Neglect

I posted this on Facebook, but neglected to do so here...
Lately I've been playing around with drawing in the style of the FX show Archer.
Actually, I've been doing that for a while - since before there even was an Archer - but recently I've been having slightly more success, as can be seen with this picture I did of Christina Hendricks:

Yep, it's a picture all right.

For The Record...

...it isn't just her boobs that makes me like Christina Hendricks:

Weirdly enough, the job I did painting her teeth is what I'm proudest of in this picture.

It's Not LIke I'm Letting Down My "Fans" Or Anything...

So it's a picture.
Of Christina Hendricks.

Christina Hendricks

I don't really have much more to say about it other than that I made so many mistakes and poor decisions in drawing this image that it's amazing that it turned out at all well, so I have to overlook the fact that it didn't come out at all the way I wanted it to. That's hardly new, of course, but I had a very specific idea of how I wanted the picture to look when I started it, to a greater extent than I do with any other picture I work on.
Of course, on the other hand, no one else knows how I wanted it to look, so I guess it doesn't matter
And even more to the point, no one cares how I'd wanted it to look.  It's not like I let anyone down by failing to achieve the look I was going for.
So, in short, I guess...fuck it.

National Treasure

I don't watch that show Mad Men, not because I dispute its quality - I'm sure it is, as its fans insist - a fine show, but simply because I try to keep the amount of TV-watching I do to a minimum.
However - its other reported qualities aside - the only reason I would consider watching it is to get a regular fix of actress Christina Hendricks:



Obviously the boobs have a lot to do with my appreciation of her, but I think she's just gorgeous in general with her overall curviness, her red hair (I know it's not natural, but it still looks great), porcelain skin, and those great big...eyes.
Also, yes: she has huge boobs. I mean, just huge.
They aren't quite as prominent in this picture as in many other pictures of her - such as can be found here - but there was much I liked about the picture that made me decide to draw it.
The other day while we were discussing some of the pictures at the site linked above via IM, Scott said, "She's a national treasure." I'd have to agree.
