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.

Figure that?

More pose file drapery studies, and hair… can’t get that right. Ugh.

It’s a chop shop of (not so…) life drawings!

I mentioned that while researching pics for the chopper cycle in the Beano gig, I kept coming across pics of the bike with attractive women used to sell…

It’s Gojira… Run, kid!

I mentioned before that I’ve been drawing from a lot of Japanese publications, since I can’t go to life drawing sessions due to the pandemic. When I see…

No figure drawing? Go sleep it off

You know the drill by now. Anyway, in the original photo, the girl had an additional, outer skirt, made of something like chiffon. I didn’t like it, so…

Not everything is the Mona Lisa

‘Cause not every drawing is a success. Here’s one that I felt I never got the face right. The reason I picked this shot from a Japanese magazine…

Ravishing “life” drawing of Raven

Another not life drawing, this time I made it Raven from Teen Titans. The pic was a girl drying her hair by a pool, and I really just…

What a life… drawing.

More photo based “life” drawing. No hero assignment, just trying to get things to look right. Her hair was just draped in the photo, so I added some…

Jumping for Jubilee!

More non-life, life drawing. A lot of the mega volume comics in Japan (Shonen Weekly, Big Comic, etc…) will have a couple of pages with pretty girls at…

Another watercolor sketch

I think this is the same girl as before, but my poor drawing might not make that clear. I was more focused on trying to capture the shadow…
