Two years of practice really do make a difference! I revisited a portrait I originally made in 2023 of Brent Spiner as Data (yes, again ๐Ÿ˜„) to see how far Iโ€™ve come. Swipe to see the evolution: Black pencils (2025) - Ecoline markers (2023) - graphite version (2023) โ€“ where it all started.

And today, I finished that drawing ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ
I completely lost track of time because I was in a flow-state ๐ŸŒ€
It felt right โœจ๏ธ

Last night, after an overwhelming day ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ I really needed to rewind.
So I started drawing Data againโ€ฆ
But hereโ€™s the twist: I used the exact same reference photo I used back in 2011 ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ“ธ
I wanted to see how much Iโ€™ve grown โ€” not just as an artist, but as a person ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿงต

I was scared to fail ๐Ÿ˜… He meant so much to meโ€ฆ
But somehow I pushed through and managed to draw him pretty well ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŽญ

Fast forward to now โ€” Iโ€™ve drawn and painted Data a lot over the past few years ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ–ค
Heโ€™s become my ultimate comfort character ๐Ÿซถ

So hereโ€™s a little story ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ’›

As most of you know, Iโ€™ve always been a big fan of Data ๐Ÿค–โœจ (Star Trek).
I started drawing portraits when I was about 12 years old โ€” around 1997 ๐Ÿง’โœ๏ธ
But it wasnโ€™t until 2011 that I finally found the courage to draw Data. ๐Ÿงต

She's shown so many girls and women that you can be both goth and genius, playful and powerful. A true role model for female scientists everywhere. I used black graphite pencils โœ๏ธ for this oneโ€”seemed only fitting for her...

Finally finished portrait #30 in my Book of Faces! โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ“– This time, I added Pauley Perrette as Abby from NCISโ€”because honestly, she had to be in there. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ”ฌ Abby is smart, quirky, unapologetically herself, and a brilliant scientist in a field often dominated by men. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ”ฌโœจ

What started as a gouache experiment ๐ŸŽจ (that went totally sideways) somehow found its way backโ€”thanks to a little persistence โœจ and a lot of color!

Hereโ€™s Data ๐Ÿค– againโ€”our favorite colorless androidโ€”now boldly lit in purple, starlight โญ, and neon eyes.

Had a blast ๏€€makerfairegent today! Just my trusty @efteling sketchbook and two multicolor ballpoints from @hema.be โœ๏ธ Finally completed this accidental lookalike trio: Brent Spiner and James Spader were drawn last year, and today I added Michael Shanks ๐ŸŽจ

I try to make a habit of sketching for at least 10 minutes a dayโ€”if I have more time, I work on something bigger. In these quick sessions, I focus on capturing the essence of what I seeโ€ฆ
So here you go: some quick freehand Brent Spiner/Data sketches ๐Ÿ˜‚

"I am happy to see Spotโ€ฆ yet I am crying. Perhaps the chip is malfunctioning."
"I think itโ€™s working perfectly."
โ€” Data & Deanna, Generations
I hope I captured that emotion in his face: the confusion, the tenderness, the spark of something deeply human.

I feel like my shading, anatomy, and overall depth have improved a lotโ€”but Iโ€™d love to know what you think!

This newest one was done with Mars Lumograph Black pencils. Gorgeous rich blacks, but wowโ€ฆ theyโ€™re NOT forgiving. The leads are really hard, so I canโ€™t layer as much as Iโ€™d like, and sharpening feels like defusing a bomb ๐Ÿ˜… Gotta be super gentle or the paper suffers. ๐Ÿ’›

Help, my desk got invaded by these tiny critters! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘€ (Chuzzles?) Any ideas on what the plan is with these tiny creatures? ๐Ÿค” Are they up to something mischievous ๐Ÿ˜ˆ or just looking for a new home? ๐Ÿก Let me know your theories!

Two portraits, one collage โ€” both created using the same reference of Brent Spiner as Data. โœ๏ธ Each side tells its own story. One is who he is, the other who he wants to be. Which side draws your eye the most? Let me know! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ–ค

But amidst the chaos, I finally found the time to finish a new portrait in my Book of Faces: the amazing Tine Embrechts (F(l)amme Fatale โ€” and so much more!). Sheโ€™s portrait number 29 in my little book.

Now the big questionโ€ฆ who should be number 30? ๐ŸŽจ Drop your suggestions below! ๐Ÿ’›

Finished another digital portrait! ๐ŸŽจ Brent Spiner as Data in Star Trek: TNG (S07E17) Masks. Used a screenshot as reference, featuring the haunting moment:

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ 'Does it hurt?'
๐Ÿค– 'Yes'

Had a lot of fun experimenting with layers on this one! Really happy with how it turned outโ€”the expression on his face was a fun challenge to capture. Major props to Brent Spiner for his incredible acting in this episode! ๐Ÿ‘

What do you think?

Just a wild thought: A young Brent Spiner would have made a perfect Loki, donโ€™t you think? ๐Ÿ˜โœจ And Tom Hiddleston as Data? ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿคญ

Had a few minutes to sketch this out after looking for some references. Not sure if Iโ€™ll take this idea further, but it was fun to explore! ๐ŸŽจ What do you think?

โœจ Itโ€™s been a bit quiet hereโ€ฆ well, on my socials at least โ€” not so much in real life! ๐Ÿ˜… We've been busy switching rooms around the house, moving my hobby/creating room back upstairs to the attic. ๐Ÿงต
