Happy #WerewolfWednesday!
We had a massive full moon yesterday & the day before, too.
This is a really tiny werewolf I drew at the top of the page of Oct 28th in my 2023 diary.

Photo of the top of the page of October 28th in my 2023 diary. On top of the "Saturday" word, is a very tiny silhouetted bipedal werewolf doodle, which is only about half an inch high(?). A little higher, and to the right, is a miniature full-moon drawing, with two dark clouds at the bottom. At the very top of the image is my mechanical pencil for scale. Pretty happy with how it turned out, except for the front paw (don't know what happened there, lol).

Art block was hitting hard with this one, so it took a while despite the process being easier than expected. Mostly happy with how he came out, though he's a bit paler than I wanted him. This was actually the first drawing I did in my 2024 diary, which felt good. Still haven't done ST5 yet though 😩
Process photo of my Scotty portrait. he's just a very rough outline at this point, still with guidelines on his face and blank eyes and mouth. Another process photo. This time the outline is completely finished, though no colour has been added yet. The outline was surprisingly easy to nail, actually. It was mainly the colour that took a while. Colour has been added to the face and coat, though the facial features and hair are still blank. last process photo of him looking almost finished, except for the eyes and mouth not having enough definition.

#Art #StarTrek #ArtSky #TraditionalArt #ClassicArt #StarTrekTOS #Fanart #MontgomeryScott
Miniature portrait of a still of James Doohan as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott from the movie "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home". He has a smiling expression and is looking off to the right. The drawing covers his head, neck and most of his shoulders. He is dressed in a red jacket covering a white shirt. He is drawn in Lyra colouring pencils and graphite pencils and is about an inch and a half high. Photo taken further out. Scotty is drawn in the long, rectangular note space at the bottom of a page in my diary. On the left, are the words "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" -- the title of the movie -- in standard, uppercase font. "Star Trek IV" is in grey lettering and "The Voyage Home" in larger, blue lettering, as on one of the original movie posters. The Scotty portrait is positioned on the right, and on the further right, next to him, are grey and red pencils for scale.

Really struggled with this one. For some reason, the sketch took ages to look right, & then the blending of the colours was a nightmarish process too. I felt extra pressure for getting this one right as well, because this is my fave character from my fave Trek movie. Happy with the result though.
Process photo of my Doctor McCoy portrait. He's just a floating head with no facial features except for guidelines dividing his face here. Second process photo. The floating head has gained an eye and a terrible-looking nose and mouth! Third process photo. Finally looking much better, the outline is pretty much completed, all guidelines erased. The terrible nose and mouth have been replaced with ones that look much better. The sketch is complete! All his features are completely drawn in, including his eyeballs. No colour yet, though. Sadly I only realised after I started putting colour on that he leans far too much to the right when compared to the reference, but it doesn't matter. He looks alright when not compared to the reference!

HUMAN artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

This isn't what I consider to be the best piece of art I've ever done, however, I've noticed a fair few Trekkies on here, so I thought this one would be one of the most convincing (I'm a nerd too, lol).

#StarTrek #Spock
Miniature portrait of a still of Leonard Nimoy as Spock from the movie "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". He has a neutral expression and is looking off to the left.

The drawing covers his head, neck and most of his shoulders. He is dressed in a brown jacket with red and pink light reflecting off of it, as well as his hair and face (which I spent AGES blending in to make it look right, I might add).

Really happy with how this one came out! The process was really smooth too; not much pain involved, lol.
Spock felt like a logical choice to draw after drawing Kirk from TMP, which is why I picked him.
Here are some process photos and a closeup of the title for you.

Miniature portrait of Jadzia Dax from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - S06E26: Tears of the Prophets". She's dressed in her usual uniform of the latter seasons of the show, and is drawn in front-profile. Her expression is one of calm serenity. She is drawn in Lyra colouring pencils, and is about an inch and a half high. Her facial features are slightly wonky, especially her nose and right eye, which is part of the reason why I am really not find of how this one came out. I drew her during raging art block, and I feel like it really shows. For some reason, I didn't notice how wonky her features were until after I started colouring her face. I really wanted to do Jadzia justice, because she's one of my top faves, especially as it's this episode I picked her to draw from. Never mind. Photo taken further out. Jadzia is drawn in the long, rectangular note space at the bottom of a page in my diary. On the left, are the words "Tears of the Prophets", the episode's title, drawn in dark blue. On the right are two blue pencils for scale.

Miniature portrait of Doctor Julian Bashir from "Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, S2E11: Rivals". He is wearing his racquetball outfit and looking to the left of the screen. He is drawn in Lyra colouring pencils and HB graphite pencil. His skin tone isn't as good as I wanted it to be, because I spent so long blending about three different pencils together, that I gave up in the end! he's also not as realistic as I wanted, but I'm okay with him being a bit more stylised for a change. Photo of the drawing taken further out. The portrait is on the right of the the small note space area at the bottom of my diary page. On the left of the page, is the word "Rivals", the episode title, written in red, with a small target sign drawn underneath. On the right, is a red and blue pencil for scale. The portrait is about an inch and a half high.

Small, loose sketch of Frankenstein's Monster from "Frankenstein" 1931, drawn in ballpoint pen. He's roughly drawn, stylised, but in proportion. His face is only slightly shaded. The sketch stops before completing his shoulders; only his bust is drawn. On the right side of his face is a small blue streak where I made a mistake on his jawline and tried to cover it up with a white pen. It sort of worked, and I'm pretty pleased with the drawing over all! Photo of the same sketch, with a mechanical pencil for scale. The drawing is roughly an inch high, drawn on scrap cream-coloured paper. On either side of him are a load of crossed-out numbers. This is because I'd used the paper beforehand as part of a game I was playing with my family (Qwirkle).

Small sketch done in ballpoint pen of the bride of Frankenstein on scrap lined blue paper. She’s looking directly forward. I only drew her bust, not much past her shoulders. She’s done entirely I pen, except for a small amount of the pencil outline I drew first that’s still slightly visible and for the white highlights in her eyes and on her lips.

Drew this last year when #Easter & #daylightsavings happened to land on the same day (in the UK), so I had a sudden bout of inspiration to draw in my diary #theWhiteRabbit from #AliceinWonderland and use the tiny clock symbol as his pocket watch!

#art
Mini drawing of the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland that’s about an inch and a half high. He’s based on one of the classic original illustrations from the novel, in typical 1860s (?) fashion. He’s holding a pocket watch which is a little pre-printed clock symbol to symbolise daylight saving, which I incorporated it into the drawing as the watch. Just next to that is the word “SUNDAY” and “31” because it’s drawn in the top of the page of Easter Sunday 2024. On the left is my mechanical pencil for scale.
