Title: "The Warmth Experience"
Artist: renisanz
Medium: pencil
Rating: G
Warning: None.
Prompt: a_flame_within : one from a drabble of mine. Cause it's summer-y. (posted below)

Notes: I drew this twice. Scroll down to see my rants on the thing.




Now, y'all might think this drawing is fine and I'm just being crazy. Just trust me, it will be better the next time around.
This was good practice, though.

Meh.

. . . . . . . . . .

So, I'm nuts. I redrew the thing.

The drabble:
For someone who had grown up somewhere so cold, Sheldon marveled at how much she looked like she had been raised on a beach. She spread out her towel and laid down on her stomach seeming to be joining his campaign to ignore Leonard as he dug through the cooler and complained about sand getting everywhere. Sheldon pulled off his own shirt and sat on the ground next to the blond giving up his stigma about sharing for a moment to perch on the edge of her oversized towel. Neither of them spoke as they sat in the sun with their eyes closed, both of them enjoying the warmth sinking into their skin.

I like this much better. A lot less shading, and more in my current "style." Don't know if I'm completely finished with this, though. May tweak a few things (some clouds would look nice in the background).

Also, my scanner is kind of crappy with picking up the detail in the shading. You can't even see the tufts of chest hair that I drew. :/ My dslr camera does a better job.

But enough of my whining... Enjoy. :)



Added a bit of background and recycled paper texture:


Now I think I'm done. :)

The two pictures make a lovely set, with the different perspectives. You really do have Penny & Sheldon "down" at this point. (lucky us!) Sheldon really does look like he's drifting off to sleep in the 2nd one, it's such a peaceful tone. As I see it, with the first one, the focus is on their bodies (his ribs, her curves, etc.) so I can see why you did a second one, if the idea was to match the tone of the drabble - you had to show their faces. Ok enough from me. thank you for sharing your exceptional talent with all of us!

I agree that the first drawing has its own strengths. Now, I look at it as more of a study that prepared me and loosened my lines up to draw the second one.

Thank you. :)
