Silas Zee: Draculaura

Draculaura

2012.11.19

I've tried drawing Draculaura a couple times, but always screwed up something or another that made me give up. Maybe I'll post the false starts sometime...I dunno, they're pretty bad. XD I think it's mainly because Draculaura's got a petite and slender bodytype that I've never really drawn that well before.

I got this JC Penney version of the doll a week or so ago and really liked the dress and hairstyle she's sporting so I thought I'd try again. The initial sketch came out pretty well, but I tweaked a couple little things after I scanned the pencils. Namely I opened up her eyes a bit more and this seemed to turn the whole pic around (I was about to scrap the whole thing up to that point).

I tried to keep the proportions in line with that of the doll and the boxart, but her having such a big head and eyes made her look kinda weird with my art. So I decided to keep her coloring as simple as possible to give her as much of a cartoon quality as possible.
