A little sneak peek on my Ken Washio 11-18 age reference sheet! His hair is still just an outline because I may change it. Plus, that is one gloriously thick mane and I need to see the underlying skull structure to keep his changing kiddo to adult proportions accurate while I draw the rest of the faces for this sheet. I'll have a better idea of what I'm doing once I get the row of profile views and 3/4 views drawn. He's so sweet faced he always looks a little younger than he really is. Where as Joe probably wouldn't have had any trouble walking into a bar after, say, 15. 😆 #drawing #drawingpeople #pencilsketch #anime #oldschoolanime #saturdaymorningcartoons #guardiansofspace #kentheeagle #kenwashio #gatchaman #battleoftheplanets #charactersketch #charachtersheet #artistsonpatreon #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

@Regranned from @srj_art - Before Hunk and Pidge, there was Ryu and Jinpei! My two favorite idiots. Ryu’s laughing expression turned out pretty genuine if I do say so myself. Pencil render for watercolor prep is complete!!!! So. We will see if I have the nerve to tape both of these pieces down and start slapping watercolors on them. Need to do some quick scans first though. #drawing #lineart #oldschoolanime #anime #gatchaman #fanart #guardiansofspace #battleoftheplanets #ryutheowl #jinpeitheswallow #lovetheseidiots #saturdaymorningcartoons #illustrationinprogress #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsonpatreon #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art Tom's Take On Things - #regrann

Irritation and disgust crammed into one face! Jun is not a fan of bugs. Especially that palm sized beetle Jinpei decided to bring home. #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #draweveryday #gatchaman #juntheswan #battleoftheplanets #princess #anime #oldschoolanime #guardiansofspace #charactersketch #charachtersheet #saturdaymorningcartoons #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsonpatreon #samantha_johnson_art

Last edition of “My Shirt Is Cooler Than Yours!” (….for now…). It was only my favorite design and it took TeePublic 4 tries to get it right, but they delivered. Two wrong-sized tees and a weirdly printed one later, I finally have a Gatchaman shirt!!! If you can hear screaming, that would be my inner 12-year-old. These are totally the Condor's colors. 😁 On another note, I have two accidental small women’s v-necks in the same Navy Blue color with this design, so if there are any petite Gatchafans following me who want one, message me! I’m only asking for you to cover shipping, and the shirts really do look fantastic. I also have a medium with the artwork on the stomach that is unflattering as hell, but if someone wants to use the art to make a pillow or whatever, you’re welcome to that too. Otherwise you can find this awesomeness on @teepublic via Matthew Parsons a.k.a. @fanboy30.

Worked on my Jun head sketch test page today. That initial drawing on the left is already changing a little as I work the 3-D imaging magic in my brain. Like Ken and Joe she's getting a full translation from her vintage 70's anime form into my own stylization, and by the time I'm done with this page, drawing her should be second nature. Tomorrow I'd like to work on adding faces with a wider range of emotion. #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #draweveryday #gatchaman #juntheswan #battleoftheplanets #princess #anime #oldschoolanime #guardiansofspace #charactersketch #charachtersheet #saturdaymorningcartoons #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsonpatreon #samantha_johnson_art

Progress on the pencil rendering prep for watercolors!

Oh hey, look what I dragged out again. And by dragged out I mean finally finished tweaking the line art to print it onto watercolor paper so I can paint it since my print beast is up and running. And that only took several hours because said print beast decided to be difficult and I’m also a dumdum who forgot what settings I needed to use. FUN. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the digital versions, they’re pretty much done. I did that mainly for practice and to figure out how to pull this crazy color scheme off. The watercolor versions will be the real deal. And they’ll be mine all mine! You no can have. But I might finally sell the original line art once I finish painting this insanity. Maybe. Anyway. Pencil shading to start, color to follow!

Bird styles are ready for paint, on to the civies version! Again with the graphite rendering for watercolor prep. Because I want to make damn sure I like those shadows before I make them permanent. #drawing #lineart #pencildrawing #illustrationinprogress #fanart #gatchaman #anime #oldschoolanime #guardiansofspace #battleoftheplanets #scienceninjateam #scienceninjateamgatchaman #kentheeagle #joethecondor #juntheswan #jinpeitheswallow #ryutheowl #artistsonpatreon #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

Gatchaman age sheet time lapse! Hair will get added after I finish these faces. Next up, age 17! Which I might render live on Facebook from my personal account in like...45 minutes. I need to go make and eat food before I get violent. 🔥💀🔥💀🔥💀 #pencilsketch #anime #oldschoolanime #timelapse #saturdaymorningcartoons #drawingvideo #instavid #artvideo #guardiansofspace #kentheeagle #kenwashio #gatchaman #battleoftheplanets #charactersketch #charachtersheet #practice #artistsonpatreon #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

Still have a LOT of work ahead of me on this character sheet. But this is a start! 12-year-old Joe still needs hair. Haha it's probably going to be a mess. 😆Now I just have to finish filling in 13-17. Yepp. Puberty is gonna hit this kid like a brick wall. #drawing #drawingpeople #pencilsketch #anime #oldschoolanime #saturdaymorningcartoons #guardiansofspace #joethecondor #gatchaman #battleoftheplanets #charactersketch #charachtersheet #artistsonpatreon #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

Gatchaman vs. Gatchabrat! Those ears. *snerk* Kiddo is sweet faced, but don't be fooled. I guarantee that for every instance of trouble the mini Science Ninjas find themselves in, Ken is equally guilty. He's just better at getting away with shit than Joe. Once I finish this row of faces I'll rough in eagle boy's hair evolution as well. Which gets reset between 13-14 because someone, I won't name names, but someone shaved his head while he was sleeping. Probably out of annoyance and revenge. #drawing #drawingpeople #pencilsketch #anime #oldschoolanime #saturdaymorningcartoons #guardiansofspace #kentheeagle #kenwashio #gatchaman #battleoftheplanets #charactersketch #charachtersheet #artistsonpatreon #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

Test expression sketches continue! That's right, Jun. You don't have to take any crap from the boys. Ever. Also, if Jun's sad face never broke your heart, you don't have one. #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #draweveryday #gatchaman #juntheswan #battleoftheplanets #princess #anime #oldschoolanime #guardiansofspace #charactersketch #charachtersheet #saturdaymorningcartoons #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsonpatreon #samantha_johnson_art

Yeah so kudos to me for choosing one of the most annoying angles to draw Joe's helmet at. These things are friggn difficult to begin with. 😤 #drawing #lineart #workinprogress #anime #oldanime #gforce #gatchaman #guardiansofspace #kentheeagle #scienceninjateam #joethecondor #70scartoons #draweverydamnday #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

You know what's hard? Translating a simplified anime character into a much more complex style. You know what's really freaking hard? Translating said character into a a complete person who can be viewed from a full 360 degrees and keeping everything consistent. You know what's insane? Trying to do this from an old animation in which said character's features are not totally consistent in every shot. So yeah, still drawing Ken, and as much as I'd like to punch him for being difficult, this is actually a great challenge. I have 3-4 more faces I'd like to add to this page and then I'll start a new page and try to catch some of his more pleasant expressions. And that will continue until I'm happy with both my speed and accuracy....Practice! I think I'm going to take a break from Eagle boy here though, and attempt drawing the Condor for a bit. #drawing #drawingfaces #practice #anime #oldschoolanime #gatchaman #scienceninjateamgatchaman #scienceninjateam #kentheeagle #battleoftheplanets #guardiansofspace #pencilsketch #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art
