Drawings for January 13, 2005
I’ll try and standardize on a subject for blog posts that have drawings in them. I also have bit the bullet and have reduced the quality of the scans to jpg at about 75% quality. I usually save jpg files at their highest sampling rate, which yields excellent results at the expense of file size.
Anyway, I started studying Calvin and Hobbes. Here is a drawing of Calvin and Hobbes hiding behind a tree from the dreaded two-headed snow thing (I omitted the two-headed snow thing).
Here are a bunch of drawings of Calvin. I scanned the entire pad. The first image has been “filtered” by enhancing the contrast and midtones to get rid of the paper surface details picked up by the scanner:
Here is the original scan. Which do you like better? Post a comment.
Off to bed. I’ll do a few more drawings before I sleep and try and post them tomorrow. At some point I’ll make a post of drawings I do without a reference. I’m getting familiar enough with Calvin to draw him on my own.
