First another photo referenced girl. Pencil, colored pencil and paint marker on recycled paper.

And a few that were drawn from life.

I bought some more markers, colored ones this time around. They sure are lots of fun and handy to use.

Here’s a couple of fairly quick caricatures done with them. The first one is of the "Finnish Hasselhoff", Frederik, who’s already a sort of a caricature the way he really is. The original reference was a thumbnail sized photo in a newspaper, but the photo displayed here is a better version borrowed from his website. The man is like 63 (or something) and has a sweatband and a pierced eyebrow (edit: must not forget the mullet!) . Macho, so macho. Phew!

And the second one is of course the President of Finland, Tarja Halonen. Took less than an hour on this one. Frederik took maybe two.

My quick take on Scott’s character, with a girlfriend. Check the link, there are others’ versions too.

I got me some new markers and a decent brush pen. This sketch was inked and shaded (in grayscale) with them and then colored in Photoshop.

Nothing beats roasted squirrel and moonshine. No sir. These are for U16’s CTT activity. The first one is based on Adam Duncan’s sketch. And the second is just a quick color sketch for the next in line. It depicts a girl with a big butt.

Well, here’s another one of these girlie speedpaints - fairly loose one this time around. I liked the lighting and all the reflected light in the reference image.

A caricature of Charles Bukowski’s best known character - or at least the only one that I remember by name.

Or maybe it’s the author himself?

For U16’s Literary Illuminations activity.

Here are a few quick caricatures I’ve done of fellow Stylus members over the past few months. Not really funny ones, but at least couple of them have decent likenesses. But they were fun to do.

Here are the reference images…

…And the caricatures themselves.

 

Check their sites too. In order of appearance. Kiel’s, Jim’s, John’s and Dave’s.

Couple of images for U16’s CTT activity. The first is based on Adam Duncan’s image. Consider this the result of fucking typing a thesis for at least eight hours a day for (almost)couple of weeks.

And my sketch for the next in line… Consider this a preliminary sketch for another project to come.

Bah, I’ve been totally unmotivated to draw for the past week or so. Feels like a much longer time. Oh well, nothing to kick me out of the stupor than being forced to participate to a forum activity.

So here’s a couple for U16’s Character Tag Team activity. First one is based on Gavin Mouldey’s sketch. And the second is my sketch for the next in line.

Pencil sketches! Watercolor paintings! Photoreferenced nudists! In the order they were created!

I think I could get the hang of this watercolor stuff with some more practice. Fun, except when the results turn out bad, hahhah. Or when you’re trying to get a decent scans of them…

I was doing some digital doodling and it occurred to me I could do some fan art of Jed McGowan’s awesome “Ritual of the Savage” comic that he’s been working on lately.

Even though my pinup is pretty ironic take on Jed’s comic - which itself is quite ironic - it doesn’t appear all that ironic, which in turn is sort of ironic.

What? Oh. I’ll shut up now. First the pinup, then the doodles.

Don’t let my sad image scare you off, go read the comic.

I did this for U16’s CTT activity after Nicholas Liaw’s sketch. Here’s what he says about the character:

Psychologist Dr. Alice Anderson has always been empathic, able to perceive the slightest changes in her patients. However, a terrible accident caused her to lose the ability to feel emotion. Instead, she gained the ability to modulate the neurotransmitters of other people; the control over emotion, pleasure, pain, and even death itself.

Here’s she is, instilling guilt without feeling any.
