Crappy dried up crayolas + fangirl = rather disastrous Nine art. Here's the original:  Here he is after some severe photoshopping to get rid of that random mustache:  There is something seriously off about his mouth. I hate mouths. They are the downfall of everything. Mouths and hands. Urgh. |

I think you sell yourself short, Clocket; I wish I could draw people and have them end up looking like the person they're supposed to be! I liked the moustache; could have been a good look for him! ;D

...the crappy art supplies strike again! First, I gave a shot at drawing Tennant with the dried up crayolas, because I thought he'd feel left out otherwise. Well, my sympathies for anyone who has ever had to draw him and his infuriating nose and mouth (mouths are EVIL!). And then I accidentally knocked over my drink and kind of ruined it. So I gave him silly glasses:  Nextly, at work today I was bored. So I kind of started doodling on the back of an inventory list. Er. So that's Nine chilling with the university's new chancellor, who, incidentally, is an actor, and once played a character on Star Trek called "The Traveller"  The fact that our university exchanged an actual astronaut for someone who was on Star Trek once has not ceased to amuse/dumbfound me. He was also in North of 60. |

OMG! I remember that character. He was in 2 episodes total. He was a pretty cool character, and your drawing looks like how I remember him. (Without the alien makeup, of course!) |

Oh good heavens - here I was kind of admiring the Nine pic, thinking it was a good sight better than I'd ever manage with dried up markers and then that picture of Ten went by ... you about made us spew at our screen here, ha!
I kind of like that last one, maybe it's that funky long nose, I dunno - they look great to me. :-D

And Tennant's even doing that expression he always does. I think all of these are great! ;D

Re first two (Nine): I like it. It's expressive. CE needs to have attitude and he does here. It's too bad you used crayons? Felt markers? so that you couldn't fine-tune by erasing, because I think that's how you learn to reorient your perceptions, and render better, by having to fix it physically. This is coming though from the man who keeps having to erase and redraw so often he wears ugly holes in the paper and has to do things like gluing a new scrap of paper behind it to fill the hole. I mean, it doesn't sound as if I'm learning much. Whatever works for you is what works.

Indeed, Tennant is doing that expression he always does (I actually couldn't find a decent reference picture where he wasn't doing some kind of variation on it)
..
Magnus, you don't know how much I would KILL for an eraser. 'Course, I could always quest about and buy one, but good erasers are so infuriatingly hard to find.
though... getting a decent pencil would probably be a worthwhile investment too, or at least tracking down some means of sharpening the ones I have.
I've actually been doing pencil under sketches for the crappy crayola drawings, and then try to go over my initial mistakes with ink so that they aren't so painfully obvious. Hence Nine's smudgedy mustache.

I work with some very inferior materials. Sometimes I've just used a #2 pencil and the eraser on the end, if that's all I have, or if for some baffling reason that pencil and that eraser (or other improbable things) seem to work for me that night. One night a more expensive professional drawing pencil, better than Ebony, wasn't right, and the #2 pencil suddenly was. I do all sorts of things you're not supposed to. I've redrawn a face completely over the xerox of a figure, drawing with pencil and white grease pencil since I couldn't erase.
