Some more sketches

August

I still need to work out the best settings to clarify my scans, as the old s/w I used died completely last month... The tablet-drawn pic shows clearly though!

More collages

I haven't been drawing anything too detailed the past few months, but I thought it was time for me to at least show off a sample of my output from June and July:

Felicia Day

Inspired by watching The Guild S1 and S2 last week, as well as a re-watch of Dr- Horrible. Turned out OK I think.



Here's the pic it's based on.

More shading

I was trying a different technique with this one, and it didn't work quite as well as the previous two. I think the unshaded version is probably best (would have been nice to know that a hour earlier, and I could have left it as it was!).

Salma Hayek

An all-digital effort, which turned out really well:

Dark and smiley

I've traditionally been scared of ruining the "perfection" of my line art, meaning that my shading has been hesistant at best. Which is exactly why I bought my digital tablet. Below is the result of actually using some dark shades, and I think it gives me heaps of scope for treating my initial drawings as just a starting point.

Faces

As much as I love drawing women, it was time for a change, so here are this morning's efforts:

Heroes

Another (I think) successful likeness:



I've spent 9 hours drawing since yesterday morning, and (un)surprisingly the result is a steady improvement in consistency and accuracy. Who'd have thought that doing more drawing would make one's drawing better...

Another collage

A small selection of my recent output:

The comic begins

Here's a little teaser of my in-progress comic (this is part of the cover art). Working title: "Krafty vs Sizza and Knotz".



All suggestions or requests for story or art welcome! Sometimes my own creativity and motivation aren't enough on their own :)

Nervous

I'm really happy with how the hand turned out in this one:

Alyson Hannigan

Not quite as successful, but still an OK picture:

Jessica Alba

Really pleased with how this one turned out:

Lost

I've been doing lots of rough sketches lately, but wanted to target some more likenesses. While I was too lazy to fill in the hair, I'm pretty pleased with this one:

Mixed bag

I did lots of drawing yesterday, so here are a few highlights from this month to celebrate:



It's nice not being afraid of drawing hands anymore, gives me much more flexibility about the pictures I take on.

Just chillin'

Getting angry

I wasn't aiming for a comic style with this, but it looks just like a John Byrne rip-off (ahem, homage) from my high school years.

Action!

In preparation for my upcoming adventure comic, a little taster:



Disclaimer: No comic actually upcoming...

Loss

I think this captures an emotion really well. Exactly what the emotion is... that's up to you :) I've gone for "loss" as the title suggests, but happy for other suggestions.
