the art of Will Terrell

This likeness turned out a little better for Mr Vader I think.  though I still see lots of room for improvement.  Whats weird is that I thought I lost this one several times because I over-inked the thing, but was somehow able to bring it back in the painting process.  Its funny how that works.  I almost never scrap drawings now, because I know if I’m patient with them, eventually they’ll come out alright.

I’m going to try a few more portraits if I have time outside my freelance work.  After a handful of those, I might try for an actual “Star Wars” style illustration, the way Drew Struzen makes it look so effortless.  Till then, I’m having fun practicing.

Continuing with the Star Wars theme, I Decided to take a crack at painting Darth Vader.  Definitely takes some work to get the costume right.  Especially on the helmet.  I think this turned out well, and I’m anxious to try it a few times till I get the result I’m looking for.

I love Star Wars.  I need to do more Star Wars art.  Its so much fun.  Except when your airbrush is acting up and you end up breathing in too much atomized paint.  *Coff* *cof*

This was a quick illustration, using pen/ink, prisma markers, airbrush and acrylic paints.  About 10″x10″.   Its from a stormtrooper design I saw in a toy magazine.  Coruscant trooper, or something like that.  Pretty cool.

Another warm-up sketch, another warrior woman.  Guess I got a theme going.  I like how she turned out.

I have a lot of work on my plate these days.  So of course there’s plenty of time to draw random warrior women to avoid the deadlines.  Just kidding.  This was a quick warm-up sketch from earlier tonight.  Its been a long time since I used French gray prizma markers, and I forgot how nice they are for doing figure sketches.  I like how this one turned out.  The pen/ink turned out well too.

By the way, this sketch is available to buy for anyone that’s interested. Just click the “buy now” button below.

This is a pencil sketch I did last week, and I colored it up last night (with a mouse, if you can believe it).  I am pretty happy with how she turned out!  I’ve always loved Harley Quinn.  I’m trying something new.  I am going to offer this as a print!  I’ve added a paypal button.  The print is 5×7 on high quality rag paper.

I like how Lara looks in this drawing!  I’ve been drawing more mainstream characters this week to sell at conventions.  I had never really attempted to draw popular characters simply because for a long time I knew there were so many people that could do it better than me.  But I’ve done quite a few this week and I’m really happy with how they turned out. I’ll try to do more of these.  And I’ll post the others that I’ve done when I come back next week.

I’ll be in Dallas this weekend for the Dallas Webcomics Expo.  A comic convention celebrating webcomics.  I’ll be doing a computer coloring workshop with Joel Watson at 2:30 for anyone that will be at the show.
