My Transgressions

[tealin]

I have been a very, very wicked girl.

I did not draw in my sketchbook last Friday, nor did I do so Monday or Tuesday.

Here's what I did do:


The first page has a diagram of horse anatomy (as best as I can remember it, which is not very well, besides me being terrible at horses) and how it applies to Buckbeak's front legs in the third Harry Potter movie - an anatomical dichotomy that drives me insane whenever I see it.

Page two is a sorry attempt at some Redwall stuff, hampered by, in the first case, not being able to get past my Grade 10 mode of drawing a character (I'm not even going to tell you who that's supposed to be, it's that embarassing), and in the second case, having absolutely no reference at all for an animal I know very little about. The thumbnail's OK, though.



Drew these while waiting for the bus... My sister had drawn a creature that looked kind of like a cat and kind of like a weasel so I thought I'd try some of the things she did to help my weasely ineptitude ... though I think mine ended up looking more like a cat than hers did. And that's kinda sorta ... um ... supposed to be Gonff down there. (You can stop laughing now.)

Started out with Will Stanton (again) ... this may be my favourite. I noticed I'm now much more comfortable drawing human characters than animals, a complete flip from Grade 10. I suppose this is good... Anyway. There are two attempts at The Rider (also from The Dark Is Rising), the first of which looks like a combination between Snape, Sirius, and every anime male ever drawn, but I think I got a little better with the second one. A very frustrating character, he is. Then there's some random guy possibly based on the voice on the radio at that time (whose upper lip smudged when I put the sketchbook on the scanner), and ... hey, who's that crazed imp in the corner?

One possible benefit to getting up this early is that the sky currently looks like a Maxfield Parrish painting.

Yeah, that guy does look like a combination of Snape and Sirius. But it's something about the hair. It's different. It wouldn't fit with either of them. Hmm...

See, now I have like a major insta-crush on the Rider and that's all kinds of wrong. Will is adorable -- have you any Bran sketches?

Don't know about the rider, but I spy Basil of Baker Street up in the first few pages.

And the coffee imp looks like someone spliced Lilo and Stitch, and injected Red Bull into their veins. COOL!

The Dark Rider definately has that Generic Evil Man look about him. The Dark Is Rising is sooo good, by the way. The rooks in the beginning and the tramp always creep me out.

Scanners can be silly things sometimes. Not too long ago I scanned a drawing of a lady in a Phantom of the Opera type dress, and the scanner strategially placed a little dot that looked like a mole on her. I didn't notice it until Bananabasket pointed it out, but it was quite odd.

I thought he was Snape at first. *hee*
I like the imp. And Will. And Gonff. *loves Gonff*
The Rider's pretty cool...now I'm going to start liking him.

Yeah, who IS that imp?
