Birthday Gift: Jim Hawkinsby =JeffrettaLyn

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Movies & TV

I made this as a birthday present for the awesome ~StarInsomniac2009. She's always wanted a handdrawn picture of Jim from Disney's Treasure Planet.

I sketched the line art from a screenshot, and then added my own shading, trying to bring Jim 'to life' a bit. I've been practicing on correct shadowing, and I know there are alot of mistakes here, but I'm pleased with how it came out. I'm most pleased with the pistol textures, I think. And least pleased with the background. To clarify, this is the first time I've done crosshatching. Ugh.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking!

Tips and critiques are very welcome!

This looks pretty well done for someone who said they've done cross-hatching for their first time. A lot of thought has been put into trying to bring Jim to life, and I appreciate the effort.

"Sketched the lineart from a screenshot" - I hope it isn't tracing! Sure he looks badass in this pose, but I think maybe forming a better expression in his face will help, maybe showing his eyes slightly squinted and tense, instead of how it appears calm here, would help.

The cross-hatching is good, and the gun has a nice texture. But I'm iffy about the lack of shading, and the tonal range on Jim's skin (especially the face) is limited, whereas in the background it seems to go all the way to a very dark colour. It helps bring out the negative space, but Jim's neck looks really flat if this was zoomed out. I also hoped that the gun had more shine, I know in the movie it looked like it didn't, but it's made out of metal, so giving it a more austere gloss may help emphasize the metallic surface. But overall, it's quite alright, not so mediocre if you count the effort into this.

Protip: When reffing off a screenshot next time, treat what you see as basic shapes first, before forming the character. Take into consideration the mood you're trying to set from that screenshot, which will help freeze the emotions down just right.

What do you think?

the awesomeness to this character also comes from his voice actor Joseph Gordon Levitt

Jim would be a douchebag had he been voiced by Shia LaBeouf

=JeffrettaLyn Dec 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I actually think Shia LaBeouf would have been a decent choice. He voiced Cody Maverick in Surf's Up, and that character and Jim Hawkins are pretty similar. Gordon-Levitt did an excellent job, though.

~movieman410 Dec 21, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

well i respect your opinion i just dont like him i tried not to be a Shia LaBeouf hater but it's too hard he just annoys me

=JeffrettaLyn Dec 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank for respecting my opinion, I also respect yours. There are some people that just annoy me as well, lol.

~movieman410 Dec 21, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

are there any movies or celebrities that people hate/love that you cant stand/ or dont get

=JeffrettaLyn Dec 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Movies I cant stand? The Twilight series. Everyone makes such a big deal over them.
Actors/actresses I can't stand? Diane Keaton, Sandra Locke, and Spencer Tracy.
Some of my favorite actors are Bruce Willis, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, and Cary Grant.

I love most animated films, or at least can tolerate them. One major exception is Happy Feet. It just really annoyed me, lol.

How about you?

~movieman410 Dec 21, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

1 major movie that everyone loves but i hate is American Pie i watched it 3 times and i still dont get it i didnt think it was funny, and none of the characters were likable

i'd have to delve deeper to think of others but thats one i can think off the top,

=JeffrettaLyn Jan 1, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Never seen American Pie, but Animal House didn't thrill me. That seems to be popular
