Similar to a couple of previous Free Draw Fridays, I have two more old, unfinished sketches in my app; unlike those, these two were properly backed up at their last modification, they're just still WIPs. I'm getting tired of them sitting there incomplete, so, time to finish them up! This here is a portrait of my fictional character, Minot, ND Chief Of Police Don Bowen. Yes, he does much resemble another police character, Sheriff Wayne Rhoades; this is neither intentional nor unintentional, in my head they do resemble each other somewhat, though Bowen is a little stockier and Rhoades is more intimidating. His eye color is conjectural, though I did find a file from 2017 that describes them as brown. Speaking of his eyes, they bug me for some reason. Anyway. This is originally dated August 29, 2019, from when I started getting into trying to draw my characters, and is rather outdated since I fiddled around a bit since then to try fixing the weird forehead proportions that started to show up. It's actually not too bad a drawing, just outdated. But I'm finishing and sharing it so I can check another WIP off my list. There is ONE more unfinished sketch...but I've never been able to determine which character, if any, it is. 😕 I plan to finish it soon anyway. [Don Bowen 2019-2020 [Friday, May 1, 2020, 9:57:06 PM]] 2/17/21: Redo of Minot police chief Don Bowen. He resembles Sheriff Wayne Rhoades a lot, yes, partly due to my difficulty differentiating faces but also because they're both big, gruff, imposing guys (with brown hair). I picture Rhoades as being a bit more lean and angular but didn't pull that off well in his art. Bowen's stockier and his features are a little "softer" and more rounded. This time around, I tried making him look a bit older as well, with slightly graying hair and lines under his eyes, indicating years of stress and worry (which he covers up pretty well while on the job). His original art with crazy eyes is HERE. I'm now taking to creating incomplete Toyhou.se profiles with just the basics currently and the more detailed stuff to come later, so stop on by there later on for Bowen's shiny new page! EDIT, I guess it'd help if I included MY LINK, huh...? Derp. ...Have I mentioned I have a slew of invite codes? And nobody to invite. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just tossing that out there... I'm not sure who I'm doing next! Even though I'm not happy with them all (Jenner...ugh), this is all the outstanding redos, I think! Who shall it be??
