A picture of Thompson I’ll never finish…
From one of the few good photographs found on the internet.
Playing with Faces: Last Summer and This
Pay no attention to the diagram you don't understand.
Some practice on youth.
Trying to find my place in crosshatch. The broad strokes are easy, representative, and NOT vague.
The lines are too broad. They ruin the delicate features of the subject.

I still need to take on regular practice.
I'm not worried about over-simplifying the shades and shapes of the model's hair, which I should try to work on in the future, but I am worried about whether I nailed the proportions. I found myself redrawing the same lines and circles in different places fifteen times before ignoring them all to get this product. I'm also, apparently, not confident enough to take on cloth, which may look pretty cool in my experimentation with angles and lines. Whatever.

Steampunk Batman
I started sketching some ideas after reading this:

I don’t really intend on entering, but it sounded fun.
I really love a Cold War rendition of Batman I found somewhere,
and something about Batman + Aviator = super geekout mode… in my head, at least.
Combined the absolutely beautiful shape of a WWII German helmet,
the mysteriously enchanting gasmask and Victorian-Age aviation getup.
I also have a childish tendency to draw stupid looking knives.
If I were more confident in my skill, I’d attempt a full-on character design.
Not much of a self esteem thing, just a face-the-facts scenerio.
The time spent on a design I won’t approve of after hours of tedious research and pencil scratching could be put to better use.
