Turns Five
  2012.03.23
 
    
 I
really can't believe I've been drawing my girly-girl take on Optimus
Prime for five years now.  :O
 
 She's just a fan character, but Prima's always been my go-to gal when I
want to draw something or want to test some new technique.  As
complicated as her outfit is, she's still a ton of fun to draw and I
could almost doodle her in my sleep.  Because this is a pretty
important anniversary, I wanted to knock this out of the park.
 I'm not doing anything really new here, but it all had to be
extremely good.
 
 Usually when I draw a medium shot I use a regular notebook-sized board,
but here I drew Prima on an 11"x17" sheet of bristol so I could focus
on little details and so the inked lines would be really thin.  I
wanted to make the colors extra shiny so I had Carly wield her Energy
Axe so I could play with some edge lighting.
 
 In the end, this piece turned out just the way I wanted it to: Bold,
Glossy and Hot.  ^_^
