Description Dalek: Please desist from striking me. I am your soldier.
The Doctor: You! Are! My! Enemy! And I am yours! You are everything I despise! The worst thing in all creation. I've defeated you. Time and time again, I've defeated you. I sent you back into the Void! I saved the whole of Reality from you! I am the Doctor! And you are the Daleks!
Dalek: Correct.


The Doctor has a Dalek now. Daleks are cool.
This is from the Doctor Who episode "Victory of the Daleks." The tea Dalek in that episode is super awesome, maybe almost as awesome as this pocket-sized Dalek with the Doctor attached.

I already started this drawing back in January, and I didn't finish it until today. Let's hope I find some more time for drawing soon, or I'll upload nothing else this year.
Still, even as it took real long to complete I'm quite satisfied with the result. Apart from Matt's face, that is. If you have ever tried drawing it you know what I'm talking about. I screwed it up big time, but as erasing it over and over again only damaged the paper I just gave up on drawing his face and left it like this. The only thing that kept me from throwing the complete drawing away was his hair, which was already finished back then and which I think looks really good (if I may say so myself ).

So let's all rejoice and be glad for Matt's hair, as it saved him in this case. I'm a little proud of the Dalek too. I'd prepared for the worst when I started drawing the little details on it, but it came out quite good actually. So yay!

Done with:
× Evil Estonian paper (200 g/m²)
× .3 & .5 mechanical pencils
× 2B & HB pencils
× (Kneaded) eraser & eraser pencil

That's *definitely* your best hair so far. It's so flowy! I love the details on the Dalek and the faint texture on his jacket, the cross-hatching looks really neat!

I also love that you're beginning to do more stuff with full backgrounds. I'm so proud. :')

Thank yooouuu!! I love it too. It's on our living room wall (with all my other drawings) so I sometimes sit and secretly stare at it.
That jacket was terrible! I drew it in like 6 parts and each time I had to remember how exactly I got that result so it wouldn't look like the Doctor bought a patchwork jacket So great to hear it looks good!

Yeah. I blame you for all of this.

Gorgeous drawing! Love the whole idea of it AND the pocket sized Dalek!! where do I get *my* very own pocket sized Dalek?!! LOL If it wasn't for the fact I don't like this doctor (the character, not your drawing) this would be perfect

I really love it! And you´re right about the hair... it is perrrfect The Dalek, clothes and wall, very very good... as for the face, some or just so hard to get right and this one is on an odd angle too... but i am glad you kept it and didn´t throw the whole of it away (what a horrible thought )

May adopt the cute little Dalek? Pretty - please?

Thank you! Yeah, I'm really very proud of his hair too I sometimes just sit and stare at it (secretly) That odd angle is terrible; should you ever want to draw Matt Smith, please take a ref that has a normal angle

It's fine by me, but I don't know if the Doctor would let you.

I tend to secretly stare at my drawings sometimes as well, when I am really proud of them... shhh... dont tell anyone

Hmm... i guess i have to ask him then
