Here we go, unveiling the Movie Sketch Project (such clever titling, I know), the new thing in which every week I make a piece of art that connects to a movie I saw that week. Yeah. I'm starting it off with a still from The Girl Who Played With Fire, depicting Lisbeth in possible zombie make-up. Here you will see some of my trademarks as an artist- the lack of motivation to ever do a good job on hair or clothing, no background, and other general signs of laziness. Otherwise I think it looks good, especially since I haven't drawn more realistically for a while. So go, click ahead to see it if you must. I'd recommend full-viewing it.
Also: if by some unexpected reason you ever like something I drew well enough to pay small amounts of dollars for it, please let me know, and I can start selling things through etsy.

That is excellent and I can honestly say that this has just become my current favourite blogging series. Looking forward to future ones!
ReplyDeleteStill haven't learned anything about these books. Maybe I should...

My sister was doing one these. Then she got bored or something.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this is excellent. Love the shock of color.
Film Intel: Wow that's high praise indeed! I'll try to maintain a higher standard of excellence for future posts!
ReplyDeleteSasha: Haven't read the books yet, but I keep hearing excellent things about them. So far the movies are pretty good- the first one especially, which just came out on dvd if you want to check it out.
Simon: Oh that's too bad your sister stopped doing it. And thanks!
Alex, you rock - having seen the film (and image), I can assure you that this is excellent, and I too love the series. Very unique (and time-consuming, I'm sure). Cheers to you.
ReplyDeleteOh, and maybe I'll do the same, only utilizing my mad MS Paint Skillz. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love how the color really appears to curve around her nose and ends with her chin, adds such a great 3D element, really makes it pop (which the color does anyway just being awesome color too!). Awesome choice! And yay for a series!
ReplyDeleteFletch: Thank you so much! And good luck with the MS Paint artwork haha.
ReplyDeleteJenny: Aw thanks! I'm glad the pop of color worked out- I wrestled with whether or not it might ruin the drawing itself.
Amelie and Robert De Niro are hanging in our living room. You should have charged us.
ReplyDeleteVery very cool. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteNicole: Oh jeez the Amelie sketch is so old I should re-do it for you so I won't be embarrassed by my poorer high school skillz. Also they were gifts! For free!
ReplyDeleteJLG: Thanks!
Love it, featured it in my Lisbeth post:
