Project: character design

Out of the 8+ drafts I did if not more here's 4 which I picked. Ideally I'd redo the whole thing but I did promise to have a draft ready to show so in the interest of meeting a deadline here's what I have. I will be making some new toons as these just dont look heroic at all and they dont have a unified look its like 2 different styles in one page.

Software: photoshop
Hardware: pen, pencil, scanner, wacom intuos tablet 6x8

Drawing day 2: Albert Einstein Upsidedown

Following the lesson plan of "Drawing on the right side of the brain" by Betty Edwards

albert einstein drawn upside down. Fpr veiwing purposes i flipped it to normal side up. Yes upside down so it disconnects the part of your Left brain that recognizes eyes, ears nose etc and assigns symbols to it. I'm shocked. the results were alot better than expected. My drawing vs. original phtograph
