The Analysis continues! Redux!

Well, what can I say, I felt bad to post stuff with photography of sub quality, so I scanned the suckers instead! For information of the drawings read the post below, it’s the same drawings! I’ve focused here on the style of Bruce Timm, save the first page which is from Wizard magazine.

As I’ve written below I’m analyzing/copying various styles to see what makes them great. When I do get to do my own character design I hope that it will be of a good mixture of inspirational material and my own creativity. Even though it would be kind of cool to be a Bruce Timm-copy, I don’t think he would think that would be as great as I would... But to tell you the truth I don’t know how the actual character design process will be like. So stay tuned!

One last thing, when I started this process I made a time schedule to help me be on track. That worked for a week or so... According to that schedule I would be in the middle of the character design process by now... but I think thusly, it’s better to let this phase take it’s time, and make sure that the quality will be as high as I can muster. Instead of hurrying something forward that will be of poorer quality.

Take care!

As I’ve written below, for the drawings below I paused my dvd-player and tried to get the character right for a limited period of time, so that is the reason why they are a bit more sketchy!

The analysis continues!

The analysis continues here, although I’m coming closer to finishing it. I think this is a valuable exercise, and I hope I will gain from it later on in the process.

Here are some pictures, unfortunately my camera is acting up so the drawings are much better, really, I promise... ;-)

Take care!

This photo actually works! The second drawing here and on to the "Justice League-ones" are from comics adaptations in an animated style inspired by artist Bruce Timm. I’ve taken these from two issues of Swedish magazine Gigant 3 and 4 from 2001. The drawings on Catwoman above are from an issue of Wizard.

 Here the camera decides to not participate...

On the second drawing above (on Batman), my reference was a paused episode of the tv-series "Justice League". This gave me less time to "get it right" so the following drawings are quite quicker and more in the line of studies. I kind of focused here on Hawk Girl because it’s a character that I know quite little about. Hawk Man is a character for me that pops up somewhere and is cool, I have to read something with that character...
The fact that I paused a tv-show sent me back in my mind to when I was a kid and paused "The Gummi Bears", to draw the characters from that show...

The second drawing above and the drawing below on Catwoman are from "Batman TAS" season one I think, a kick ass show...
