Red Head



Well, over on THE DRAWINGBOARD this month's Girls drawing jam is redheads. Go check it out, there has been some really nice work done so far. I noticed that every drawing was of a really nice, pretty, sane looking girl. Now, I'm not one for stereotypes, but every redheaded girl I have met has been NUTS. I mean crazy. This is just my experience. I'm sure there are some very nice, normal redheaded girls out there, so don't send any hatemail my way. I believe that you exist, I just haven't met you.

Here's what the pencils looked like for this...

Her pose/attitude is like a perfect moment encapsulated by your pencil.

Emma said...

Haha, awesome. The red being the only non-blue in the entire picture really pops it.

So is that thing her conscience?

Martin Wittig said...

Nice choice of colors.. and I'm liking the slight change in style I've seen you going through since I joined the DrawingBoard a year or so ago.

Cheers

Gerald de Dios said...

Nice illo John. I thought the pencil work was already fantastic, but when you layed down the ink and colors...Whoa!

You should definitely get a sketchbook together and sell it at APE-con. I'd buy one.

I wonder who gave you that opinion...hmm. Someone from your year at sheridan? Ms. "C.G." mayhaps? (She's bonkers, Im anonymous so she doesn't "cook my pet rabbit" , as it were... )

Fantastic John. Red heads can be dangerous, but with firm handling and lots of exercise, they can make a loving family pet.

Wow, thanks for all of the kind comments everyone.

Adam - I'll post more women when I can. After I finish my latest painting I'll see what I can come up with for April's jam.

Thanks Emma. You gonna be at the sketchcrawl?

Thanks Martin.

Yeah Ven, man I found some of the art I posted when I first joined the drawingboard... eek. But, it's good to see progress. Still got a long way to go though.

Ber - thanks buddy,

Gerald - Sketchcrawl? As you'll see in my latest post, sketchbook ain't gonna happen. That was some good english right there.

Thanks ALina.

Who are you anonymous? I assume I know you since I know who it is you reference. interesting.

lizzel lizzel, mojo, andrew thanks.

Kris, I still owe you a phone call. I don't know, I think they're like monkeys and banned as pets in the U.S. Something about unpredictability combined with Rabies being a bad thing.

Thanks for stopping by Jav, dig your work as well.

Robin, how are things?

lorraine, mauricio, lee, one sick thanks a lot.
