- Diversion - Brooke sketch

Hawk on July 3, 2006

Here's another quickly done sketch I did for reference material. Brooke has quickly become one of my favorite characters to draw. Once again, this is just something to hold you over until my update on Friday, because I missed last Friday's update.

Red Slayer asked how I did the lighting effects in the last picture. The truth is that there's really nothing special about the effects used in the Alec sketch, just knowlege I picked up while looking at chrome and shiny objects. And even then, since the whole picture was quickly done, I didn't devote as much time to the reflective armor as I could have. But to replicate a good reflective look on something, my advice is to look at images of chrome stuff like bumpers and hubcaps.

I'm not especially happy with the way some things turned out in this artwork, but maybe another time I'll post the character sheets that this artwork contributed to, where at least some of my mistakes are fixed.
