Iron man! Iron man! Does whatever an...you know what, it doesn't work.

Art time! I promised Iron Man art, so damn it, I'm gonna deliver. Nothing slashy this time, just a practice sketch and a more detailed pencil drawing that took way longer than it should have.



First, my practice sketch (click to enlarge):


And a more realistic drawing (same):


Is it weird that I like the first drawing more? It's a kinda graceful little sketch. The second drawing, while more detailed, pretty much emphasizes everything I suck at when it comes to art. The background sucks, the line of sight is off, the character's position is awkward. It's an image cobbled together from several pictures, and it looks like it.

Still, it also looks like Robert Downey Jr, so not all bad.

Oh, and both of these were hand drawn in pencil, with a little charchol thrown in to darken areas of the second. Photoshop was used for resizing, brief clean up, and to compensate for my horrible scanner.

: / It happens to the best of us.

I shade things individually too. Normally my sketches all have an arrow pointing out the light source. :3 Stupid of me to not just shade as a group, but I majored in *looks left* *looks right* math.

No fear. I'm a nursing student. Creativity is often needed, but in a different way. :) And my mother has a masters in math, so I have no prejudice toward math people.

Oh wow, nursing. I could not do that. I can't even watch the surgery parts of M*A*S*H without feeling a little queasy, and they don't even show anything beyond a little red on the clothes.

w00+ for more female mathematicians. :3
