Tenth Doctor sketch 1

Tenth Doctor, sketch 1, by Amy Crook

Tenth Doctor, sketch 1,
by Amy Crook

I have finally accepted the inevitability that I’ll end up drawing Doctor Who cartoons, and as such worked up this little sketch of the Tenth Doctor. I’m not sure I’ve quite got his chin and mad hair working yet, but the costume is just right.

After the week I’ve had, I could use a good cuppa. Shall I pour you one, too?

Tea Mug sketch

Tea Mug, sketch by Amy Crook

Tea Mug, sketch by Amy Crook

This little sketch christened my new pocket sketchbook! I drink my tea super cream-and-sugary (mmm half’n'half), so the white at the bottom is actually my drink. I didn’t let myself spend too long fussing over perspective or shading, so it’s got a funky slant I quite enjoy.

Have a cup on me this Sunday — what’s your favorite sort?

Sherlock Bookmark 3

Sherlock Bookmark 3 by Amy Crook

Sherlock Bookmark 3 by Amy Crook, $13.13

Bookmark week continues with another Sherlock Holmes!

He skulks on this black bookmark in pencil, which makes his details vanish at the wrong angle, though the graphite catches the light nicely at the right angle. I painted in his green eyes, red buttonhole and blue scarf on a whim, and I like the way those little details leap out of the page at you.

Sherlock Bookmark 3, 1″x5″ pencil and watercolor on paper, $13.13 with free shipping.

You can really see his detailing in the detail photo, above, and of course I couldn’t resist a shot of him peeking sneakily up out of a book, below.

Bee sketch

Bee of Whimsy sketch by Amy Crook

Bee of Whimsy sketch by Amy Crook

This whimsical little bee is quite fashionable in his hat, scarf, gloves and boots. He’s out getting a bit of pollen for the hive, but just because he’s working doesn’t mean he can’t be dapper.

Potions Master

Potions Master sketch by Amy Crook

Potions Master sketch by Amy Crook

I did a pair of Snape sketches a few years back, and I found this one lurking on my hard drive when I went looking for pieces to round out the week. They were sent off to friends who hopefully still appreciate them, and I’ve always liked this one a bit better of the two (ssh, don’t tell). I’d originally bought this paper hoping to do the trick with black & white Conte pencils, but the paper itself was too pale for the white to work will. Still, it’s come in handy for other pieces like this one — one thing I’ve learned over the years is that art supplies will always be useful someday!

Potions Master, 6.375″x4.25″ pencil on paper, nfs.

Look out! Rawr!

This guy was totally inspired by the art in the credits of How to Train Your Dragon. He just wants some fish and a head-scratch, really!
