Ok, he isn't show accurate, but he IS toy accurate. I used RiD Rollbar as reference. I have yet to color him in and will do that when I find the time. Tell me what you guys think!

Just realized his gun is facing upward and I drew some parts too dark. Silly me, I drew this at midnight!

What kind of eraser do you use? Try a kneaded artist eraser. Its gray wrapped in plastic and in the shape of a rectangle. It should only cost about $3 dollars. That thing can erase your past if your not careful! :shock:

They are great; although they shouldn't even cost that much, unless they're the one thing that's more expensive in the States. I got a pack of two a couple of weeks back for 99p (about $2 the pair).

Not bad work there, Blitz. Obvoiusly, it's lacking somewhat in perspective, but that'll develop in time. I really like the face on him; there's a definite Animated feel to him.

Thanks, I am just learning to draw, so I will fix that in time after some practice

I actually don't use an eraser. I used Grim Squeaker's method of drawing with blue pencil, inking it, then scanning it in black and white. The blue was supposed to go away, but the dark parts remained. I will go look for those erasers sometime...

Well keep it up. You will get there.I cant draw almost anything, but Transformers are difficult for me. I haven't tried them to many times so who know might be next project. Also try a lighter blue pencil

Oops!

yeah dude sometimes if u use a blue thats too daek or lean too heavy on it u can end up leaving a shadow, it happens ot me sometime-so far the best thing i have found to draw the blue outline with is a Staedtler baby blue pen-they are dirt cheap and u can get em everywhere
