So.
The scanner on the printer is being a rotten beast. Bah.
Technically it’s Windows 8.1 that’s causing the problems, because it seems like I’ll need new software to get the scanner to work for me now that I have the new Windows (Windows 10 pending. Yay!) So mostly I’m stuck with photographing my artwork and dealing with camera distortion. GRRR.
Anyway, so I have some in-progress doodles of the Doctor and Compawnions series (title suggested by Shiekah) that I thought I might post for everyone’s approval!
While I know it’s not perfect–my style will develop over time, and I’m looking forward to the learning process–I’m pretty happy with it. Enjoy!
Mostly, I just start out with a rough sketch in pencil. (You probably can’t tell from this how many times I had to erase the Doctor’s face and draw it back in again. Ugh. And then I made Jack’s muzzle too long!) Sorry I don’t have the original pencil sketch before ink–I drew this when I was in between classes (first day of college, woo), and didn’t think to take pictures before I started inking.
I continue by following the pencil lines with my art pens. Brown for the Doctor, black for Jack, and gray art marker to define Jack’s white pilot’s scarf (because Jack needed a fashion accessory.) Then I erase the original pencil lines to make the sketch nice and sharp.
Once the main action of the picture is in, if I decide that I want one, I’ll doodle in a background. (I normally just draw it all at once and then ink it, but this might actually work better, since the background isn’t in the way of the foreground and I’m focusing on the figures rather than everything else, so it’s not too busy… of course, I need to keep surfaces in mind.)
And finally, I ink in the background as well, erase all the remaining pencil lines, and I’m done!
Wow, the Doctor looks ticked off…
Jack is probably going to get pawed in the face in a minute. ;-P
So there you have it, start to finish!
(This right here is the original inspiration for this drawing. I might, I might not. I definitely don’t own Doctor Who, any of the characters in that show, a Dalek, or the lovely kitteh who inspired it all.)
Thanks for reading/looking, and God Bless! ;-D

Hahaha, love it!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! X-D
XD Awesome. Cheesy puns are always good for a smile. 🙂
*points to 3rd picture * I see your thumb, Erin! I see it! Ha- ha! Proof that you are a human being! XP
😛 Thank you! 😀
No, actually I’m a Time Lord and humans just look like Time Lords X-P
Ah. Do Time Lords also wear gold nail polish? 😉
It’s not gold. It’s ugly pale green and I keep forgetting to take it off and try mixing it with another color instead to see if that works.
But yes. They do. Sometimes 😛 (Like when their female relations decide to hold a beauty salon impromptu on whoever happens to be in range…)
Ah, yes. I evaded one of those the other night by studiously filing my nails while they painted theirs. The impromptu makeup experiments are even worse, though… Can’t really get away from those. 😛
Oh wow. I’ve been the victim of one or two of those X-P
Yeeeahhhh… Not my piece of cake, thanks. 😛
Mine either. I do wear makeup… sometimes. I’m just not a fan of huge sweeping swaths of it. 😛
Yeah. 😉 I like it on other people, but I think I look weird with it, so I don’t wear it when I have a choice. 😛
I look okay with it, but eyeliner doth not love me, it seems. 😛
Ho yes. Me either. 😛 Mom made me wear it and I spent the whole car trip hiding in my hoodie so my brothers wouldn’t see it.
X-P Oh wow. Sounds like fun? 😛
No, not really. XP
X-P
I always feel so weird whenever I have to wear makeup for some reason, like that’s not my face or something. Yikessss
I know. It’s like if I straighten my hair and everyone is like “Oh, you look so nice like that!”
Umm… thanks? Was that supposed to be a compliment?
I’ve only straightened my hair once. Talk about a hassle. XD
Yeah… I did the same thing once when I was at summer camp and my cabin/dorm wanted to see how I’d look with straight hair. It looked okay, but I went and jumped in the pool almost immediately afterward, so it was like “So much for that!” 😛 It did feel nice, though, when they were combing my hair to get ready…mmmmm
Haha, I went and swam in the river afterwards. 😛 I was straightening mine for a short film of a book scene we were doing with friends. The evil lady I was playing had straight hair. 😉
Fun! ^_^

Love it! I look forward to seeing your style develop, you have gotten off to a super start!
Thank you! I’m so excited about this as well 😀
