"Doctor Who: The Fourth", July, 2009. Digital drawing in Photoshop.

Full view.

Let's pretend I drew this to coincide with July 4th. Yeah... that's the ticket!

Anyway.

This piece is a warmup drawing. A bit more involved than most warmups, but I liked where it was going.

It's of course of Tom Baker, the Fourth Doctor [Who]. While I had drawn him a lot during my childhood, my first "modern" drawing of him was in my piece The Ten Doctors -- [link] . While I was okay with it at the time, my opinion of most of the likenesses in that piece have soured, and I wanted to give it another go.

I kept the colors a bit more primary than usual, as I think it fits with this particular expression.

As always, I wasn't going for a full-on photoreal likeness, but a better comic book line work likeness in my own style. Much happier with this. There are tweaks I'd make, but if I ever get to a third try, I'm sure it'd be the charm.

Or perhaps the fourth?

ok, for me it's in fullsize, and my first thought at looking at this was most definitely, "Gak!".

Also, this was posted before dA's last update when all images were shrunk a bit, regardless of their full size. So more often than not a click on the image to expand was needed. This has since not become the case.

Now g'ahead and explain your comment. Thanks.

Well, yeah, Gak. His head is... rather... huge, I'd say. :D

Huge? There's no body so nothing in to relate it to proportion-wise. Other than that, that's what Tom Baker looked like. It's a portrait. Portraits have large heads quite often.

If you're taking about sheer-size on your screen - get a bigger screen. ;) It's only about a sixth of my screen at full-size.

Awesome! Really good job! :) Ahh I remember watching Four when the (Aussie) ABC replayed all the old eps. Good times, good times...
