skin

first time i used a mechanical pencil to draw in the last four months.

done!

yes, this is finally finished. only missed the deadline by two weeks... feh. but it has a couple of good bits in, i think.

fun with a pencil

don't worry, i'm finishing the 'serious' things, too:

malo po malo

a couple days more and it's done. most of the time my script printouts tend to get covered, front and back, with doodles and notes. not a conscious decision, and it's mostly done during the morning coffee, out in the cafe. here's a page of the script, and a couple more doodles-

drawing is good.

today's exactly six months i've been doing these portraits. still have no idea what i'm doing, but i'm certainly having fun. usually i sketch anything, and work mostly with the paint, but this one i thought i'd draw. found a white chalk in the kitchen so spruced it up a bit with it. and correction fluid, too.

in other news, immortal iron fist 14 hit the stands yesterday. the previous one seemed to split the audience regarding the art, but what else could be expected when you're a fill-in artist. this one looks a bit different-- i used a lot more black, made the panels busier, and in the end, it was inked by stefano gaudiano of daredevil and gotham central. colors by paul mounts this time.

i could draw hydra guys getting beat up in my sleep now, but in the latter pages i decided to have more fun with how they die-

can't really post pages since this is a big finale issue and pretty much anything would be a spoiler. though, you can find two pages online, if you google it.

need to change some things. no posts for a couple of weeks, maybe more.

done!

inks by stefano gaudiano, colors by paul mounts. the pencils for this panel are somewhere in the posts below.

a start?

sending off a sketch again, no photoshop on this one. cutting down the palette as well... but- the chances are they'll fuck it up in print as usual.

for the nitpicky, a correction from yesterday- the book is a guide to fighters and bombers-- both of these are bombers.

eyes don't work

today's warmup doodle. got this book on fighter planes, and since i know nothing of them, thought i'd draw them. sure beats my usual practice of drawing random generic heads (gah) or not warming up at all and getting angry 10 minutes into the page =)
