Dr. Who



I've been meaning to color my Dr. Who leftling for a while. I finally found the time. I wonder what he'd say if he saw it.

what's this all about?

    Years ago I realized that if tried to draw with my left hand wonderful things happened. Since then I've explored the technique in both personal and commercial projects. The drawings have made it to a number of printed and online publications. I've finally yielded to the blog fever and decided to give them a home here.

    In other words: I am right handed. I draw like this with my left hand.

the technique

    My technique changes from time to time, depends on circumstances, the mood and what I'm after but here's a rough step through to give you an idea:

    I've found the best results happen when I jump straight to ink. With a thin pen I draw the basic structure of the composition. With a sharp pencil I add some more texture to give it some depth. Sometimes I cheat by keeping my left hand still in midair and moving the sketchbook instead. Since the core of the drawing has been done I pass around the outline with a thick pen quickly with my right hand. Finally I scan the drawingand when I think it needs it I add some textures in Photoshop.
