I forgot to take photos of the drafting stage, so here is about 2/4′s the work; pre-shaded with Copics N1 and N2.
A few days ago, I decided onto drawing The Doctor again. Not only is he a badass multiplayer character/NPC from the Assassin’s Creed 2 era, he’s also really fun to draw. From the mysterious eyes to the bird-like beak, this man never fails to make an impression. Coincidentally, I was inclined to test out if I can darken my red Copic with my greys — which gives The Doctor a more of chance to be drawn again.
Instead of the old apporach, I wanted to add a taste of sinister. Since you can’t see his face, it really makes a statement when something horrific is done to something to emotionless. Due to the mask, we are unable to see his real expressions — and I like that, it’s mysterious. Mysterious is good, especially when done in red and grey colours. After finishing the tradtional half of the piece, (as usual) I imported it onto my photo-editing program to make my touch-ups. Minor touch-ups. With the help of technology, I was able to get the dramatic look I wanted and with content — I punched in the watermark.
Done deal.
Don’t you know that during the onset of the bubonic plague in Europe, doctors ACTUALLY wore these kinds of masks?
Oooh. Also, wonderful art as always. :3.
Thank you! Also, yes I know! (: Look up on them — plague doctors
