Daily Dresden Drawings – Summer Knight Eliane

And for Harry’s birthday we have his first love Eliane. Eliane is as tall and graceful so I looked up professional dancers. So long legs and arms but a decent about of muscle. Even though she’s just wearing a t-shirt and jeans when she first shows up her introduction is pretty femme fatale worthy. So I looked up ladies from old noir movies and picture one that was on the less dark and sexy side of the spectrum. Someone who isn’t too obviously good or bad. I also gave her a longer face because that way she mirrors Harry slightly, since through out the whole series they both foil one another.

Daily Dresden Drawings – Summer Knight Murphy

Murphy’s first appearance in Summer Knight is in her bathroom due to Harry banging on her door in the middle of the night. She’s overly tired with bags under her eyes. Like with my Harry drawing I started with the old drawing I did of her for my Grave Peril booklet. She’s short and has a gymnasts build. One change I did make is I softened her jaw a slightly. In Grave Peril, Murphy’s hair fits under a baseball cap and here her hair has gotten slightly longer and just past her eyes.

Daily Dresden Drawings – Summer Knight Ancient Mai

Ancient Mai is the old member of the senior council. Despite that she is described as not having too many lines on her face, so I tried not to go overboard with her wrinkles. Her eyes are described as watery which made me decided to give her that fold of skin over her eyes some old folks get.She is also described as frail looking so I made her thin and gave her that hunch you see especially in old women. Her hair is in a very long braid that wrapped up behind her head then held with combs.
