I really tried to follow my instincts with this piece. I didn't put too much down with the pencil before I began inking- I wanted it to feel more organic and energetic that way.

When I pencil, I tend to labor over every little line I put down and I'm constantly changing my mind as to how I want to render things. When a correction is a simple as picking up the eraser and doing it right then, it's easy to get carried away and usually leads to completely starting the drawing over. It's one of the things I'm trying to change about the way I work and this was a good step towards that.

It may be hard to tell because I cleaned it up a lot in Photoshop, but I got pretty sloppy with the inks. This is the first time I've used a crow quill dip pen since school. I also used a couple different brush pens and of course some microns. I even broke out the white paint for a different texture in the background.

All in all this was a great learning experience and I'm definitely gonna try more stuff like this in the future.

This started as a sketch I did who knows when that i just found with some other unfinished drawings which I'll get to in the next few weeks.
It took me about 10 hrs to finish but it was a good 10 hrs. It's been a while since I had the time or patience really get into something and just draw the hell out of it for an afternoon or three or four.

This is something I drew for my mom (who's been a huge Beatles fan since before I was born) for Christmas last year. I used some fine tip microns and a brush pen to do Lennon and ink wash for his hair and the city skyline.

And I'm still working up colors on the Deadpool thing. I haven't done any coloring in, like, 5 years so I'm rusty. Reeeeeeealy rusty.

I really like images that try to lead your eye around the page, so I tried to do something like that for this one. By placing certain objects, body parts or whatever in certain places, you can create tangents that will direct the eye around the page continuously.

I'll have colors up later on this week.

new one

I swear I've got some more interesting things brewing (some inking/ tonal stuff, some computer coloring, even some painting) but I realized that it's been 2 weeks since I updated, so I did this quick one today:

That makes two Nextwave characters in a row, so it's a safe bet I'll be doing the others soon.

This here's The Captain from Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.

something new, something old

This is a drawing of Juggernaut that I had a lot of fun with today. The next one is something I did a few months ago that I just found under a pile of stuff.



I used the same cross-hatching technique for rendering on both of them, but I was a little more controlled with it in the Scarlet Witch one. I'm a big fan of cross-hatching but it's easy to get carried away with.

And we're off...

Check back frequently. I'll be posting some more stuff later this weekend.
And thanks!
