My attempt at drawing Gen

Post by buslady »

I draw mostly Raphael stuff but I totall dig Gen, so here is my take on him. Just a quick doodle in Painter using the pencil option. If you wonder why the back of his neck is bulgy it's because rhinos have a huge muscle to hold up their huge skulls, so I made him a teeny bit more rhino that way. I always loved that cute smile he has, he's ALWAYS up to something looking like that.

Oh that's so cool. You've got a real knack with a pencil, that's for sure^_^

Yeah, Gen's a bit of a schemer. He seems so self-serving, but I get the feeling he's not as irredeemable as he wants others to think he is... Or for that matter, as he wants to think he is.

The sketchiness works great here, you've captured Gen's gruff but lovable nature very well! :)

Cool sketch!

Gen is such a great character, Stan should be considered a genius with his design.

Welcome to the Dojo, as well! 8)

Love the computer drawing.

I'm always amazed on how well computer programs like painter and photoshop mimic "real" pencil/pen/ink drawings. You techno artist make me want to learn those programs (but after my kids grow up and I have more free time :wink: )

Welcome to the Dojo! Thanks for contributing a lot of thoughts and your art.

Peace,

There is a lot of emotion in your lines that brings out Gen's character.

Very well done.
