I drew this one with two number 2 mechanical pencils, 1 with .5mm lead for the smaller detail and 1 with .7mm lead, free hand. (I darkened the photo so that the detail shows up better.)
Wow, people...I'm embarrassed to say how long this actually took. Ratchet is, by far, the most detailed of the Autobot Cybertronians...more so than even Ironhide (which was also a challenge to draw). I bow to anyone who has tried drawing this mech *bow*
When I started drawing him, I started noticing all these cool springs and stuff and, my gawd...He took a long time to draw. His eyes had the most amazing detail and I really, really, hope I was able to capture that.
I have been waiting like a mad bat for you to finish Ratchet's sketch ever since you said he was awesome looking! Are you were so right! He looks amazing! You did a wicked job on his! The detail is absolutely mind-blowing! I am totally blown away by it! Even as I flick the screen up so I can look at it, I'm still gaping at it. You are a terribly talented artist!
So... who's going to be next? Bumblebee or Jazz?

You capture all his details, right down to his stress lines No really, I can't there is another picture out there with this much detail that has been hand drawn. And his eyes are stunning!!!
I hope you draw Jazz next (I can't find a decent head shot of him to save my life, and I love his visor!)

Good heavens! You drew the movieverse Ratchet so well! It's so detailed and all the small parts are perfectly depicted... This sketch is extremely awesome! Great job, Lita!

eeeeeeee! I'm so glad you like him! Every time I look at it, I see all the screw-ups, but, hey, that's how we know it's free hand
Thank you so much! The detailing on this one liked to kill me! Just when I thought I'd seen everything there was, my eye would catch something else!
I've already done Bumblebee, actually. I didn't get much comment on him and I'm beginning to think there may have been a glitch and he didn't show up. I get a fave on him every now and then, though Here he is if you want to have a look:
I should darken him like I did Ratchet so that he shows up better...
Several people have asked for Jazz, so, yes, I will be drawing him, but there is someone else I want to try drawing first...I won't say who yet
