Final sketch for now
Sunday, May 22, 2011

Phew! Just finished the last of my series of Firefly portraits. They started out as a test after I read the comic "Serenity - Those Left Behind". I wasn't very impressed with the graphics or the way it was told to be honest and wanted to see how hard it was to draw the characters myself. So I started by tracing some photographs and realized that it was much harder to make the characters look like themselves than I thought it would be. It was impossible with just outlines - I needed some kind of shading to get them look somewhat ok. And yes I know, traced sketches is a big no no in some artistic circles but for me it's a start and a good way of getting to know the faces of the characters Firefly. After some intial tests I started to have fun. A lot of fun actually. Thank you all for having patience with me and my sketches - it's been a great ride :)

Thank you! You made my day with your kind comment :) I am thinking that I want to make the sketches into posters or pulp fiction covers at some point. That is all very vague at the moment but hopefully it will be something cool in the end :)
