I'm so happy! After 27 hours it's finally done! The background was very fun to draw. The faces of the people were not in the picture so I had to make up faces which turned out to be fun! Please comment and critique!I put all the Work-In-Progress pieces in the scraps folder now:WIP 1: sketch WIP 2: Cobie Smulders WIP 3: Neil Patrick Harris WIP 4: Josh Radnor WIP 5: Jason Segel WIP 6: Alyson Hannigan WIP 7: clothing + beer WIP 8: table General description of the drawing:I just started a new project. I'm a huge fan of the TV show "how i met your mother" and I love all the characters so the logic step for me was to draw them.I thought that I hadn't done a "Work in Progress" series in a long time so here we go.First I had to find a nice reference picture. I wanted to do a drawing of the five of them sitting in their booth at McLaren's. I Found a nice picture online in a pretty good quality ( [link] ) but I didn't like that you couldn't see Barney and Lilly well in it so I searched for pictures of them individually that I could work into the picture, Barney: [link] and Lilly: [link] Then I printed them out in the correct size so they would match and so that it's easier to get the proportions right.As always I started with a sketch of the whole thing. I always have to make sure to get the proportions right because I don't wanna end up having Robin and Barney perfectly right and nicely drawn and then I mess up Lilly and everything is ruined. So when I first do a sketch of all of them I can be pretty sure the drawing will turn out ok in the end. Then I start drawing from left to right, and again I usually draw the heads first and then I fill in the rest; reason: see above.Elapsed time: 27 hoursMaterial:3 Reference picturesBristol paper (65x50cm)2b Pencil for sketchCretacolor Nero pencil Nr. 1(extrasoft), 2 (soft) and 3 (medium)tortillionseraserpencil eraser
