Below are my first attempts at drawing Mr. Sagan. the one on the upper right was by far the best out of these first attempts. I have a weird Spock looking one, one Alfalfa-esque, and the other one has a more Richard Dawkins kind of thing going on. the first thing my eyes went to was his eyes, brows, and nose so i first focuse my attention there. I was also working on his smirk that he always seems to have.


This is the second to last page i worked on, i decided to just take a picture and draw it not as cartoony but still exaggerating on features so i know where to apply emphasis. As it turned out my eyebrows were a little off and he needed a buldge on the chin which I was also putting to far down.

It still needs some work but until then enjoy Mr. Sagan explaining numbers that are more than billions and billions!
CARL SAGAN RULEZZZ! I <3 "the Cosmos." Its a shame he has such a evil looking face. It doesn't help his cause very much, I don't think. I like that you posted all your trys on his face and stuff. That takes guts, mi amigo. Billions and Billions of guts. If you want my opinion, and you very well may not. I think you're making a big mistake by leaving out his bottom lip. Thats all I got. Keep rockin.
ReplyDeleteoh no, actually your opinion is very helpful! I will try and do that. Actually i just got the entire Cosmos Series on DVD so now i'll have lots of frame grabs and good references!
ReplyDeleteI like to post the tries, i wish more people did, seeing the process is fun!
