"May" after Day 2 & in shitty lighting:
I'm comfy with her face now but her left foot is pissing me off. There's been at least 3 revisions of it today.
The scissors almost look real on this photo. That's pretty badass.
The scalpel will get some detail work to change it from a butter knife to a scalpel.
I gave her a cigarette this a.m. She deserved it. Going all night with a receded hair line and no face.
There's a lot of Disney & Archer influence coming through, I think.
Or I could just be full of shit.
I confess: this is the first time I've drawn/painted a full human figure and its cool to see it come through the way I see it in my head. That's always been kind of a frustration point.
Also learned today, hands are difficult. There were probably about 2 or 3 attempts at a sketch for that where the smudges are on the "floor" under the cooler. Will be practicing over the next couple of days.

I like it!
But stop fighting the norm and make her hand what it is!
A sawed off shotgun :)
May doesn't use guns. duh.
And I like her cigarette holding hand.
Its Adam's hand I'm having trouble with.
this is cool - do you entertain artistic suggestions/challenges?
always up for a challenge!
I was just thinking of how you and I got into a heated discussion yet we've never met - I'll bet the same is true for a number of people on facebook, blogs, etc.
We form our opinions of people based on some profile info, a couple posts and some random photos. I often wonder how close MY version is compared to the real person.
I have no artistic skills at all (aside from my beat poetry) but I think it'd be cool to draw people I barely know in a fictional setting based solely on the opinion I've formed with very little actual info.
But, like I said, I have the artistic skills of an ape, and, since you and Matt dig art/comics/graphic novels/etc. I thought it'd be cool to see your take.
That's a pretty awesome idea, JD.
Definitely one to think more on.
You're right, it does happen a lot on the internets when folks are passionate & everyone's got different views on things. If we all agreed on everything, we'd be pretty fuckin' boring.
I think you're just fishing to be a subject for a painting. ;)
ok, but I don't do nudes anymore.
that's where "artistic license" comes in handy.
mine's been revoked
I love this idea!
