Trying to do something with 2 tones, but more realistic than my comical book style.

More trying stuff out. Didn't really plan the color usage out very well. And the gal on the couch, is apparently colored as Marge Simpson would be. ha.

So, I've been pretty bad at posting lately. I've been busy so I apologize. As some of ya'll may know, I've been doing my first work for Marvel the past couple of months. Issues 1 and 2 of Skrull Kill Krew (inked by yours truly, pencils by Mark A Robinson) have come out, along with Amazing Spider-man Family 7 (pencils Val Semeiks). I have been having a really good time working on those projects, and thats good because they are some long houred days! I'm finishing up some inking on the rest of SKK and already have my next two projects lined up that I'm SUPER excited about. One is penciling, one is pencils and inks. It's going to be fun because I'll get to be drawing some of my favorite characters from each of the companies. Needless to say, I'm psyched.

Even though I'm just starting up in the industry, I want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way, and there have been A LOT. Whether you gave encouraging critiques or harsh criticism, to just saying hi, I've appreciated it. So thanks to Scot, Claudette, Jay, Cliff, Mark, Chris, Steve, Tom, Justin, Robert, MikeyO, Mike, Neal, TomBomb, JLowe, Shawn, Dale, Julian, Sam, Andy, Jarrett, Evan, Tyson, Mom and Dad, and everyone else who've helped me so far. I owe a lot of people drinks.

Now, after some sleep, I have to go get a hell of a lot better at this whole art thing!

Finished Issue 3 of Skrull Kill Krew this weekend. Been nice having the first part of the week off. Trying to get back to some drawing. I found these 25 Essential Expressions Challenge worksheets that are awesome. When I'm finished and put up the finals, I'll post links to the template. Since I'm a little rusty, these tend to go from cartoony to more refined but oh well. Here are the first 8.

I just Watched the Watchmen, so I decided to do the new version of Silk Spectre kicking down her old costume. This is a little rougher because I tried to ink straight over some loose pencil layouts as opposed to finishing the pencils. Trying to work at getting quicker. Though unsuccessful in my mind, hopefully this will start clicking more.

About a 90 min sketch.

EDIT: This was a little too rough in places so I fixed the face a bit and added quick colors for fun!

Here is some digital changes which should give you an idea of where I'm going with this. This is also much different from how I set out to finish this. Their wasn't going to be any outlines or that designy background originally... we'll see how it comes out.

Cheers!

So this is part one of my process. My new process. Trying my hand at painting on a canvas with some acrylics I had lying around. Picture based off a photo. This is probably, and hopefully, about 25% of where this will end up being. I'll post some more as I go.

Wanted to be done with this today, as it's only 8"x10", but I haven't been able to work long sessions as of late. More soon.
