Miki Proportions - WIP

Mikayla

Bic Mechanical Pencil

Tonight I am doing a lot of work on getting Mikayla's proportions right. The above doodle (picture brought to you from my cell phone) is just one of many. For this particular one I used a picture of Margaret O'Brien as a reference. From this one I was able to stand Mikayla upright with the same proportions and then move her into different poses like a little doll. 

I find it weirdly easier to work with proportions if the original pose is not dead on.

Summer Sketch Book Highlights #1

I have not been working on many complete or serious pieces lately, but I am trying to update once a week. As such, this week is all sketches.


The above are work doodles, all from the Potter-verse RP. Silly stuff. Pencil. No date.

Non-Potter Ryan and Toby having a moment of cute that does not involve glaring.
I'm as surprised as anyone. Pencil. July 3rd.

A whole page of Potter-verse Ryan doing her thing. Pencil. July 8th.

As always, these drawings are (c) Bombshellcat Studio/Colleen Rauch 2010. Please do not use without permission.

Sketch Book Highlights Spring 2010, Part One

This ^ is not from a sketch book. These are "work doodles" on scraps of recycled paper. I wanted to share them because I think they are very silly looking. Below are some of the sketches from my actual sketch book:

Mikayla and Bosie.
Drawn in pen on April 16th.

Charlotte and James Cole.
(Alternate universe Ryan and Tobias)
Pencil. April 20th.

Mikayla says "HELLO"
Pen. April 20th

I really don't like putting that big old watermark on my tiny sketches. STILL: all images here belong to ME (as in (c) Bombshellcat Studio/Colleen Rauch 2010) so please do not use any of these images without permission.
