Description This is a quick pencil sketch of BloodRayne that I did a while back that I got permission to post (more pinup pencils coming soon).

It took me about 30-40 minutes plus an hour and a half of studying her costume I think I got her costume right... I used my pages from Plague of Dreams #2 and my cover from Red Blood Run #1 to try to get it down since I've never drawn her before. So she's the comic book BloodRayne, not the video game one (not that I know what she looks like in the game -- never played it).

And I didn't slack off on her legs I literally ran out of paper and on the original, her blade tip is touching the top of the page too.

Materials:
- 9x12 Strathmore 300 smooth bristol
- non photo blue Prismacolor coloured pencil
- 2mm lead holder in HB
- Photoshop (to get rid of some grey and darken)

Check out these awesome inks on my pencils!

wow nice! I love drawing women also. I can't draw anything else! lol How do you get your drawings on to the page with out looking dark? do you use a scanner? I have issues lol still kinda new

mechangel2002 In reply to hollenred [2009-01-17 11:08:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Hehe yeah I have trouble drawing men so women are what I draw mostly.

I sketch the body and main details with a Prismacolor non-photo blue pencil, which you can buy at Michael's or Blick's (it's in with the coloured pencils). If it's too darkly drawn I lightly erase it soe that you can't see it unless you're pretty close. Then I have a Staedtler 2mm drafting pencil (which is what most of us use to pencil comic book pages) and draw everything clean with it.

When the drawing is done I scan it in at 300 dpi minimum and save it as a TIFF or TIF file to get the highest quality digital file of it Scanning it in greyscale will make any of the non-photo blue still showing a very light grey. Then I adjust the Levels in Photoshop to get rid of the grey until I have a clean, clear scan.

DaveLuck [2008-06-10 18:55:37 +0000 UTC]

I really like this one and for some reason I like the simple, hard lines of the pencils way better than the coloured ones of the finished one. I don't know why, I just seem to like sketches more. For one I really like the shiny-ness of her pants and her costume and the folds at the joints. I never can get those parts right so I always like to find people who can and see how they handle it. You did a good job.

Thanks man Well I guess the lines in pencil feel more organic eh?

DaveLuck In reply to mechangel2002 [2008-06-11 07:05:12 +0000 UTC]

I guess you could say that they make it feel more natural, definitely. I think a sketch that can be simply awesome without the need for fancy shading, inks, and colouring is best. I like it that way, and it also makes me feel like I'm looking at something the artist crafted with his or her own hands, right then and right there, and I respect that.

Yup -- all my pencilwork is devoid of that really complicated shadin I like really clean stuff.

Thanks Not really my first time drawing her, but the first time I got to do more than just a 5-10 minute sketch lol. There's a couple of convention pinup sketches I did of Rayne floating around (I did them at ECCC) and 1 bust in a copy of my sketchbooks lol.
