So November last year I got a graphics tablet to plug into my laptop, and lately I've been trying out some more experiments on it. Here are the ones from the past month or 2
First up, my take on Mark Ruffalo's Hulk. I absolutely LOVED The Avengers movie, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/ The Hulk absolutely blew me away, and I had to take a crack at drawing him. I sketched out the outline first using the "pen" tool, and then used the "airbrush" tool to colour it. This is still a work in progress, and has a long way to go, but I'm pretty pleased with it so far, and there's a definite sense of realism to the face. Good likeness when compared to the reference too.

Next up, Raphael of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame. With the comic reboot, and the upcoming tv and movie reboots, the Turtles have a pretty high profile at the moment, and have piqued my interest, and I've fancied having a go at drawing one. No reference at all here, and I have to say, I'm reasonably pleased. This is my first attempt at drawing one of the Turtles, and it's not bad at all. In certain areas the tone looks a bit unfinished, but there are some real areas of strength here, particular the torso.
Finally, today's effort, Jake The Dog from the cartoon Adventure Time. A friend of my described the show to me as "Spongebob on crack", so I had to take a look at it, and needless to say he was right. Saying that, I absolutely love how stupid it is, and Jake The Dog cracks me up, so I wanted to have a go at doing a piece of him. This was a pretty quick piece, and initially started out as just a joke, and an experimentation with the brush tool, but I wound up really enjoying it. Once I'd finished with the brush tool (which made me realise I don't have such a steady hand) it looked a bit flat, so I decided to add some tone in using the airbrush tool. The shine on the mouth has come out real nice, as has the nose. I may think about experimenting with the brush tool (and airbrushing at the end) in some more in later pieces.
