Daily Creativity: Deadwood Cast

I love Deadwood, the HBO series, and yet I avoided watching it for years. I know so many people who love it but it just didn’t seem like my kind of show. I’m not really into westerns, and that’s what it looked like. This show is so not a western. I started watching it mainly because my friends started an introcast about it called Hooplecast (go listen to that, it’s a lot of fun, and loooooong episodes). I was still hesitant to watch it, since it wasn’t on netflix, but another friend had said he’s be a newbie listening along and sending in feedback. Then that friend passed away, and I felt a nice way to honor him was to take up that pledge myself.  I’m so happy I did. This show is fun. Why didn’t anyone tell me it was swearing in iambic pentameter? My favorite characters aren’t what most people’s favorite characters are. Jane is my number one favorite, followed by Elsworth and the Doc.

I figured if I was going to draw some of the cast I had to have Al and Seth, it’s a given. I couldn’t draw the main cast that’s on the DVDs though, no Jane!  Jane had to be in there, she’s just too great. I have grown to love Al’s character, but I don’t love Al. I like how awful he is and how complex he is. I feel like I should have drawn some dirt on Jane’s face, but was afraid it might make it hard to see her. After drawing Doc I got the feeling that his hair is really fluffy. I get weird thoughts when I draw.
