more character sketches (SGA)

[astridv]

A few more character sketches... Rodney, Teyla, Zelenka, Ford, Weir. Plus I did a couple more of Sheppard. Because he's pretty, I'm shallow, and he makes the most interesting faces. :)

Rodney is really darn hard to draw, in spite of his distinctive features. I wanted to do one of him in his "Yay I just figured out this bit of Ancient technology!" mode, but I just couldn't get it right (yet, hrmpf). Maybe it's because the man never shuts up and is always gesticulating, and it's tricky to capture that energy on paper. *ponders*

Anyway, next thing I'll probably try my hand at a couple of scenes. I'd like to do a comic in this fandom eventually, but I don't have anything concrete yet, only a few vague ideas. But I have pictures in my head that want out. (I missed that feeling...)

Love the Aiden and Rodney one !

With what do you do your sketchs ? (computer or pens ?)

Ah. I use a Zebra brush pen (that pen is the ideal alternative if you don't like to ink with real brushes, because the line is very easy to control). For larger areas I use the Copic marker that comes with a brush tip on one side. And for finer lines, I use Copic multiliners. Plus, process white and ink pen for the white highlights, and to fix stuff.
