For The Love of Drawing...

Wed Sep 24, 2008, 3:36 PM
I thought I would relegate my comments on my recent deviations to a journal entry. Nobody reads these things anyway right?
The first two were ink practices over the respective artists. I like John Busecma's story telling and just the characterization of his drawings. In this one the cat in the drunken stupor was my favorite to ink. The second one was by Randy Green. I liked the simplicity and design to this page. Skottie Young's style reminds me of Randy's. I am referring to the pencils. In the pencil stage Randy's style is very angular and exact, however I tried to make the square round so to speak. In both drawings I wanted to experiment with using a crayon to obtain different effects. I now have a good idea how I will incorporate this in future drawings.

The last one is completely original moi. This will be a print I plan to sell in Texas at the Wizard Con. As a matter of fact it will be part of a 20+ pin-up set I plan to sell as prints. I am going to redraw all my Australia X-Men with some improvements i.e. hands and hair. After I'm done warming up with the pinups then it's onto drawing/inking the little samples stories involving the Batman Univ. Hopefully after 20+ pin-ups I'll be dialed in, tuned up and ready to go!

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO LATELY...

Sun Aug 17, 2008, 6:33 AM
No I haven't stopped drawing or moved onto something else. Recently I started a temp job that is full time. However it hasn't stopped the demon that drives my creativity. I've been practicing some simple things, namely brush control, drawing hands and hair and recently I've been practicing my lettering technique. I hope to make the Texas Con this November. I have the hotel room secured all I need now is the time and funds. I've really been focusing on how I would handle drawing Bruce Wayne and Alfred at the moment. I've been practicing their facial features and getting a good feel for who they are. Next I plan to do the same with Commissioner Gordon and the Penguin. I've got a somewhat grasp on the Joker however there are somethings I still plan to work out with that one. Batgirl is also on my list, both in and out of costume. Gotham is also something I've been working on too. For the Texas Con I would like to go with some re-draws and new Batman related pieces that I plan to make as prints and sell. If I'm able to go I plan to redraw my X-Men drawings on Canson paper and use my improved inking skills to make some great pieces that will hopefully sell.
Well back to the drawing board.
No rest for the wicked...

NIGHT TRAIN EXPRESS

Mon Jun 30, 2008, 12:37 PM
I bought a bottle of Night Train as a memento from my past. So I thought I would describe my ride on the Night Train with a pic! I suggest right clicking this [link] and opening it another window so you can follow along...

At the red mark is where my trip used to begin. At this point I'm enjoying the sweet citric taste of the wine, things are fine it tastes nice:)

When I would reach the magenta point I would start to get introspective and contemplative about the universe and my place in it. I'm getting tipsy here...

By the time I got to the purple mark I would be working on a PhD in Philosophy. At this point I would began to really get deep...

And when I would reach my destination at the blue stop I would have my arm around the toilet giving back to nature. And once I gave till I couldn't give no more the dry heaves would start and I wasn't having fun at this point. No by the time I would get to blue was a time when I really needed a friend:rofl:

I used to start my ride at around 8-9PM and be done at around 12AM-1AM or so. That was caaarrrrrraaaazzzyyy! I probably should have taken it easy and maybe started at around 5PM and finished at 2AM. What can I say, I was young and naive. I never want to start drinking again! I just shake my head and chuckle when I look at this bottle of this beautiful reddish, cheap wine with the gorgeous label. Ahhhh fond memories. And that's where they'll stay...

Choo Choo, baby!
