Slice n’ Dice

I’ve mentioned before how I hate it when people draw handles too thin, only way to fix that, is to practice it. Plus, who doesn’t like a classic…

Ink is the new black

Simple black and white, but working on the inking, never happy with it. 

Feels like the upper 80s in here

Well, ok maybe more like 81? Something about this screams like it needs floating triangles, a perspective grid, and neon lettering.

No personal calls!

I’m pretty sure I’ve drawn this image before, from one of my pose files. Again, every day actions, always a challenge. From holding the phone, wearing a jacket,…

Pop with purple

Still not entirely accurate with the scan, but over the years I’ve grown fond of purple.

I forgot my lotion…

So yeah, the pink was there, but not so lobster looking. Oh well. Trying out more of those harsh, graphic color swatches. Fun, but challenging for me.

Cold? Then put on a jacket for luck’s sake!

Simple, everyday actions- they require practice. People don’t do it enough, and that’s why so many characters look odd when putting on clothes, sweeping floors, carrying boxes, getting…

You cold? I’m not…

It’s that time of year people start thinking of warmer places. Here’s a pose file pic, with some summer wear to warm you up. Trying out that whole…

Another pose file image, from the section before all the fan service shots.

Tell me more about my eyes

Another pose file image, all about the hair, hat, and glasses

Bring it, Bond!

Bah dah, buuuuum, bah dah, buuuuum– bah dah, bah, bah, dah!

I don’t do windows, or carry heavy crap!

They call this “heavy lifting” in acting…

Did you pinch my…

Another waitress image from a. pose file.

Ready for my close up!

More from one of the “How to” manga books. You may recognize the model from a previous post, but this time she’s just a reference, as they didn’t…

Veteran’s Day

Well, it’s military related, what with the gear and all, so here’s an image from another Japanese pose file reference. I always fight to make helmets look like…

Kiss my grits!

A waitress shot from another pose file.

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–

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….
