Much more useful when you don't do one page of them once a year--

from the sketchbook

More sketchbook stuff-- from the yellow doodle pad. Larger on screen.

HB20

During the German tour last month at least a hundred requests were "Hellboy" -- so here's is one of them, "Hellboy climbing a mountain". Thematically appropriate and just in time for the anniversary! Drawn in a scary 12"x18" sketchbook (at least), but the figure itself is maybe three inches tall. 

(Will post more tour drawings when I get a chance to sort through the photos.)

From the sketchbook

Color over warmup doodles. Funny how little it takes to get an illusion of complexity, even if it’s all pretty much random.

pattern one

Something from the sketchbook. Crossposted to tumblr, if you'd prefer that.

a scent of lotus

Two covers I did for the upcoming Lobster Johnson: A Scent of Lotus #1 and #2, drawn by Sebastian Fiumara, along with the original thumbnails for them. (The original art for the dark one will be for sale pretty soon too, over at Splashpageart - I'll make a new post when it's up)

Post-Stockholm

Stockholm was terrific! Thanks again to Anders and Ola for inviting us and for flawlessly organizing everything. Thanks to all of you who stopped by to get a drawing, and to everybody else we met over there-- thank you for making it such great fun.

Stockholm

Two weeks from now, April 26-28, I'll be at the Stockholm International Comics Festival-- if you're there, do come by and say hello, and I'll draw you a little something. (Emphasis on "little"-- I won't be doing commissions before or during the festival.) 

abe

an Abe Sapien piece I did for "31 Days of Abe". (If you draw, you should really consider entering the competition they're running- there's still some time left) Very happy with how this one turned out.

where? TP

Front cover for the collected "Where is Jake Ellis?" (June)

(Sketchbook nonsense-- but. When you're doodling, it's always a good idea to leave some room for copy. You think you're trying out a pen, but now this Bill guy exists, and the other guy, and things are happening.)

wednesday:

grumpy hellboy

A grumpy Hellboy from one of the previous sketchbooks; last drawing of 2012. If I remember right, it was just doodling straight in pen, trying it out, and I liked how it turned out, so I colored it -- without realizing I'd used the exact palette of the Strange Places collection (an obviously great palette by Dave Stewart). So, here's a purple one instead.

orphans

A variant cover that I did a little while ago -- for Orphans #1, out this Wednesday.

... except these two.
