What can I say?

Other than "I need to stop drawing boring straight on head shots and use the same shading tricks over and over again", that is... I was just trying to improve my design of Edward (that really wonky face from last time bothere me to no end) and even though I said I had a father & son piece with Carlisle in mind, I really wanted to draw him in his "snapped" state, just to see what it would look like. So this isn't from a particular moment in either book, just something I wanted to try. After seeing the illustrations from the Japanese books, I was really tempted to change his hair style, but then I realised I'd probably end up drawing something way too similar to Light from Death Note, so I stuck with what I drew last time instead. Oh and where's his shirt? I don't know! If Jacob and the boys can lose their shirts so easily, why not Edward, eh?

I want to try drawing Bella now, which will probably be tricky seeing how I don't draw girls that much at all.

I've decided to read both books again (yes, I *know* I only finished less than a week ago) and this time I'm reading *much* more slowly, and taking notes too

Jeez, I'm sorry, I really need to cut down on the description...


ETA: I know Stephenie Meyer's vampires don't have fangs but I learned that some time after posting this and I'm too lazy to edit the picture...

yeah, you'd think that.. but no
she said like..
"Edward does not have fangs.. his teeth are sharp, but normal like. No Fangs"

I was kinda disappointed :[

I sadly can't remember this almost moment, not do I recall seeing any Japanese art. T__T
Bu~t he does look scary and think I remember the description of his eyes.

A picture of Carlisle does seem to be a cool idea though.

Mangsney In reply to Grassangel [2007-03-29 13:37:17 +0000 UTC]

You know, the first biology lesson, where she really can't understand why he's looking at her that way, sitting as far as he can and keeping his fists clenched throughout the lesson? It's even better when you read it from his POV.

As for the Japanese illustrations, you can see the Twilight ones here: [link] and New Moon here: [link]

Grassangel In reply to Mangsney [2007-03-31 09:33:10 +0000 UTC]

Ah... That moment. *vaguely remembers it*

*blinks a couple of times at those illustrations* Okaay... Weird, but then again (even though it's not transcripted over to a manga) I always did think it'd be another effective way to tell it. I did already have images in my head of them anyway so... it's a bit weird to them like that.

Mangsney In reply to Grassangel [2007-04-01 11:53:15 +0000 UTC]

It's a bit weird, yes, I agree, but it's helped me quite a lot for some characters I couldn't portray (Jasper, for instance). Although they got Carlisle wrong.

Well, Carlisle's blond, and they've given him dark hair... [link] Plus, I don't see him with short slicked back hair like that, but that could just be me.

Grassangel In reply to Mangsney [2007-04-04 12:46:24 +0000 UTC]

D: That's- that's... weird!
Carlisle vaguely reminds me (now) of Ryuuken. Only in appearence though. Lean face, slightly longer than usual hair, that's blonde.

Sounds like Fai.

Mangsney In reply to Grassangel [2007-04-04 12:48:50 +0000 UTC]

Oh man, don't say that, now I bet I'm going to be influenced by Ryuuken whenever I try drawing him

And err, who's Fai?

Grassangel In reply to Mangsney [2007-04-04 13:26:07 +0000 UTC]

*flails wildly* But but... he's not quite at the same time because he's a more friendlier character.

And yes, that somehow makes a difference.


Fai is from Tsubasa Chronicles! He's a really fun character, even though he's been angsting lately.
And er... he's got a similar lankiness (although that might just be because of CLAMP's style at the moment) and looks Scandinavian and er.. is a vampire now after having one of his eyes ripped out.

Mangsney In reply to Grassangel [2007-04-04 13:36:06 +0000 UTC]

Definitely friendlier I believe Carlisle is the doctor we all wish we could have (apart from the cold hands)

Just Googled Fai and he looks quite sweet...

Grassangel In reply to Mangsney [2007-04-06 00:20:00 +0000 UTC]

Well I think the fact most doctors AREN'T friendly makes everyone want him. Even with cold hands.

Fai is sweet except for when he goes emo. Which has happened quite a lot recently.

Thank you! I take it your friend's enjoying it, right? Like I said in the description, I'm reading Twilight again, *much* more slowly, which really was a good idea because I indeed read it too quickly the first time. And I'm writing down all sorts of things too, for reference.

And yes, I wasn't going to let him be all crooked again!
