IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME!
Yeah, I know I didn’t draw his feet.
I’m secretly Rob Liefeld.
Here’s a milestone of sorts.
Somewhat appropriately, Mr. 100 has the crazy eyes. There’s only 900 more to go.
No references were needed or wanted here. I’ve gotten comfortable enough to come up with these from scratch, at least with these familiar angles. Looking back at the previous 94 faces (and my art in general), I can see definite improvement over time. It’s fun to reflect on past work and be able to say that it sucks, because at one point it was the pinnacle of my ability. That’s improvement. Or intense self-loathing. One of the two.
I wanted to do at least one more to break 100 just to prove that I could.
…but I had to do some reading for class, so I guess I actually can’t.
There’s always next year tomorrow.
Because it’s better than nothing, here’s two more faces:
I should really learn how to draw more hairstyles because these are ending up very similar to previous faces.
…At this rate, I can get to 1000 by 2016!
I was eating a hot pie and burnt my tongue.
There’s no way to segue this properly, so here’s some faces:
89 and 90 have wonky noses and mouths. 92 is supposed to be male but I over-emphasized some features and now it looks female.
I’m proud of 91 though. It was the only one that I didn’t actually look at a reference photo for and it turned out the best.
I somehow managed to draw Angelina Jolie, circa Hackers.
I’ve never even watched Hackers.
On second thought, let’s not color that drawing of the chameleon girl. It was a silly endeavor.
Instead, here’s a dog trying to run:
He looked happier in the sketch, when he wasn’t quite as chubby.
No. I’m a liar. It’s the same girl.
I cleaned up some line work, gave her pupils, and re-did the chameleon entirely. Now it actually looks like a chameleon and not like an ugly naked mole rat.
Here’s a preliminary color job, before any shading is done.
Random tidbit: My high school’s colors were orange and blue. I always thought it was a terrible combination but Hollywood seems to like it. Drive, for example, was 50% orange, 50% blue, and 100% Ryan Gosling. My high school mascot was not Ryan Gosling, which is why we didn’t win any Oscars.
Contrary to appearances, this all took me a long time. Mostly because I chose to re-do each part by hand when making color adjustments rather than flatting with the lasso tool beforehand and just paint filling. Because I’m dumb and stubborn.
At least 90% dumb. And 50% orange.
This isn’t rocket science. It’s a girl with a chameleon.
It kind of looks like an ugly rat more than a chameleon though.
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
The mailman.
The mailman who?
Feel free to laugh and validate my sense of humor.
I take my 1000 word account of killing a spider yesterday as indication that my slow descent into insanity has begun.
Anyway, here’s some faces:
The nose on 87 seems crooked. 88 isn’t a very flattering drawing. Her forehead would have to be massive. Any angle where the chin isn’t very defined causes trouble for me.
I must experiment further.
And then write 1000 words on it.
