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…

Arrrr, me scanning be improving me arrrrrt

I don’t have a pre-scan to show on this one, thank goodness. This is the new level of rendering I’ve been doing, and the fact it’s scanning better…

Lil bunny foo-foo, not so much- in this non-life drawing

This is based on a cosplayer allyssooonnnn(?) but in her version she had bunny ears and a cotton tail. I dropped those. I’m sure it’s based on an…

The devil is in the details, even in life drawing

Here’s a vintage pic, but can’t remember who the actress is. This was another image that the scan settings really changed the final of. First is the original…

Non-life drawing in blue Hawaii

This one is based on a vintage photo that was on a life drawing site; and I loved her hair. Like many of my images, it’s drawn in…

Aye, Der be more non-life drawing ‘ere

Another of the pirate themed models, but below you can really see how the scanner settings impact the final. These pirate images have pushed me into a more…

Switching up some non-life drawing for more non-life drawing

There are a bunch of “life drawing” sites, that have a selection of poses, where you can set a time limit, and it runs you thru a drawing…

Non-life drawing is a wrinkle in my time

I mentioned how drapery is always a challenge. Usually it’s simple things like wrinkles in a jacket, or cuffs of pants, but dresses are always the biggest challenge…

Non-life drawing is busting out all over

Another Japanese magazine image, and of course the two things I wanted to draw the most were… her feet. No, seriously! I did get a kick out of…

Non-Life drawing is suited up, ready for action

I think her suit was a Spiderman variant, bit I was more interested in her pose than anything, with her weight shift onto her one leg, with the…
