Sketchbook: Denton Ward

As I promised last week, I told you I’d share with you Daniel Fu’s preliminary rough sketches of Denton and Monty. First, we’re going to take a look at Denton.

To refresh your memory, here again is the description I gave to Daniel regarding Denton’s appearance, dress, and demeanor.

Denton Ward - take a peek at Guy Pearce from Memento. Over 6′ tall. Thin. Short, messy blonde hair. Circular or aviator rim sunglasses. White button down shirt. Black trench coat. Tie. Black slacks with cuffs at bottom. Black socks, black penny loafers. Pale complexion. Dour or serious expression on his face. Expensive wrist watch. Pack of cigarettes in shirt pocket. Maybe have him smoking one. You should be able to see his eyes through his sunglasses. Remember Keanu Reeves from “Constantine”? If we can see his wrists, he does have scars on the inside of them, as he has tried to commit suicide at least once that we know of. The tie is the only splash of color he wears. Let’s make the cigarettes a red and white Marlboro pack, as it’s easily recognizable. He fastidious and neat.

Now let’s see how Daniel did with this first sketch:
