Description trying out some pens and markers. not exactly what you can call an inking, but a great exercise, because there was no pencil concept involved. black colour on paper, no corrections.

Hihi, there is my icon under the pic!

Thanks again for this gorgeous present!!! *hugs you*

I still think he looks a bit sad on that pic, despite your "he's supposed to look concentrated". But maybe that's just my sadness because I miss Ten.

Nice job! I think possibly tha black lines in his hair coul have been a tad cleaner, but other than that your shading is really good!

greyfin In reply to moemoe1 [2010-08-24 07:32:56 +0000 UTC]

thanks. and you're right. i always get lazy around the hair when i draw portraits. the fast style often looks "expressive" (less than impatient ) in pencil, but i found out that doesn't work without any shading...

I've often wondered how David Tennant chose his name.

I know in RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) has this thing where you can't use your name if someone else has registered with RADA under that name, so there probably was a David McDonald registered with RADA already, which is why David McDonald had to change his name. But why David Tennant?

I have a theory.

So David McDonald is in the local student bar with his mates and he's pondering his career in acting, thinking about giving it up since he'd have to changehis name and he can't think what to, so his friend goes up to get the rounds in and asks if everyone wants their usuals.

"Steve, McKewan?" Steve nods, he likes his McKewan export,
"Alex, Guiness?" Alex replies "Aye" 'cause he likes his Irish Stout,
"David, Tennents?"

And suddenly a thought comes to David McDonald.

actually the young teen-tennant-to-be looked into "smash hits" and named himself after neil tennant from the pet shop boys.
he told that on tv ("friday night project"?).
sorry to burst your bubble.
