Weeks 24 & 25: Two Weeks, One Half-Finished Piece

During these two weeks I had computer problems, a huge work load and sickness to deal with.  Seriously, I had so much mucus that it dripped down my face whenever I looked down.  This made drawing an unappealing activity.  Essentially, during these two weeks I only drew this, but it's not nothing, either.  Let's take a look.



This is a Zelda: Twilight Princess wallpaper, found here.  This is a fairly ambitious project, as it should be.  I have maybe two pages left in my notebook, and I want those pages to be awesome.  I'm not going to mail it in.  True, the paper is horrible, as we can again see here: the return of the wavy lines of doom.  You'll have to take my word that it's fully black there.

I spent about one hour just shading and blending the background.  I figured to just get that out of the way, and I can erase things for white highlights as needed.  That's proved smart so far.  I then sketched the basic outline of the wolf head.  From there, I've focused on the darkest darks and am slowly filling them in with my brand new 2B mechanical pencil.  I've been looking for one forever, and I found it at a Dollarama of all places.  Considering the usual quality of Dollarama products, it's amazing.

I'd wager the wolf is more than half done.  Shade in the rest of the dark, then add the lighter sections, plus the eyes and the ear.  That should easily be done for next week.  The real question will be whether I can finish Link on the opposite side.  That will be harder, but I'll certainly try.
