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.  

Up, up, and draw it that way!

Another cosplay lady, but this time, more US based. 

Easy Breezy!

I figured if I was gonna practice more realistic drawing, I should include some inking as well. I’m still trying to figure out how the hell Butch does…

Sketchy-san

Again, a few more sketches from the pose files.

What a difference a day makes

Two things— If you follow this blog (thanks mom), then you know I enjoy drawing with colored leads. It stems from most comic artists that do their underdrawings…

New beginnings by going back to Japan

Back to the Japanese magazines for this one, but this is also the image that forced me to start playing with scanner settings! I really worked on the…
