Description Finally, a decent picture of Frank & Len! This was a hard one to draw for me, mostly because of that guitar and it's weird angle, and holes in the body, and the skull-shaped tuning pegs...and speaking of skulls, anyone else notice that the body of that guitar is actually in the shape of a skull?

Time: 4.5-5~ hrs
Tools: Colored pencils, mechanical pencil, ruler, screenshot reference

Actually, my drawings are smaller than you think! I took a couple of pictures here:

My scanner is a little bigger than the paper I use, it's old too, but I found it at a garage sale for $4!

Catula In reply to GloomyOversoul [2009-01-25 03:41:53 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, for some reason I can't draw big pictures very well. I get all the proportions and details wrong when I draw big pictures. As long as I keep my coloured pencils sharp though, I can do all these tiny details really well!

I love Frank and Len's symbol tattoo t shirt it's really awesome and very funny because on the Smiling Face is on Right side by Frank and on the Frowning Face is on The Left Side by Len so funny

Catula In reply to paullies [2008-12-27 05:54:16 +0000 UTC]

And together it makes a sort of face.

paullies In reply to Catula [2008-12-27 20:47:24 +0000 UTC]

Exactly and this type of face has a pesonality for Frank that he's happy and the other for Len a little bit upset. Frank and Len are the most awesome characters of Gloomsville and i love their own group RIP There was a small commercial episode of Career Day with Frank and Len'' i love how Frank played the guitar by a type sea Fish music Totally Cool

"Big balls of fire!"

Pyrotechnics? My back! That's on a freaking fire!!! Call the firemen!

Nice job dude... Seems you took a long time doing this one .

Catula In reply to fabianmendozap [2008-10-21 06:07:06 +0000 UTC]

Heh, heh...R.I.P. likes to go big or not at all, from what I've seen. No pyrotechnics, just a WALL OF FLAMES! XD

Yep, took me probably five hours or so. For some reason, I draw fire pretty quickly though. It was that guitar that took so long!

Thanks, it sure wasn't an easy picture to make, I'll say that for sure! In fact, I think Frank & Len are probably the most difficult Ruby Gloom characters for me to draw so far.
