This is the longest I've ever spent on a drawing.


It took me 4 hours.


If anyone cares, here was an earlier attempt I made before Spring Break.


I think I found the reference image on Tumblr, but, as usual, have no idea where I got it. I just have this loose leaf piece of paper in my bag. I don't know where I got it. I don't even remember printing it.

I learned a lot from this. How to effectively see the shapes and values, etc. Now I really want to cut down my time, shorten the amount of time it takes to see these things and implement them. Something else I noticed was how awful everything was until the endgame. Awful might actually be too strong a word. But once I hit a certain point and all the stuff was in the right place, I just waded in there and jammed the place full of nitty gritty details without any fear. It was kind of a weird feeling- And one I want to experience again soon. It was awesome to push through something hard and have a really fun time finishing it up.

One step closer to a finished product?

Okay, now I'm going to class.

  1. I'm totally terrified of this drawing but SO proud of you!!! I feel like we need to drink a little champagne (Martinelli's) next time we're together to celebrate the sketch you've spent the most time on! This was kind of a big deal for you. Nice work Zaggery Binks!

  3. Nice job but as I look at this drawing again, I am kind of scared for the poor guy dripping fluids from various orifices!
