Jim's 2018 resolution

[Jim]

I promised myself I would draw more this year, and I thought one way to motivate myself would be to draw every new Transformer I get in 2018. I am slow off the mark, but also in collecting, so maybe I can catch up...

Anyway, here's Slash. Fineliner and coloured Sharpies.



EDIT: I meant to put this in the Transformers gallery section, feel free to move!

Lovely stuff

Very nice indeed. Love the shading and the highlights - looks fantastic.

Here's Swoop.

I'm not quite as happy with it as Slash, a couple of preparatory sketches I did for it felt much more dynamic, but I am doing this to get back into drawing again so it is important to fail and learn!

These are great. I'm impressed with the even finish you're getting out of the Sharpies. No streaks.

[Jim]

That’s something Sharpies are pretty good for, better even than the “proper” brush pens I used to use. Have to watch for the bleed though! Grey is especially bad for that but red doesn’t seem to at all. It’s all good learning.

Looks great!

Sentinel Prime! Unfortunately I used a neon sharpie to do the orange parts and that does not scan at all, so you may need to use some imagination here until I have found a way to adjust the colour!

EDIT: I can't adjust the colour how I'd like, but I've at least made it more orange...

[Andy Turnbull]

Very striking.

Just discovered I accidentally did something awesome... I was about to recycle the packaging of my neon Sharpies when I saw it said they react to UV light. My daughter got a "spy pen" for her birthday last year with a UV light, and so...
