Some recent sketches

Here are just a few sketches I've done more recently. This is that weird character I made from before.
This was a little composition test that I did. I started with a really rough drawing. I then made a more tonal version with the cropping that I thought would work if it was a movie, or postcard or something like that. I'm planning on doing a final version of this where I fix the perspective and refine it. In order to see the curvature of the earth you'de have to be above a 19 floor building, so that's one tall building she's on. 0_0 you know for a character that is more slapstick comedy...this picture is kind of mellow-dramatic isn't it.
 Ever since I saw the movie Coraline I fell in love with these types of hats. There was a scene in the movie where the Coraline character wears this adorable little hat and I looked it up. They're called newsboy caps, baker boy caps, fisheman caps, cabi caps and so on. I really love the way they look so I gave my character a flat top newsboy cap. There is one hat I love in paricular and I'd love to get my hands on it. It's the Burberry baker boys hat in black (not velvet). I've searched around because when I first saw it online I started to save up for it. Sadly it was dicontinued or something because I can't find anyone selling it anymore. 0v0 If any of you out there come across it message me up :-)
With these pictures I wasn't going for totally clean and correct and such. They're just tests. That hand is really messed up though 0_0
I made a Sculpey figure of this character so I could try that anamorphic thing again. I also tried to mess around with the perspective this time too.
 I'll post some pics of the figure I made, but I'm thinking of making a seperate page for that. This is a "linear" drawing I did. I'll do this so I can get a feel for where everything is (even if I have already made a sculpture). It lets me rotate things in my head a little better.



I know there are multiple pictures here, but the weird thing is that the picture looks different depending on what way you look at it.






I need to work more on skewed perspectives and such. I'm thinking of using one of these for something, but I've been debating over a few backgrounds I've tried out.
