The Dark Lord Returns

Something just for fun.  I'm sure someone out there has done this before but I couldn't find one so I made one myself!

Thor 1.1

I wasn't completely happy with the way this one looked before so I moved his arm.

TMNT

But which one is it?  You decide. Another quick watercolor and marker sketch.


The BatMan

 A quick marker and watercolor sketch from my sketchbook today.

The Mighty Tor

No no.  Not THOR.  Tor.  The short lived yet awesome 80s Cartoon Mighty Orbots was one of my favorites.

Pure Inspiration

Please check out this piece from Ryan Woodward. In this short film he captures our craft in it's purest and innocent form. Amazing.

Ryan Woodward's "Thought of You"

Ryan also has a great book available to purchase as a digital download on gesture and figure drawing.

Enjoy!

A Super Girl

Was thinking today.  I know, shocker... and remembering back to all the old doodles in my various school books, notebooks, and homework papers when I was a kid and realized that for the most part, I never really drew comic book characters.  It's not like I wasn't into them.  Sure, like every kid I ran around with a bandana safety pinned to the back of my shirt and launched myself off of the nearest piece of furniture, but most of my sketches and doodles were of Star Wars characters, various mecha from Macross, astronauts and space shuttles, and Transformers.  So I guess it's good that I've been tackling some characters of the Super Hero variety.

A few weeks ago my favorite Gotham Redhead made her way into my sketchbook.  This time, her Blonde neighbor from Metropolis makes a visit.

Enjoy.
