Vintage: Lara Croft




























The previous posts showing my Capital of Culture project got me thinking about other past work I have created. Therefore, I searched my pictures saved to the hard drive in the hope to find some nostalgic material I had saved from extinction. Now that college has finished, I thought why not and so when I found this the memories immediately started flooding back. I remember, about 3 or 4 years ago, drawing Lara Croft from a battered copy of a Tomb Raider comic I had bought. I remember drawing it on an A3 sheet in pencil and trying to scan it into an A4 scanner (hence the missing toecap!), having to resort to scanning the drawing twice- the top half and bottom half. I then connected the two best as I could on Photoshop; this being the result. I still plan on adding colour to it at some point...

  2. Haha cheers Lis and be my guest, It would be cool if you added colour, you're way better at that kinda stuff than me haha.

    Thanks, it's strange; I don't use pencil that much anymore , mostly pen. I'm thinking about making a new sketch, but which character? There's way too many haha ;P

  3. Haha yeah there are loads of awesome characters you could pick from. If you're interested in comic books or character designs there's a really good magazine in WHsmiths called ImagineFX (you can google it too :P) it's aimed mostly at photoshop work and it's packed with tutorials etc so it could be right up your street if you enjoy this kind of stuff ;)
