Artist's Comments

After not drawing for a while, I'm getting my muse back.
So I'm starting with something quick/experimental.
5 pastel pencils, A4 black heavy paper, and a reference picture of Hugh Laurie :)

Hell to take a picture of, especially since I already shoved it in a protective plastic sleeve to prevent smudging.
(had the drawing board on my lap, cat wanted to join me and only mid-leap noticed the board...landed somewhere on HL's nose.)
the colors are a bit less neon and a bit more together IRL.
See [link] for the wip with reasonable color resemblance.
10 hours, 5 pastel pencils (white/black/l.blue/d. blue/ d. purple), on black A4 230g paper.

Now I'll start on my first art trade.

Niet alleen de fullview doet het niet, ik kan het hele ding niet vinden in mijn Gallery!
Wou je van JL trouwens zoiets, of gewoon grafiet?

Wow, dankje!! Ik heb je journal nog niet bekeken :blush: . Staat vast wel in het lijstje.

ah daar heeft dA wel eerder last van gehad, komt wel goed :)

Wat je van JL maakt is helemaal aan jou. Ik vind je werk toch sowieso prachtig :hug:

die journal heb ik 3 dagen gedelen gepost, geloof ik? :) maakt niet uit hoor. Ik hoop dat je wat meer comments e.d. hebt gekregen de laatste paar dagen!

Thank you!! I'm just relieved no one has compared this one to whatever the name of that blue cartoon hero is :D

Nicely detailed and colored. I really like the form and expression. Well illustrated.
