Here is another Work In Progress. I've started to do a weekly "sketch" or illustration-- in tandem with an artist friend of mine. I follow topics or suggestions of his, if I can't think of anything on my own.... So here was last week's.
The second time around, I would rather have made her coquettish and innocent looking., especially as the marionette idea took off on me. I'd also like to steer from the line drawing, but wanted to keep it "ink"-like this time around...
The Joker really doesn't resemble my idea of the Joker, yet. It screams "me" and my style... But here it is in it's progress and everything but Harley is still rough and incomplete to the present date...
"The Joker Made Her Do It" by Lisa Marie Erickson
It's based off of the ongoing question as to whether or not the Joker really loves Harley. I'd really like to finish this one day because I like the idea so much... but it's only one sketch a week, which, for me, sometimes turns into a full blown illustration.... ;-)
And it was just supposed to be a quick sketch of Harley.
I went slightly anatomy crazy-- just to see if I could manage it. And I'm okay with it for the most part. Although extreme, it seems like the muscles groups are working together.
The following week was Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Again, a rough draft, or a 'dirty' clean-up. I didn't have too much time on my hands. I'd say this was about two hours of investment maybe...
Still looking to get rid of the ink, and work with just color at some point. Below in just a basic flat wash of colors...
My best digital character piece to date is
SIDNEY. I spent an evening on that one... That's would be one type of the final look I'd aim for if I had more time. But the whole point of this sketch challenge is to get inspired and to get faster.
Anyways.... I have a bunch of stuff I'm working on. Some 2D / Some 3D.
And I have another traditional illustration to post up here along with "Mighty Muffin Bandits".
So, check back soon.
