Drawing With Midge

So, as you've probably seen, Loppy is the crafty eccentric hipster of this partnership. I'm more the artsy fartsy gaming type. So lately I've been working on something I fancy showing off a bit I guess. Myself and Loppy have fallen in love with Marvel films lately, and we recently went to X-Men: Days of Future Past. But my all time favourite villain, and close to being my favourite overall (I still hold a torch for Iron Man and Robert Downey Jr.) is Loki, especially played by Tom Hiddleston. So I decided to start a painting... which is by no means close to being finished, but I thought as a filler and as my first real solo post it would start things off nicely.

So I started this a while ago, just as a passing the time thing, beginning by drawing in the head. I like to document when I draw things in progression stages, to sort of prove to myself weirdly that I did it.



Apologies for the bad quality.

As I started it, I did not really like it. I even considered giving up a few times, but most of the things I do don't turn out well, until the very end, so I'm glad I stuck with it.



I am a caption!! :D

I then started the shading, starting with the face, but I'm not good with mouths, or specifically anything that completes a face. Anything that completes a face either makes it or breaks it. It's the part that decides whether your drawing looks like the person you intended, a random non identifiable person, or not a person at all. It was then I started enjoying the look of the painting all together.

I preferred the first photo but I stuck with it.

Loki in between day and night. Loki is the master of the universe (H)

Loki's head sitting atop a hobbit hole on a backdrop of the night ;P

Still without a mouth, and not quite there, but a lot closer then we were. Ill update the progress when I finally decide to complete this.

 

So that's it for now. I hope people like it as much as myself and Loppy does ^.^
And maybe Ill do another Drawing With Midge soon :3

Baii for now <3
