowhunter Art Lessons

 

Older!Clary with Julian, two artist Shadowhunters. 

I imagine older Clary would teach some art classes when she can manage it. Using one of Jace's old t-shirts as a smock. And Julian, our aspiring artist listening to what tips she has to offer in this life drawing class. 

Clary's face gave me so many problems, and I'm still not satisfied, but there's only so many times you can erase. I may do another pass at the idea later.

Sketch: Julian Blackthorn

WIP sketch of Julian Blackthorn from The Dark Artifices Series that... doesn't exist yet! With what little info available, I imagine him being as adept at wielding a paintbrush as well as a seraph blade. Will be coloured soon!

Sketches: Browder and Ackles

Sketches of Ben Browder and Jensen Ackles respectively (Ackles is below the line) to do some studies of their faces. One of our protagonists in The Refuge has a look that's been decided to be a combination of these two, hence my notes on facial construction.

How odd would it be to say these things you notice to the people you notice them? As an artist it's just something you see, but I don't think the person would be so comfortable.

I need to practice my Ackles more, I think. But my Browder is looking okay, which is good because there is a Farscape picture I'd like to do...

Sketch: Ookami The DJ

Since the last upload was a RE upload, here's a new one! A semi-realistic pen sketch of the male protagonist in "The Refuge" named "Ookami". He's popped up many times before, and this is certainly not the last time you'll see him. At least this time Alex isn't teasing him!

I'd like to do a series of these, I think! It'd be fun. 

Tell me, how old do you think he looks here? I'm curious.

Sketches: RE Herondale and Blackthorn

As promised, the full page of sketches for mister Blackthorn and Herondale, respectively.
Full body sketches soon!

Sketches: Blackthorn and Herondale

Sketches for an image I have planned just for fun. Julian Blackthorn (or my version based off of what little we know of him) from the upcoming "Dark Artifices" series by Cassandra Clare, and Will Herondale from the current "Infernal Devices" series.

Julian is pure design speculation, but I'm happy with these first passes. That hair was a real pain to get ride and there are many more sketches on the page (and many more to come) that I will scan fully later. (I may decide to edit out the rest of my design notes - I can get pretty hard on myself!)

Will I already had a rough design for him first based off of Street Angel's interpretation, but I'd like to think I've made a few noticeable tweaks since then! Especially since my concept for Jace is pretty solid and the two have that relative connection. I may thin out that jaw line a teeny bit but otherwise, this fella is good to go.
But anyway, Will just knows how beautiful he is, being a Herondale and all.

Mortal Instruments Cast Sketches

Part one?

Godfrey (playing Magnus Bane) and Kevin (playing Alec Lightwood) both had birthdays in September, and I thought it'd be fun to do a sketch for each cast memember as they had their birthday.

Kevin's is somewhere below in the blog, and not really all that satisfying. This sketch I like better! Although there's something I know I missed because it doesn't quite *look* like him still... 

All things considered though, the fact I did these at all blows my mind a little. I wonder what past me would think.

Jemima (Who plays Isabelle Lightwood) I'm pretty pleased with, on the other hand. Although I don't know when her birthday is. :)

These were drawn up using photos picked at random from Google with very minor tweaks on my part. Mostly minute alterations to expressions.

Many Faces

Just some older sketch pages today. Playing with face shapes and studies for "The Refuge" and some of the antagonists in the story. A lot of the designs have evolved further still from this point (earlier this year!) so I don't mind posting these.

Oh, also Handsome Squidward.

Winning Love by Daylight

The two leading characters of "The Refuge" dressed as Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. While I think I'll take another pass on the idea, I still liked this sketch, and I didn't want to just post it without some colour!

Kevin Zegers as Alec Lightwood

Self explanitory! Sept 19th was Kevin Zeger's birthday, and he plays Alec Lightwood in the upcoming City of Bones movie! I did this to celebrate. I think this is the 8th revision!
