Sketchbook 019 - Character Portrait, Stéphane Codron (TWD Daryl Spinoff Series)

avatar

Hi and happy Friday!

Hah, I feel a little bit proud of myself for managing to get to posting today.
Even though it wasn't exactly a productive day, I got quite a bit done planning wise at least. (Before getting sucked into an episode of an animated TV series that I am probably going to be heavily addicted to soon)

Speaking of overly addictive shows...as mentioned in my post from yesterday, during my first flight, when I was stuck in the isle seat, I spent my time drawing. This is what I drew. (I had started it at home but finished it on the plane)

For the sake of everyone who hasn't had the opportunity to watch it yet, I won't say too much, because spoilers are not cool. What I can say is that, this character is from a spin-off series of my all time favourite TV show, The Walking Dead.
In the show (It is the Daryl Dixon spin-off, which is awesome) he is a bad guy, named Stéphane Codron, who is portrayed by the actor Romain Levi.
I enjoyed the show and character very much, which is why I decided to give drawing him a go.

I like to start by drawing messy lines and blobs of shade and shapes, at this stage of drawing I had already spent quite a bit of time on it, but it was a lot messier when I started.

It is usually easiest for me to start on the faces and work my way down, slowly filling in the little details and shades as I go, I was also trying to practice my shading techniques, which still need a lot of work.

And done! Not a lot of process photos, I know, still getting into the habit of taking photos while drawing, hopefully I'll do better next time!

Bonus video...drawing short hair isn't my favourite, think I'll stick to long haired people 😂

Well, that's it for now. Lots more drawings to come in the future.

Till next time!

My new emoji options are weak! Plus they are mismatched. That 'red face' one was supposed to be the ghost! 🏹🏹🏹 At least the bow works! Love it when you include the videos.

Haha that's so friggin weird 😂 But hey, as long as you have a bow, life is okay, right? 😂

I'll make more videos then! They are really fun to make but my recording setup is pretty dodgy. Think I will include a photo of that in a future post. It's so bad, I love it. 👻👻🔫🏹🏹

Haha! Yep as long as I have the bow everything is fine! Pew pew! 🏹

Do it! If it works... then it works... no matter how dodgy it is! 🐇

Well... it mostly works... the phone needs to be balanced right on the edge of this mess.... sometimes it falls on my head 😅😖

🤣 That is dodgy! I wonder if hanging it from the ceiling on a string or chain would work better. Maybe you could use a plant hanger (without the flower pot in it) to act as the phone cradle.

You could maybe use a rubber-band to hold the phone in place with your current setup. 🏹

😅Might be worth a try! Think a proper stand with lights and everything costs about R600/$30 which isn't too bad, just need to post way more, or get a real job. 😂👻

I really like your pen work. This is something I am struggling to do, the hashing and other techniques.

❤️Thank you! All I can say is it gets easier the more you do it 😅 Often run out of art supplies but there's always a pen laying around somewhere.
