Peter Petrelli

Got my scanner hooked up finally, so here's that Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia) sketch I mentioned earlier. I'm not sure about the mouth, I was trying to capture that drooping lip thing he has sometimes, maybe I'll work on it later. Just started watching season 2 of Heroes, and despite starting off a bit slow, it's got me hooked again!

Scanner trouble

Hmmm, I was about to post a sketch I've just done of Peter Petrelli from Heroes, but just realised I can't scan it in. I've recently got a new PC and it doesn't have a serial port, which was how I connected my scanner to my old PC. So now I need to dig out the USB cable for the scanner. Where could I have put that??

Anyway, I've just come across a great site - www.heroesmedia.com - where you can find a load of screen captures from Heroes episodes. These are often better to draw from than photoshoot photos because the latter are always airbrushed and taken at flattering angles etc. so you don't see all the caricaturable features.

I'll post the sketch as soon as I find the elusive USB cable!

Faye Wong android sketch

Here's a quick study of Faye Wong (or Wang Fei) as the android stewardess wjw1967 in Wong Kar Wai's modern classic 2046. I was teaching English in China when this came out, and a lot of my students said they hated it because the story was hard to follow and didn't make much sense. But I think 2046 is more like a piece of art than a film. You watch it for its beauty rather than its story. If you haven't seen it, give it a try and you'll see what I mean. And if you like it, try In The Mood For Love too, it's kind of a prequel . . .
