Description I was doodling on a 'Compliments of Royal Investment Services' pad with a black ballpoint pen adorned with an image of a mummy (yeah, I know it looks like graphite) and ended-up with this. The actual sketch looks better. I am currently at home where I only have a crappy old version of Photoshop and a 'state of the art' monitor that makes everything looks pixellated, so the actual image may look a lot blurrier to you than it does to me.

Will probably also move this to Scraps later, but for now, eh, have some new fanart.

Archie (c) Studio B, Nelvana, and Teletoon.

I really enjoy how you draw Archie.

You do his nose and his (at least I find) common 'bored-ish' expression, but not -dead- expression.

And you give him a heckuva lot more hair then I can wihtout making him look like he's just been electrocuted. His is deffinately one of the hair-styles that is hard tocapture without also giving him enormous horns. Yet you seem to have done an excellent job.

(I'd love to know your secret )

Thanks! And oh yeah, I definitely get you there with Archie's hair -- I still have no idea how that cowlick/mohawk/whatever-it-is would look on a real person so that it's both realistic and recognizeable, and I'm not sure how the rest works (short and spiky, or slicked down?). But good to know that the fact that I give him more hair than he has in canon doesn't come-off too strangely.

(Lots of practice and changing character designs every once in awhile, I suppose )

You did a great job in giving this character a realistic quality. There is a lot of emotion in his eyes. Keep up the great work!

Thank you Hopefully, I can push the pseudo-realism a lot more eventually, but in the meantime, it's a start. Nice to know that I'm moving away from the blank stare at least though

That is the beautiful result of practice makes perfect. The more you draw the better you become and the more expression you can create in your characters features

Stay Creative!
