More Bob and Grey Art Dump

[lb_lee]

Y'all know how this goes. New headmates = flailing sketches so I can draw them properly. (Because there was a period of roughly a month or two where I couldn't draw Biff for the life of me and that was quite the hindrance while making a diary comic.)



Bob was always a smidge shorter than me, but it's only now that it sinks in no, he's SMALLER than me now.  It's weird; his personality always made him seem bigger.  Now both him and Grey are frailer. (Also I just realized that Bob, who normally will jump on the newest shinies, has been wearing a hideous retro Casio calculator watch this whole time.  I guess he isn't immune to nostalgia.)

Grey carries a pocket notebook and pencil around with him everywhere and refuses to wear reading glasses, even though I have it on good authority that he needs them.




I suspect I'll be drawing him doing this gesture a LOT.


Like I said.


Why are you so hard to draw, Grey.  Why are you like this.  You emote, I've seen you do it, why are you so much harder to draw than Bob?  You're worse than Gigi.


Better.


Skin tone tests because color is still the bane of my existence.  Bleh.


Better.

And now to go stretch my shoulder and also get out of the light because wow that sure is a migraine.

Thanks! I really want to find more reference for old folks; I might have to do my old thing of chasing down people I know and going after them with sketchbook and tape measure, because it turns out that a lot of artist ref texts just STOP at like, age 30, and screw that!

Yea thats not very helpful

our typical strategy for finding references of sorts of people we want to draw is to google something like "60 year old woman" or "elderly couple" and poke around at image results until we find some things fitting (and another trick we do is if we need references of Japanese people, to do the search in Japanese, since the bias of English language results is overwhelmingly white), or we might think of specific people like ian mckellen and use them as a reference (typically multiple people)

but your thing of studying irl people directly sound like the best option! wish we had that hehe
