What I Drew Sunday – February 26th

Without further ado, I present here the top 3 of the 7 things that I was able to draw in the 6 hour Sunday session of “What Shall I Draw Today?”

#1 – Queenie and Jacob from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: suggested by harishasanic.

#2 – Stranger Things kids Lego-fied: suggested by Ryan Sieroty.

#3 – Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman: suggested by salemcattish.

With the “Fantastic Beasts” image, I went with artist’s choice styling it after the work of Al Hirschfeld. When roughing in the characters the silhouettes quickly suggested to me something Hirschfeld. Per Hirschfeld’s tradition, I tried sneaking in some “NINA”s (5 of them) and a nod to J.K. Rowling.

I narrowed down the “Stranger Things cast” suggestion down to the core group of the series’ kids: (L-R) Dustin, Eleven, Mike and Lucas. The flashlights might be Lego accurate, or they might not be, I didn’t slow down to do in-depth research.

Lastly, again by artist’s choice, I chose to stylize Dr. Quinn/ Jane Seymour after Marc Davis’s character designs for Briar Rose/ Princess Aurora in the animated classic, Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.

And here is the whole set of 7 drawings:

The last posted drawing was the tribute to Bill Paxton. Quite a bit of time was spent on the 3 failed depictions of the late actor. I’m still not 100% happy with the final piece. May be I could have done one or two more suggestions otherwise..

All of these are going into my stock of original art for sale at my upcoming comic convention shows. The first for 2017 will by WonderCon at the end of March in the city of Anaheim, CA.


Thank you to  everyone who submitted suggestions. Keep a weather eye open in the next few weeks where I may tap into those suggestions and draw them.

Thank you to everyone for your “likes” and for following.
