Description Took me long enough, but I finally got some Randall fan art posted here! Woo-hoo! 'Tis just a sketch, but I don't believe in putting stuff in the Scraps section, so it's staying here. Thing is, if I had any real use for the Scraps section, then I wouldn't be posting those pieces in a public forum in the first place, now wouldn't I?

Anywho...the main purpose of this sketch was just me trying to figure out my particular drawing style for Randall. I've toyed with a more simplified style before, but I like the balance this latest incarnation strikes between a Disney-esque approach and realism (does a bit more justice to the complexity of Randall's beautiful scale patterns, I hope). It seems to work for now, at least. Being the rabid perfectionist that I am, I could change my mind about that two months from now, LOL.

I'm thinking about doing a color study using this sketch, to see how that works out and if I can finalize a look. We'll see how things go.

Randall Boggs and anything associated with the film Monsters, Inc. is copyrighted to Disney/PIXAR and is owned by the Walt Disney Company.
Done with my trusty Sanford purple-leaded pencil for the underlying sketch, and with a Ticonderoga mechanical pencil for the outline.

That's so cool!!! it's so wonderful to be just a sketch!!
I just love your style, I 've seen a few Randall darwings and those don't look like him, but like someone else!..but yours looks like him, and it's truly spectacular! Mainly by the fact that in spite of having no shading it can be seen REAL, as a model in 3D, not just because his eyes are in 3D, but his hands and your whole body as well. His legs and arms are very well done, all those details in his skin like "small wrinkles" makes it having "material" and it isn't a plane drawing, for example those lines in the eyes.
I just love those little details!, these stripes on his skin are a great detail too!

Cool here, and I just wanted to say- what a brilliant picture! I love everything about it from Randall's stance and neutral expression to his amazingly 3-D eyes. There's a simplicity about it- you haven't used too much unecessary detail, yet you've got just enough to make the picture believable. Great work!

His eyes look 3D? *in surfer-dude voice* Sweeeeeeet...

Thank you! It's good to hear that I achieved what I set out to do with this sketch. And as I believe Ringo Star said in one episode of The Simpsons: "Please excuse the lateness of my reply."
