Stop screening your drawings!

Hitting back to the first volume for this one, so no alternate angles this time.Their pic–Their more realistic version– Their manga style– And my shot–

It’s Beano pouring all day!

Kids pull a Cat in Hat this week, sort of.

To quote Kirk… “Khan!”

More from issue 292, and in this sequence, Dr. Mindbender is supposed to obtain some DNA from the secretly discovered burial site of Genghis Khan. I spent way…

I’m only afraid of the move you practiced a million times

Bruce Lee said something like that, and practice does make perfect… or at least gets you closer to it. Drawing, like the martial arts, is a perishable skill….

They rode a Beano saddle!

If you’re not (at least) over 20, you shouldn’t get that reference. The kids are cosplaying something fierce this week, and I gave the activity page a couple…

Please hang up, and draw again.

Sketches from the other manga instruction book I’ve been working from lately. The photoTheir direct shot– Their manga version– And my direct rendering– Their alternate angle photo–And my…

The good, the Beano, and the ugly.

Give you one guess where the kids are this week?

It’s Beano one of those days!

Yeah, that’s never a good thing, you can see it in his eyes. Check out this week’s Beano to see how bad it got for the janitor!

This isn’t a library, you buying that?

More alternate image sketching, but from the other volume. Here is the first pose from the reference volume, and you can see that they even include the center…

Beano tossing

Those darn kids, always UP to no good.

Place your bets.

The final run of IDW’s GIJoe: Real American Hero was set in a Cobra themed casino. I really wanted to capture the feel of those places, which always…

Don’t turn your back on me!

At life drawing sessions I never change seats, but that’s because I feel you have to make what you get interesting. To change your view, (to me) is…

Can you picture that? A Beano you can treasure.

A slight Muppet reference, plus a little comic Easter egg this week. My old pal Gary Erskine used to a draw a comic with a similar title. Oh,…

It’s a Monster sale!

Back to the possibility of doing Monster High, one reason I’d love to be on the book, is that I’m a big “slice of life” manga fan. Stuff…

My Beano is a centerfold!

This week the kids get their class photo… comedy ensues.

Be-be-be-be-be-be- Beano

I mean, Bana, bana, bana, bana, bana, bana, bana, bana, Banana-Man! (in CoLoR)

Beano, Beano ooh, where are you?

You’ll never see Scooby the same.

You never hear the Beano with your name on it!

INCOMING! Whew, that was close one! To celebrate that near miss, here are the original pencils for the panel.
