Description
Now surely *someone* must know who this is!Dr Who #3, and the last one for a while, although Leela, Jon Pertwee (Dr3), Peri and possibly Romana are coming, if you have any idea who I am talking about (which I doubt)
So...this is Tom Baker, who played the 4th doctor, and is probably the best known of all the people who played the doctor....
I am quite pleased with this one, personally. The hair nearly killed me, as the photo wasn't really much use, and the top of his head was chopped off. I do have a habit of drawing from inadequate photographs!
Hope you like it! Please comment!

Creepy and happy looking at the same time, very appropriate for the Doctor!

Love it!! Tom Baker was the best Dr Who!!! Sadly so few people even know who he is at this point since David Tennant is the new Dr Who.

Thank you! I think Tom Baker is definitely getting more well-known now that the series is popular again. He's not actually my favourite Doctor (but neither is David Tennant) but I've always loved the series.

You're very welcome. You did a nice job on the drawing.

Another smash hit and I do know who your talking about, I've been in love with it all since the 70's!

Happily, the classic series has got more popular since the new series came out (I think this picture was done before Dr Who became cool again, but I'm not entirely reliable with dates!

This guy is so famous for Dr. Who!
BTW, is a new season of Dr. Who starting now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's a new season of the new series starting in 2010, I think, with a few specials next year.
btw, what happened to that wip of Rachel Hurd-Wood?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I honestly don't know what happened... I posted it up but it didn't show! Weird... But then again, my computer HAS been acting weirdly all this week.
2010, new Dr. Who? I've got to watch that!
And no problem! BTW, I found time to get charcoal pencils... Now I will experiment with them... It's a pity I only got 4 types: light, medium, dark, and Chinese White 72B.
I'll try reposting that Rachel Hurd-Wood.... If I can find it, that is! I think I lost my sketchbook somewhere around the house... Darn.

There's been a new Dr Who since 2005, but apparently we're getting Dr 11 in 2010. Don't ask me who, though, as I haven't a notion...
Me and charcoal don't get on. 
Let me know when you do post it, and I'll come critique for you.

Well, I don't get along well with charcoal either, but when my friend suggested that I get higher contrast, she bugged me to get charcoal pencils... It's going OK, charcoal and me, but there's no finite control. I hate that about charcoal.
Well, on the other hand, I can get a new one!
I wonder who's Dr. 11? I love the expression on David Tennant. PIty. He just looks so hilarious and quirky, that man.

I think charcoal is too messy for me.
Horror! My sketchbooks are pretty much permanently attached to me, so I don't accidently leave one somewhere.
David Tennant is really hard to draw. But I'll get there one day!

Things I don't like about charcoal:
-the texture is very undefined
-very messy--once I worked with charcoal and my blue jeans turned grey
-there's no finite control
-smudges too easily
-scratchy feel on paper
So basically, I think I'll stick to pencil. And I tried drawing Bourne again with charcoal--didn't turn out so well! I'll stick to my pencil version. *sigh* if I have time I'll try and re-draw Rachel Hurd-Wood. But right now I need to get a new sketchbook and now I'm working on a picture of Hayley Williams (sketch). Oh, did I mention I posted a picture of Jean-Baptiste Maunier? You're welcome to check it out. Let me know when you post up new deviations!

That's about my feelings, too.
Not sure when I'll get a new portrait up. I still need time!

Blecch... We're all busy. I'm still trying to finish a piece of writing, plus I have some family & social obligations. I stayed up until 12:00 last night--really not too bad for me--but woke up at 5:00. And I could fall asleep now. I don't think I have energy to do much...
And thanks for the advice... Jean-Baptiste Maunier DOES look a bit washed out. That was the first thing I noticed when I completed it; it was just that I have a humungous 6-part thingydo to work on and that took 2 weeks. I don't think I've even gotten to bed before 12:00 over the past 2 weeks!

I know the feeling! I have a terrible headache, and just want to go and sleeeeeep. But it isn't really an option, unfortunately!
I really must get round to a tutorial on contrast.....

Do me a favour: get some rest as soon as you can! The tutorial can wait--I think your health is more important...

I only have a headache because of the weather.

Is it really hot right now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, but the air feels thunderstormy. It's quite cool for November, actually, quite unnaturally so...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thunderstormy? It's almost never thunderstormy where I live! But the winters are pretty cold. I vaguely remember freezing in school while I was a kid and my fingers freezing stiff so that I couldn't write.
Well, Rachel Hurd-Wood turned out looking HORRIBLE. I think I must have bad luck with that picture. I'm just re-touching my Romola Garai portrait right now.

I don't much mind thunderstorms (providing I don't have to be out in one
I don't think you'd find our winters cold (I do though!
I have bad luck with pictures sometimes, too. It's always so annoying!

For me, I always hate it when the sun is shining weakly through this expanse of white clouds in the sky (You know, where the whole sky is white)--I alway feel slightly nauseous. It's just very annoying.
The coldest winter here, it wasn't snowing (where I live, we're too trapped in a valley for it to snow) but I was wearing my wool coat and I was freezing with a sweater underneath, a shirt, and silk underwear underneath all of that! It was so cold, it was difficult to move.
I think I'm having bad luck with the Hayley Williams picture too... I think I'll take a break from drawing for a little while...burnout.

I always wear a ridiculous number of clothing layers, and I still get cold (and I bet it's no where near as cold as it gets for you!)
Maybe you should try drawing something other than a portrait- radically different in style. That often helps me with burnout. Or, of course, a break is good.
Thanks for the

I drew Aragorn from LOTR. Meh. It turned out OK, but I screwed up the eyes and the lips are impossible...Ah, well. At least he looks like he has high cheekbones.
I'll just say that the so-called Aragorn is supposed to be the way I envisioned God to look like. LOL.
And no problem on 'The Umbrella'!

You never post these pictures!

I will post them up soon... As soon as I finish reading 100 pages of Anna Karenina. *smiles mysteriously*
I'll probably post them up tomorrow.

I look forward to them, then!

OK! Not my best... But oh, well.

wow your shading's a million times better than the one I did of the same picture! xD good work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thankyou!
The shading on your picture, however, is not at all bad. You probably spent less time on it than I did, too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ay happens to me with my pictures too lol. You start not liking them and don't really like looking at them at all
yes but that's my problem! I don't spend enough time on them!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's true.
And yes, patience may be a virtue, but it's hard to keep it steady when you've finished the more interesting parts of a drawing. I still have to force myself not to rush the drawing of things I'm less interested in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh good for you!
I totally agree, it is hard not to rush that...but I have to say I don't really find any parts boring to draw on the Doctor! xD except the shoes. I cannot draw shoes for my life.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I find repetitive things, like lace, or knitting, horrible to draw. I want to rush and get them over and done with - but if I do, they don't look any good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*sigh* and the doctor just HAS to have a 20 foot knitted scarf XD
you're right--especially when the face is beautiously drawn and then the clothes are horrible, it just kills the product's overall excellence XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. Sometimes you can get away with just suggesting clothing, it depends on the drawing style, but generally well-drawn clothes, backgrounds etc just add to the overall drawing.

I just drew a picture of Sarah Jane and the Doctor and I really tried to make it look finished, and I think it does look a million times better than I probably would have left it by!
