I'm still on something of a roll with the art, these days, especially having been inspired by a friend's Hunger Games WIP. It's been fun to get back into things, although I'm still a bit rusty in some areas.

I've also been playing with the Sketch Club app on the iPad, which is fun, but I find that for me a lot of the process of drawing is very tactile - the scrape of the pen or pencil against the paper, or even the feel of the paper itself. Also, there's something about the sound of it that I find to be an important part of the process. Aside from the fact that fine motor control is difficult with the touch screen, I don't find drawing on it nearly as satisfying as working on paper. That said, I think that its real value will come from importing inked sketches so I can color the damned things.

Anyhoo... behind the cut is a pencil sketch of Primrose Everdeen, done from a movie still. It's technically not finished, but I'm happy with it as-is. The only thing I'd do more of is work on the detail of her blouse, but that would be more for the technical side of things than the aesthetic. Besides, I drew this on the cheapo sketch pad. If I draw her again, I'll use this as a prototype and work her up on the bristol board.


Prim at the Reaping


Next up, I think I'm gonna draw a Winchester (or two).

I've known you as a writer so long, I still can't get over what a talented artist you are as well!
