Doctor McCoy

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock

Mini drawing of Doctor McCoy from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock that I drew in the note space of December 16th in my 2023 diary, which is the day that I watched this film for the first time.

I had an absolute nightmare drawing this one, which is why it’s so late. First it took me ages to get the facial features right, then I spent ages trying to work out just how many different colours there were in the image I chose, then meticulously blending them all on each part of the drawing. I knew that it was probably a bad idea to pick that specific reference, because of how many colours there were reflecting off of McCoy, but I went ahead with it anyway. I put quite a bit of pressure on myself for this one too, because this is my favourite of the Trek movies, and Dr McCoy is my favourite character, so I wanted this one to be especially good. However, I have never been so happy to complete a diary illustration before! I suppose I am happy with how he came out, but I still feel he could've been better. It took me from Dec 21st to Jan 13th to do the whole thing (granted I did take a break over Christmas and new year and then I got I’ll, so I suppose I should cut myself some slack).

By the time I got to writing in the title, I’d just about had it with the project, so I don’t really like how it came out. The font and colours are based on one of the original movie posters.

On the bright side though, this was the very last drawing I had to do in my 2023 diary! On to 2024 now…

Drawn with Lyra colouring pencils and B and HB graphite and mechanical pencils.

Process photos below cut. I’ve also added the reference so you can see the lighting in context of the full image and see how inaccurate my drawing is.

Happy De-day and happy birthday to Bones too!

They've both brought me so much joy over the past couple of years. I hope they know how much they're loved and missed.

Robert Fuller Vs. DeForest Kelley

Propaganda

Robert Fuller - (Laramie, Wagon Train, Emergency!) - I have loved this man ever since I was a teenager and first saw him in Emergency! There are so many fanmade music videos on youtube dedicated to this man and how hot he is! Everytime he says "good girl" on emergency I go weak in the knees! I adore this man, he's so hot!

DeForest Kelley - (Star Trek, Rawhide, Gunsmoke) - he has a delightfully droll, impish quality about him

Robert Fuller:

just a short blooper clip because he has a lovely laugh.

A short clip of him in Emergency!

DeForest Kelley:

very cool guy!! as far as I can tell he didnt get involved in any set drama, just took a step back and had a good time where he could. seems like a genuinely decent guy. all his cast mates on star trek said he was the best actor of them all

Happy birthday to late Deforest Kelley.
