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...)

Ronon, absolutely!

Awesome. I'll look forward to it.

The Zebra brush pen is the best I've come across so far

I have some sort of brush pen. Not sure what brand. And I last tried inking over a year ago, so maybe I should try again. I just love your lines.

And thanks for the tip on using pencil on matte film. That sounds interesting, too. I appreciate your wordiness -- I lap up every little bit of info/advice I can get.

I think I just have a mental block against giving up gradations of shading, but one of these days I may get over it. ::g::
