Character Sketches - April 21

Karl Savage asked where the Sayid drawing I did was, so here it is, along with a Wolverine sketch. Both of these are from months ago, but I never scanned them in for whatever reason.



And here's today's sketch. Over the past few weeks I've been making my way through Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series on Hulu, which is a science program from the early 80s made to introduce and explain complicated science ideas to laypeople in a way they can understand. I'm a big fan of Sagan, going back to the first time I saw the movie "Contact" in high school, and then went back and read his novel it was based on. I loved the movie but the book is a hundred times better. I then started reading his other books like "Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" and "Billions and Billions," the former of which started me on my journey into skepticism. I consider Carl Sagan a personal hero of mine, and it's a shame he's no longer with us.

So these Daily Character Sketches aren't exactly daily anymore. I underestimated the amount of time it would take to do a sketch like this every day. So I'm going to try for two or three sketches a week now, and do Loomis sketches the rest of the week.

In honor of this week's final episode of what is, in my opinion, the best science fiction show of all time, I've drawn Kara "Starbuck" Thrace of Battlestar Galactica.

A bit of Wolverine for you. I decided to go with the Jim Lee costume since that's the Wolverine I grew up with, but with the John Cassiday boots, because let's be honest, the giant wings on those boots in the 90s were ridiculous.

Now that I've finished the Bridgman book, I'm going to be doing a sketch of one of my favorite characters every day. Today's sketch is Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter series, although this sketch is based more upon Ralph Fiennes' portrayal from the last couple movies.



If you have any suggestions for characters (either of the people that read this blog), leave 'em in the comments section.

Once I finish my Bridgman book (a few more days) I'll be taking a break from drawing out of anatomy books for a while. I'm inspired by Jesse and Rian's sketch blog and have decided to steal the idea: doing a favorite character every day for... well, a month or two, anyway. I thought the idea was so good I wrote down about 40 characters I want to draw and got started on #1: Harry Potter. I messed up the shadows on the face and made him look pudgy, I think, but oh well.
