Princess Bride

This is my second attempt at this Fandom and my focus is on getting the portraits to look accurate and the composition inviting. I feel that I’ve accomplished that, and even though this drawing is better than the last I don’t feel that it’s one of my best.

What I do like is the expression on Westley’s face. He captures the sometime serious some times comedic character in the movie.

Sessions

I’ve finished my drawing of Westley and Buttercup from the Princess Bride movie. It’s not my best drawing in the Fandom Fitness series, but I did it.

Working on Westley’s sword arm and hand today after most of my day spent at work.

It’s amazing how just adding in a few sharp lines and darker values will change an area from a blob of unfinished to an object with form.

It’s interesting how some small changes can bring a drawing closer to finished than hours of larger work.

Letting go this morning with lots of charcoal I filled in most of the lower half of my Princess Bride drawing.

My energy today has been sapped because work started in the morning, my normal art time.

More work on Westley’s face today. I think his portrait will come together much faster.

Daily Art #2945

I think that Buttercup’s face is working well now after some small changes to her eyes and the values of her face.

Daily Art #2941

Today was supposed to be all about getting the drawing refined for the whole drawing but I was seduced by detail.

My second attempt at drawing Westley and Buttercup Princess Bride with hopes that this one will go much better.
