I love the "Broken Glass" pic.One day I'm gonna sit down and draw the
whole thing (but it will take a whole day because I'll use 11x17
and be totally anal about the details). BTW, this was the first thing I'd
drawn in over a year and the second in over two years.
Heero, 18 Apr 2000, ~40 min -- Drawing Heero's mouth is always
a challenge.

Duo's mouth isn't always that easy either. And his cheeks... Please.
When I finally draw them right I'm gonna apply for Keeper of Duo's Cheeks.
H: Hn. His ass is mine! <puts hand on Duo's ass>
D: Yeah, my ass is his! <puts Heero's other hand on his ass>
LW: Not those cheeks, the ones on your face.
D: And what do you mean "trying" to look innocent. I always look
innocent.
LW/H: <look at each other, sweatdrops>

Even though
I picked a lot of holes in this one (you've been wondering what all those
scribbles on some of the pics are, haven't you), I like it!

Yes, the mouth is better here. But then Trowa's bang appeared out of
nowhere. I guess that makes this HeewaYuton (now there's a scary concept).
H: I can't believe you're posting this. Omae o korosu.
LW: <to audience> He's a bit touchy about the hair, y'know.
D: I kinda like it.
H: <The Ice Glare(tm)>
D: Uh, then again -- hey, at least we can see both your eyes.
Heero, 23 Apr 2000, ~2 hours
D: Hey, his mouth is MINE!
H: Hai!
LW: Yeah, but you two can't apply for keeper positions now, can
you?

I had
been struggling with Duo's face for several days. (You don't think I post
everything
do you?) I decided to just slam it out and leave it. This is based on the
pic of Duo in the dark blue jeans and black shirt that appears in one of
the art books.(Yes, I thought they were pajamas at first too, but look
at the seam on the legs and look at how the fabric bunches at the knee.
Denim, I tell you.)
D: I was born with all the pajamas I need.
H: Hai! <The Smirk(tm), grabs Duo's butt>
D: <grabs Heero's butt>
LW: If you two are gonna start that, just... go get a room.

The face
Mobile Dolls would fear if they had any sense (another frame grab). The
cheeky monkey is still throwing me with those cheeks. Maybe as the
prior picture was an older Heero I'll decide this pic is an older Duo.
(Did I mention I have over 180 frames of Duo so far?)
The results
of a couple of rather boring meetings at work. The suit appeared out of
nowhere. I think Heero likes it. I know I do. Yeah, OK, it isn't perfect,
but I can't lay out model sheets in a meeting. People start to think I'm
not paying attention. (The original is only about 2"x3". Even with a 0.5
mm lead, that's a pain.)
H: <dreamy look> It's the shoulder pads in the coat that do it.
LW: I think you're right. He is adorable dressed like that. Looks
like he's off on a job interview.
H: <looks at LW>
LW: <looks at H>
H/LW: <maniacal laugh>

This was
another one of those "just do it" pics. Usually I use 4 pencils for drawings
(4H, HB, 3B and 6B for the artist types who might be interested), but for
this pic I restricted myself to one (an HB). That's the main reason why
the tones aren't as rich as some of the other pics. Is it my imagination,
or do I generally do a better job on Duo's cheeks when I hurry?
H: <looking over LW's shoulder> Oh, those cheeks.
LW: Why would you want to look at my drawings when you can look
at the original?
H: Good point. <calls> Oh, Duuuuuoooooo...
D: Nani? <walks in naked>
H: <studies Duo>
LW: AAGH! You're still trying to get me to draw that damn shirt
from Soldiers and Fools, aren't you?
D: <scythe and black wings appear from nowhere, poses>
H: I think you got the hair a little too big in the back.
LW: <checks> Yeah.

Another quick Duo drawing. I've begun some concept sketches for a semi-original piece and wanted to spend some time working on a more "figure" drawing of Duo. The EW beach poster seemed like a good topic.
