So, in preparation for That Fanart Thing I Was Talking About, I've been spending the past few days staring at pictures of Katy Manning and furiously scribbling. I still haven't got back in the habit of drawing bodies (at least, not-from-life bodies), but her face isn't quite as difficult as it was before the sketching session started.

I'm nowhere near ready to embark on this Epic Fanart Project, of course - I've yet to make a spirited attempt at drawing Three, and until I can draw them both consistently I don't want to even start - but Jo's getting easier, at least. 

Out of all the attempts there's only one I really like, so I thought I'd put it up here. It's loosely based on her hairstyle and outfit from The Three Doctors, and while the face was drawn with a reference the body was not. (Which explains why her arm is somewhat wonky now that I really look at it.)

...So. Yeah. Further efforts may be posted as I complete them. Next up: More Jo, possibly some other companions (likely Victoria or Zoe, because they're ever so cute), and maybe even a Doctor or two.

[ETA] In the wee, wee hours of the morning I did another one, one that I like much better and that does not mimic one specific picture. 

Unfortunately, it also means I had no specific reference for her costume (the hair is straight out of The Time Monster), and thus she is dressed a touch less fabulously than usual. But we shall pretend that she and the Doctor have landed on the planet of the Tasteful Logo T-Shirts.

I think I might like this one enough to put it up on 500year_diary...

Oh, and the images are yellowish because I photographed them, rather than scanning them. Once I finish them up, or I start working on the bigger images, they'll be scanned, thus avoiding yellowness.
