Office Laughter

Dwight

 Two different characters from The Office US (again, I know) laughing. The second one, of Stanley, I tried to caricature him slightly, but in the process of trying to get it looking right missed the mark and only made his eyes a tad bigger than in reality. Still happy with the expression, just not the style I was aiming for.

Stanley

Sansa Stark

Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones. She had a really complex emotion that was a challenge to capture, and I didn't quite get there but I think it would need more tone to really get the essence of it. Referenced image is below...

Mother Gothell

Facial expressions of Mother Gothell from Disney's "Tangled", from an expression sheet found on the web. Not so happy with these, except for the middle left one. Still need a lot of practice with eye placement, especially with tilted heads.

"Not A Bad Day"

This is a really sweet scene in The Office US, and I wanted to capture that understated contentment Jim has.


(you'll notice I tend to have done a lot of drawings from The Office; I keep finding interesting expressions and can't help myself!!)

Aladdin & Ariel

Aladdin

Wanted to practice drawing Disney characters to get a good sense of how they're constructed, and also because they capture great expressions without a whole lot of detail. Found some expressions sheets online of Aladdin and Ariel and copied them as best I could. Some I'm happy with, most I'm not. Still good practice.

Ariel

"I Just Can't Wait To Be King"

ONE MORE self-portrait and I'm done with them for a while. I did this on the eve of my 21st birthday; an old photo from when I was a kid that I thought captured the excitement of it almost being my birthday.

"Pam"

Another couple of referenced portraits, of Pam from "The Office" US. The image above is the second one I did, which I was quite happy with (even her face on the left is a little too wide).

The drawing to the left is my first attempt at drawing her, using a different image that had a much more complex expression (she looks happy and excited but very meekly) so without much shading it was very difficult to capture. Also I'd messed up her facial proportions quite a bit so she doesn't look right at all. Thought it was still worth posting to show progress.
