Sentence or Cos?

A lot of the Japanese pose book are girls in school uniforms. Ignore the fact the model is in her mid twenties. Maybe she was kept back a…

Nice shoes, Cos

Again, no idea who the cosplayer is, but I liked the pose… and the shoes. Didn’t turn out as Asian as the model in the pic, but hey—…

Course I’m scared, Cos that’s a big sword!

Another cosplay referenced image, no idea who she is, but I think the costume is Gantz. Pretty girl though, w/ beautiful hair, and scary sword.

Of cos you did!

More inking practice based on some cosplay images off the net. Didn’t see a name, so apologies to the young lady. 

Skin like leather

Another from that weird cosplay, soft core site. They did some kind of Tomb Raider bit, but I zoned in on the leather jacket. Nice practice. 

Sharon another drawing

Supposed to be Sharon Tate, and inspired by a friend who still idolizes her.

Close, but no cosplay

Practicing some inking, which I obviously need. :¬P

Looking back– not far, but keeping an eye on stuff

So, how we doing so far? A week in, and… wait, oh crap— has Omicron shut down the world yet?

Ugh, still recovering from New Years!

Hope everyone has moved past any “self inflicted” pain from the holiday. That said, back to some heroines in anguish images. I think this one should be titled…

Another one bites the dust—

And another year’s gone, another year’s gone— Looking down on it? Yep. Sucked. Here’s hoping next year brings us all safety, joy, and closer friendships… not emotionally. Seriously,…

You’ve never given up on anything before…

Now draw! Back to the “risqué” search result references, here’s another pose with some drapery on an injured super heroine. Plus the hair was fun to draw. Not…

Sketching out my back

…and practicing my chops. Every artist I know has back problems… eventually. Yes, I’m that old. I draw an attractive girl in a hoodie, and all I can…

Photo searches are like a box of chocolates…

You NEVER know what you’re gonna get. Results after a search can range from funny to odd, but usually (as with everything on the net) there is always…

Hun, I think you missed Santa

No point in sneaking up on him now! Hope everyone had a great holiday! From the “Pose Files”,  to practice hair, drapery, and toes. Feet can be a…

Nice hat. Made in Taiwan? Bound to be authentic then.

It’s an old line from “As Time Goes By”, but it’s actually the reason I sketched this pose… ’cause I liked the hat.

Kimi wa hon wo yomu…

Ok I’m late to the party, but if you have Pandora/Spotify check out the Japanese band Scandal, specifically their album Hello World. The song “Hon wo Yomu” (…

She wore a black outlined beret…

Still working on finding my comfort zone on inking stuff, here’s another pose file image. One thing I’ve always been unhappy with is how comic shadows on skin…

Strike two!

Here’s another attempt at inking practice. I got a lot to work on, so this time wasn’t just about the drapery, which I should have picked a better…

Practice makes… ARGH!

As I mentioned, with a GI Joe run coming up, I’ve needed to get back in the habit of inking more for “hero” comics, than “cartoony” ones. I’ve…

It’s called clubbing, not “swording”!

I think you got the outfit rocking for a night of clubbing, but your choice in accessories is a bit off.
