Paragangians Drawing project

...are hard to draw because they have black skin, catlike teeth and are taller than the average human,

black skin:

only on his hand did I try to show the color of his skin, in that case, relative to Jason's

....is hard to shade with pencil. for the first drawings I just imagined the skin was black and didn't even try

This is a bad representation of Harris made by coloring an inverted pencil sketch but it's the most generic picture I have right now of a Paragangian so I will use it to represent this page.

Then I tried. I tried inversions:

Then I tried sculpture.

I wanted to paint someone black and take a photo but I never convinced anyone to do it.

Then I started commissioning other people to draw Harris so I could look at how they did it. Which was very entertaining, and educational.

Then I tried some more.

I'm still trying to learn.

random Paragan doodles

I had entirely forgotten about this sketch, which Is why this wiki project is needed. this was from a storm-artists redux project, based on an old picture of Harris before he was Paragangian, in which he had a beard and long shaggy hair. looks like someone from the lord of the rings or something.

second version of same Redux, with Harris as Paragangian. this does not look as I imagine him to look.

this is the sketch the redux's were based on. origionally I think Harris had olive skin and shaggy hair and dressed very sloppy and casual. before he was paragangian he was also alot older the Jason, sort of a father figure, and a team leader rather than a guy who worked alone. sortof like Scotty from Star Trek

Catlike teeth. and grinning.

Paragangians are supposed to have catlike teeth and they rarely grin, but Harris does, and at first Jason finds him terrifying.
