I wanted to get this up before everyone else starts posting and puts me to shame…
I like playing with HB’s arm size a bit. Theoretically, he should have one kinda monstrous arm (his right one, duh) and one smaller arm. but for this I just made it a tad bigger, and of course it’s a little larger because of the pose.
I had a lot of fun inking this one. It’s all brush with the exception of the white on his right hand, and some stuff in his skullular region.
Not THOSE Avengers, but the awesome British show featuring John Steed and Emma Peel. This is as close to creative as I could get after seeing all of the other rad and thoughtful submissions. Now back to inking for the Hellboy Sketchercise!
This week’s Sketchercise directed us to draw our favorite comic strip character. I was positive I’d get beaten to the punch on Calvin and Hobbes (and I did…post it Brandon!), so I decided to go with my other favorite strip, Boondocks. A lot of people might know these guys from the cartoon, but the strip was great as well!
And before anyone says anything, yes I know that Riley doesn’t have the cornrows in the comic strip. Shut up. Heh.
I’ve been SUPER lazy about posting, but I at least I haven’t stopped drawing! I finished this one a few weeks ago, and I’m really pleased with it. This is my all-time favorite version of the character.
This is some fan art for one of my favorite books, Scott Pilgrim. It started as a sketch at our last Sketch Charlotte meeting, and sat for while, until I got the time/balls to finish it. It deviates a bit from my normal style, but I’m really pleased with the finished product.
Commission for a buddy on a podcast message board. He wanted the Vision and Scarlet Witch posed in the manner of the classic painting, American Gothic. Pitchfork and all. Felt like I did it justice, though Scarlet Witch is kinda squoze too tightly behind him. And yes, I just made up the word “squoze”.
…when I should be taking notes at meetings.
I know I missed last night’s meeting, but that’s no excuse to not post. I feel like this is a bit of a letdown after Tom’s excellent last post, but I gotta keep my streak alive (heh). This is an initial sketch of Kilowog that I’ll later lightbox, tighten and ink. I absolutely hate that left arm, but haven’t figured out what to do with it yet. I hope to have this one ready for the convention on Oct 24.
p.s. Vy, this one has feet, so I hope you enjoy them. As stumpy as they are.
Hey all, I’m hoping to post the step by step process of completing this piece. It takes me forever to draw, because I’m slow, and because my kids keep me occupied quite a bit. Anyway, this is the beginning of a Shaun of the Dead piece, featuring Shaun and Ed. This is just construction lines on 9×12 bristol. Next step will be to tighten this up, add some details, then lightbox it with bluelines onto a piece of 11×17 comic board. Hopefully I’ll have at least *some* of that done by next Thursday!
This is one of my 20 minute exercises. I draw as much as I can and get as much character in as possible in 20 minutes. I generally do this in lieu of my lunch break…and sometimes during call-in meetings. I’ve never completed a full piece in 20 minutes, but it helps nonetheless. I can cut a bit more loose when I’m not stifled by trying to render all the minutiae.
Animal Man is arguably my favorite character, and I’m definitely gonna take a crack at doing a fully inked piece of him soon.
