Catch-Up Month - Forbidden Planet Jen - Inked by BigGuido

Well, here's my inked version of "Forbidden Planet Jen". I did some re-working here and there and re-did Jen's face and hair to make her look more like Uncle Frank's vision of loveliness. NOT EASY! Anyhoo, much cursing and tubes of white-out later, it is finished. I am somewhat pleased with the results, but as I stated earlier, inking has never been one of my strengths. That being said, let me know what you think.

Inked on Strathmore smooth Bristol Board with Prismacolor Premier, Pitt and Micron Art Pens with corrections made with Montana Marker Acrylic Paint Pens. Time: Too $#%@ing long.

Catch Up Month - Forbidden Planet Jen by BigGuido

Over on the Apes & Babes Forum, Zeus suggested that I go back and do sketches for some of the old blog themes. I decided to take his advice and go back to what appeared to be the first theme - Jen from Liberty Meadows. I started a couple of sketches and after some messing around, decided to take a bit of inspiration from Uncle Frank's Star Trek Brandy and drop Jen & Company into one of my favorite 50s SciFi flicks, FORBIDDEN PLANET!  I also wanted to take a whack at drawing Robby the Robot too.

Drawn on Utrecht Vellum Surface Bristol Board with a variety of Utrecht drawing pencils and my trusty Rotring mechanical pencil. Time: 4.5 hours.
