What I Drew Sunday – January 28th

Here are the top 3 liked pieces from Sunday’s session of “What Shall I Draw Today?”

#1 – Veronica Mars Teams Up with Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. Gang: suggestion by @alltookayleigh

#2 – Catwoman: suggestion by @bhagyashree.l

#3 – Young Balthazar Bratt (Despicable Me 3): suggestion by @lindsocolo

Oddly, perhaps, not one of the eleven pieces selected to be draw were Disney characters (not including Indiana Jones). This was not planned on my part. However, there’s always something interesting about the challenge of drawing something new. This contrasts with the results from the last held session in September where the top 3 were Disney characters.

When you’re trying to knock out as many drawings as you can in eight-hours, your tend to go with the first thing that pops into your head. Case in point, who should Veronica Mars unmask? Kristen Bells’s The Good Place co-star Ted Danson circa 2004 with mussed hair.

It was artist’s choice with which version of Catwoman to draw. As it landed as the second most-liked piece, maybe Michelle Pfeiffer’s version from Batman Returns was a wise choice.

There were also plenty of things which were introductions to me. Balthazar Bratt was one of those things having not seen Despicable Me 3. For another example, I’m not familiar with most video game characters, so with the suggestion to draw any character from Chrono Trigger, I went with the ponytail blond with the crossbow, Marle, because she looked interesting running abound with a crossbow.

I added a hastily fashioned WSIDT button to visually identify the pieces drawn during the session. It work like a charm because as an in-situ addition it doesn’t alter the artwork and it doesn’t depend upon digital photo editing, because who needs that added step? I will probably fashion something a bit bigger for next time, though.

And here is the whole set of 11 pieces drawn that Sunday:

All of these drawings are going into the hopper of original art for sale that I tote to my comic convention appearances. Next con TBA.

Thank you to everyone to pitches drawing suggestions. "Leftover" ideas may yet pop up on @monstergram7 in the next few weeks before the next WSIDT session in February.
