The family went shopping and I got the itch to do some sketching. So I sat down with Photoshop, found a reference photo of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and started sketching. I’m trying to find my own style, but I’m definitely still in the imitation phase. Today I was imitating the styles of Ashley Wood and Bengal with some Shane Glines thrown in. When I have more time I’ll post links to their sites.

The sketch doesn’t look like Sarah Michelle Gellar very much, but that wasn’t the point. I was trying to get the pose to feel natural and dynamic. Style was semi-real, but leaning towards comic book or cartoony like in Batman the Animated Series. The colors were desaturated and messy to make it feel less computery.

Turned out pretty decent and makes me want to practice drawing more.
