Description Valerie Brannigan: He's completely insane!
Thomas Kincade Brannigan: That, and a bit magnificent.


David Tennant as the Doctor in the Doctor Who episode Gridlock, with the most adorable kitty ever on his shoulder.
Pink bows are cool. I bet this is where the Doctor got his current love for bow ties (yeah probably not).

This is my first attempt at drawing something in my Moly (finally ). I had a hard time getting used to the paper, even though I loved it right from the start. Somehow it manages to have more texture than my Bristol paper, but still is more smooth than that Bristol paper. Especially tricky when you're trying to shade properly and keeping things from getting too blurry or too crisp.
Anyway, all in all I quite like it. I even had great fun drawing Ten's hair and the kitty's fur ( I always hate drawing hair)!

I like his jacket, looks very lifelike and... comfy Although you dislike drawing hair [how can you? ,] it turned out very well, as well as kitty's fur. And even though this was your first attempt at using this paper, you managed to shade properly
Nice choice of the reference photo, it's interesting

N0rks In reply to Ilojleen [2011-07-18 18:37:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I don't really like drawing hair... It always looks far too heavy and massive when I draw it, and never light enough. I also hate drawing all the tiny details in messy hair, when I know they're not gonna look good in the end.
Anyway, thanks again! I've wanted to draw this picture for a really long time!

Ilojleen In reply to N0rks [2011-07-27 16:44:04 +0000 UTC]

Hope you forgive me, but I still can't believe how you can dislike drawing hair, it's so relaxing And don't be so harsh on yourself, the hair looks wonderful here. I'd like to stroke it
You're very welcome!

N0rks In reply to Ilojleen [2011-08-09 21:24:20 +0000 UTC]

Personally, I think it's frustrating. But I must admit that the more often the hair I draw looks good, the more I'm beginning to like it.

Sry, my brain couldn´t think of a longer comment earlier
I like the hair... and how it all looks textured and smooth at the same time, and the tone of the pencil, if that makes sense
And the pink ribbon fits just perfectly

N0rks In reply to Hallarhoswen [2011-07-15 21:52:07 +0000 UTC]

You got your message across, which is what counts.
Thanks a lot! That textured and smooth thing is mainly due to the paper, it's weird (and oddly enough, amazing ) like that.

Yeah for great drawing papers!

You really did a great job on this one! I love the shading (exactly the right amount of blurriness ) and the hair and fur came out awesomely (is that even a word?) as well!

Thanks a lot! Great to hear I mananged to get the right amount of everything, even though this was more of a try-out. The more comments I get about it, the more I'm liking it myself, actually.
