Description I wanted to make a drawing of all the Cullens together like a family portrait, including Rosalie and Jasper.
For once, I had to use an A3-sized paper to fit them all. I always use A4 otherwise.

So these are my Cullens, the way I saw them while reading the books. Well, I had them manga-fied since drawing them all in realism would probably take me months, and I just didn't have the patience for that.

I originally wanted to make Emmett more muscular, but it looked ridiculous, so I trimmed him down some. I need to practice male anatomy, heh.
Rosalie was probably the most fun to draw, but also the hardest, as she's supposed to be more beautiful than the rest of them.
Jasper looks more like a bad-guy than I intended. I drew him further back than his siblings to make him look more like a loner.
The glasses on Carlisle are just props (it's not like he'll need them XD), but I thought he'd look more sophisticated and doctor-like with them on.
I think Esme's supposed to have long hair, but I thought she'd look more mature with shoulder-length hair.
Alice was hard too. I didn't give her lipstick like the other girls, because I don't think she'd use any.
Ah, and Edward. Many debates on his hair color, but this is how I see it. It is described in many ways in the books that kind of contradict each other, but I go for the color she used when Bella asked who the guy with the reddish-brown hair was. ('Bronze' is in my opinion more yellow.)

Now that I have them all established, I might make more Twilight art. I really liked the books, and I think the characters are interesting, so expect more.

Yay! I love them in pencil. ^^

I think you did a great job with Edward's hair color. I think when Bella calls it 'bronze' she means that it's brownish-red but super-shiny, like the metal. Because bronze tends to be way darker (browner) than copper, and copper is reddish. I really like Rosalie - I think she and Carlisle turned out best. ^^ I always imagined jasper with long, almost stringy hair, and Esme with long hair with a wave in it. Alice looks adorable. <3 Awesome job! I'm glad you might be doing more!

Thank you!
Some people seem to draw him with very light reddish hair, but I'd rather call that redheaded than bronze-colored. Oh well, we all see things differently, I suppose.

I imagine Jasper to have kind of stringy hair, semi-long, but he keeps his hair nice and tidy most of the time. I've drawn him hunting too (gonna upload it in a minute), and even when hunting, his hair is mostly in place. Dunno why I see him like that but I do.

Yeah, I've never been fond of that light red hair. Your color is very nice. ^^

That's what makes it greast - we all have our thoughts on how they look. It's nice to see variations. :]

Cool! That looks more like the Jasper I envisioned when I read the books, rather than the movie Jasper...

Thank you!
Yeah, but the movie-Jasper sure was cute, though. ^^
