It might seem weird (not on Tumblr though probably) to think so seriously about fucking 'Guess Who’, but these aren’t made-up issues this is real-life stuff that I think about. And on top of that it reinforces the idea of gender as binary (male or female as the only options). but also BEING A WOMAN, which results in classic Guess Who having only five female characters, problematic not only because women are bizarrely underrepresented but also because of the implication that masculinity is normal while femininity is deviant. Your original, traditional Guess Who characteristics follow a 5:19 pattern: out of the 24 characters, five will share a particular feature that deviates from the (arbitrary) norm. And then seeing which characters come out on top in this stripped-down, bare-essentials genetic lottery. It was fun and interesting to generate faces like this to be taken by surprise by my own drawings, as if I was watching someone else draw. I just copied the information over from the graph. I had no idea what each character would look like until I’d finished drawing them. Drawing the faces, I made some artistic choices of course, but for the most part the faces you see contain the same data as the big, messy graph that came first. Here’s my page of notes for my ‘Guess Who’-alike game board below it, the final product. (I adjust the blacks in photoshop anyway, of course, but I wanted this picture to look nice in my sketchbook, since I’d already put so much effort in anyway.) Die Hard Alan Rickman cartooning lips process by me drawing I made them nice and solid by going over them with a dark blue copic-type marker. I coloured the blacks of the sky and of Hans’ suit with a brush pen - the same I used for the linework - so they looked a little ‘streaky’. It’s not always practical to draw them, I know. Lips might be as important as eyebrows to facial expressions. You’ll learn a lot about mouths.Ĭartoonists: consider drawing lips more, on your characters. Try drawing him someday use a bunch of different reference pictures, or video if you can. (And I didn’t really, here, but somehow it works regardless.) I’ve decided his mouth is the key to drawing a decent Rickman. ( Available as a print, yes.)Īlan Rickman has a face that’s hard to get right. Some progress shots of that thing from the other day.
