Martha gets to dress up
Feb. 13th, 2009 09:52 amMartha Jones has a day out (original) and edited version after people's suggestions (and a better reference pic).
This picture satisfies two of my recent artistic resolutions: first, the last lot of fanart really drove home to me the fact that my art and shading style really only suits drawing pale skinned people with pale hair and pale clothing, which is kind of limiting, so I need to practice more people with dark skin/clothing/hair(*).
Second, since I've gotten into this whole fanart/fanfic thing I should have fun illustrating my personal canon.
And something that bugged me about season 3 of Dr Who is that Martha never got to dress up! Rose and Donna did. And I bet Freema Agyeman would look great in a pretty period dress. EDIT: And indeed she does (from "Little Dorrit", which I haven't seen)
Unfortunately, I didn't entirely succeed on either front: my shading and art didn't quite meet the challenge, and the dress didn't come out as pretty as I would have liked. But there's no progress without practice!
(*)You'd think I'd have enough practice from drawing myself, hair wise, but I can never be bothered doing shading on my journal comics so its not so much of an issue.
