House Art WIP 7 (only one more to go!)

[tripperfunster]

Okay, we're getting to the end here! Can you tell I am SOOO avoiding doing his hair? urhgg..
I did the beard/scrub. I'll have to see how I like it in the morning.
I have to fix/finish his left (my right) shoulder, and perhaps make his chin a tad rounder, plus darken the shadows on/around his eyes. I'll also go over all the dark areas with a 6b pencil. so far, aside from the original light sketch, that I did with ....an H? I dunno, whatever's light and lying around, the rest is done with a woodless 4b. I find, when the numbers get too high, like 9b, they get too waxy.

But first ... the hair. *shudders* I hate mid-tone semi-curly hair! whaaaaah!

Oh, and that blue line on his hand? That's where my original line art had his chin! bwahaha that would have been a disaster.

You got it , and Mandie said to tell you that this is really doing it for her. This was so interesting (and jealousy provoking), watching this evolve. Is there anything you can't do? And from what you said, you've not been watching the series long, but the hand gesture is so Housian. I really love it, tripp, I just may have to print it off so I can visually self-stimulate admire it while I'm on the router.

Aww, thanks hon! And just so you know, I CANNOT play the guitar. Not even a bit! And not from lack of trying. My short, fat little hooves hands can hold a pencil okay, but they cannot form chords.

My body is ... not fat, but you know, two kids-not skinny, but my hands have always been plump. At least they're good for one thing. (well, more than one thing, really, but that's a whole 'nuther' post!)

As for the hand gesture...I must admit, that it's pretty much exactly a copy of my reference pic. I'll post the ref pic when I post the final drawing. Hopefully tomorrow night, but I dunno. I have to work tomorrow, and I have some ebil bills that need me to go through them and throw them awayorganize them and pay them! *le sigh*
