more angsty

Torchwood is a little too gorey for me. I'm such a wimp.



So I've been wanting to do a sitting angsty pose of the Doctor for a while. I've read a couple fanfics where the authors have the Doctor looking through Rose's old things after season 2. It fits so perfectly into canon, of course that's what happened, right?

I had to run to the postoffice before they closed, so I scanned what I'd done before I left and thought I'd show you a little of my work process. (I'm copying you, Christy!!) I forgot to scan when I started the bare bones of the sketch, but... basically, it was just a rough boxy shape of the Doctor's body.

I used these images for reference


It took about an hour, give or take for the rough sketch. This is about as far as I tie stuff down before going into graphite.


then the graphite part was pretty easy, taking about 30-40 min probably. I do the graphite right on top of the red pencil, and then I remove it in photoshop by removing the red channel. notice how he lost his glasses? :P




I'd like to color it, but (a) I'm tired and (b) I'm not sure I can get the darkness of lighting I want with markers without making a mess of it. (translation: Rose's room is bright obnoxious pink, so the lighting would have to be dark enough for the scene to read) So who knows.

A few things.- It's nice to see your process! I will have to try the colerase and red channel effect. You make drawing a scene look effortless, and I like how you use reference but don't blatantly piece together photos in a drawing.
I know next to nothing about Dr. Who but today in my menstrual woes accompanied by angel food cake I watched the episode in your icon and a couple before that one and can't help but say that I'm really interested! I have to watch the seasons proper from the beginning now! (After only a few episodes I cried at the end what the hell!)

that ending had me BAWLING. I'm such a sap.
if you're unsure, I'd recommend watching "Girl in the Fireplace", "Midnight" and "BLINK" those are pretty awesome and can be watched out of context. The show isn't for everyone, but I looooves it. :D

I totally second the col-erase + red channel. I felt like a complete moron after years of trying to select the black ink without selecting the red. *facepalm*

Aww, so sad. It fits perfectly with his reaction to Donna finding Rose's shirt in The Runaway Bride, yeah. Incidentally, LJ tells me happy returns are in order!

I love this picture... it's sweet.

And the torchwood comic made me giggle.

[rurouni-jedi.livejournal.com]

Wow, LOVE seeing how you progress from sketch to finished piece! I've always loved how you style was loose without losing any detail. AAAAAAAAND I really love the way you draw hands. :D

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

thanks, I really really appreciate that! I never want to be too tight with things, but details are important, too, so that's a high compliment!

~* Happy Birthday, Aimee! *~ <3 I hope you'll have a really lovely day! *sends hugs and fancy cakes*

I've been really enjoying all of your DW fanart and this is no exception. But so sad, poor Ten. ;~;
It's great to see your process too... I'll have to try the colerase/red channel technique, it makes so much sense.

Oh, it's beautiful and sad and poignant. The look on his face just makes me want to cry! :(

As I understand it, TW is supposed to be for a more "mature" audience, and is on at a later hour than the Doctor. That seems to translate to more gore and sex talk.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

yeah, that's my understanding, too. So far I like Doctor Who a lot more, but love John Barrowman, soooo...

[jinyo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, back when Barrowman was a guest on DW, I was hoping he would become a companion for a while longer. He's a fun character.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

yeah, it'd be great if he was in more episodes but I guess now he has to take care of torchwood. :(

Hi Aimee,

Awww ;(! Poor Doctor! Supposedly, the T.A.R.D.I.S. has hundreds or thousands of rooms inside, most of which I suspect haven't been cleaned out by any of his previous companions except for maybe Sarah Jane's.

I want to give the Doctor a hug ;_;!
