Comic Sketch

Abstract Comic Panels

I like comics and I like doodling. This way I get to practice one while playing with the other. 

This drawing is done in black india ink, and graphite gray oil-based ink. I used two sizes of pens and one big, chunky brush just to see if I could do the whole thing with that big of a brush. It probably could have been better with a better brush. 

After reading how-to blogs I scanned this drawing and stitched it together in photoshop. Not bad for my first time. I know reducing the size helps too, but I think I fixed all the seam issues I had. If anyone out there knows any tips and tricks that help in that process please add some comments below.

Art Time Comic

My niece and I had art time on the Fourth of July. I liked what she drew so much that I wanted to do a comic featuring it.

Abstract Comics or Techniques?

You can decide:

(More than one post a day? --Don't get used to it. It's the last day of Spring Break.)

Logos & Doodles at the MoMA

I sat in the Rothko room doodling for a while this spring break...

If you have followed my blog for a while, you may recognize this story. I'm still doing sketches to figure out how to best tell it. I think the first drawings were better, but this is just a sketch. I know there's a better way to tell it.

Finished Comic People-Page

This is the page in my sketchbook I began in October of 2010. Today I finished drawing on and filling up the page. 

I need to work on developing a more distinct style if I ever want to get a full book or even mini-comic done.

Dia: Beacon: Quick Comic

I <3 Dia: Beacon!

This was done very quickly with marker. I didn't use pencil first because it is meant to be a comic sketch.

A Taste of the Wilderness?

What in the world will this be about? You'll have to check back and see.

Trip To Syracuse

This is what I was inspired to draw when I was on my way to Syracuse University with my students. We spent 10 hours on a bus.

What Attitude?

This is the attitude behind not getting my own work done:

Happy New Year!

...a bit late. :)

Comic Faces

I'm thinking about doing a huge piece of paper like this even though this small one took forever and was not too fun to do. I like how it looks.

Sitting on The 1 Train

Sunday, on the 1 train...I was headed to Church, this guy was just in my head.

Inspired by Jaime

I was at the New York Comic Con this past weekend and I found a huge book with drawings by Jaime Hernandez. It was hardcover, really cheap, and signed so I had to have it. I know he is one of the most famous and best comic artists, but I haven't really seen his stuff. (I'm relatively new to comic art.) I love the way he draws women. They are beautiful and sensual without so much of the feeling of the male gaze. Here's my drawing of some of his women. Mine aren't nearly as beautiful as his however...
