Revolutionaries and Monarch (D)

Last weekend I went to see Hamilton in SLC and it was just what I expected and also had lots of surprises.  I did some arts which were appreciated on Instagram by the actors!

 To remind you of his love:

Mr. B (D)

[I really need to get J in here to post all her amazing TGS arts...]

Today's the day!!!

I think he's in there.

Like An Anthem In My Heart (D)

I decided to experiment with my first-ever speedpaint for this one.  ~45 minutes, though it could have gone on for ages.

Sunday Sketches verion

That's it for #TGSbyDrew for now!  Itch definitely scratched.

Three Ladies and Mister Carlyle (D)

I really need to get J in here to post some of her Greatest Showman arts, they are really marvelous.  But in the meantime, here's a series of three ladies in fabulous costumes and varying moods, followed by a handsome fellow in a tuxedo.

Never, never!

This Is She! 

Breathtaking View

 I was having so much trouble with this one that I almost gave up completely pretty early on but I'm glad I stuck it out.

Sketch version 2 (version 1 will never see the light of day).  Even relying heavily on ref I find his face very challenging to get right.

A Million (D)

The obsession continues.  I really need to get J in here to post hers too, they are amazing!

I enlisted Instagram to help make my work in progress version a little more dynamic and they were really helpful!  For comparison's sake here's the sketch:

Barnum (D)

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for...

You Can't Stop It (D)

Last night I finished the last 20 minutes of Hairspray Live! on the old DVR. What, doesn't it take you over a year to watch a televised version of one of your favorite musicals?

Little Shoppa (D)

"On the 23rd day of the month of September, in an early year of a decade not to long before our own, the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence. And this terrifying enemy surfaced, as such enemies often do, in the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places..."

A Dot Ham and Others (D)

I'm not the biggest fan but I've had this in my head for months. I didn't mean for it to escape when it's kind of topical but I guess it worked out that way.

[Obviously inspired by the musical but not necessarily meant to be exact portraits of the original cast.]

Think of Never Dying (D)

We've been watching/listening to a lot of Phantom this week.

Special thanks to Sierra Boggess, a.k.a. the best Christine ever.

Here are a few older sketches that I ran across the other day.  I was so into this movie when it was new.

So much hair, so much poof.

Everyone knows these two are the real stars of the show.

Never change, Raoul.

SAY you love her... "You know I do" isn't the same thing.

We had way too much fun and laughed way too much while watching this, but I guess things change over time.

I Don't Care (D)

Gestures (with just a pop of color) based on basically my new life theme song.

Detail of the Big Finish

Sing it, Judy.

A Trio of Hairsprayers (D)

Songs that come up on my shuffle sometimes inspire me to post older art which then inspires me to paint it five years later. Amber has had a makeover.
