Sherlock Holmes- Color Study and Line

Final line and color comp for my Sherlock Holmes piece. I wanted to capture the super romanticized Victorian London that we all see in our minds. This is gonna be fun!!

Makorra

Mako and Korra. Jumping on the ship.

Here's something I actually found really interesting... Below is a drawing of Katara I did in 2006, back when the original Avatar series was airing on TV. I think it's a pretty incredible example of how much I've grown as an artist over the past few years. I wonder where I'll be six years from now!

Aggie's Nine Heroes- Pencil

So I was contacted by YA author Diana Laurence about doing illustrations of the characters of her book "Aggie's Nine Heroes". You can check out her website here. The characters were super fun to draw... Now on to color!

ABC Thumbnails

Thumbnail sketches of the four finished illustrations for the ABC assignment... I'm doing scenes from four of the novels that I sketched characters for. You probably can't tell what's going on in them, but I can!! Muahahaa

And here's a quick color comp I did for the Sherlock Holmes piece. Composition still isn't great (and what's with the chairs that look like Valentine's Day heart candies?....) but this was mostly for color.

And here's a second one I tried with a slightly different composition. I thought maybe it would be good to show Holmes' really recognizable deerstalker hat and pipe in the foreground.

And here's another idea for a Sherlock Holmes piece. I think I'm gonna go with this one. Yes, I realize that there is not actually a tree under Big Ben. MEH.
