I really enjoy portrait studies, as you can tell. This one is a practice in facial expressions, using references I have laying about. Some dynamic, others sort of subtle, but all very expressive. I used a Sanford Ebony drawing pencil on Strathmore recycled sketch paper, which is sort of rougher than I’d like, but it works for practice.

Now that the holidays are over, time to shed off the remnants of hectic stress and get back to the business of doodling! To start, here’s a study sketch of my wife and I.


and here’s another of three kids in some movie. They are going places, you wait and see!

Have a wonderful 2009!!!

DC is bringing back the classic Wolfman/Perez lineup of the Titans. In honor of that, here’s a sketch of the group I finished last night. So I give you, from top row left: Cyborg, Raven, Starfire; middle row: Donna Troy (Wonder Girl), Beast Boy; bottom: Red Arrow (formerly Speedy), Nightwing (the first Robin), and the Flash (Wally West, Kid Flash).

I go through sketchbooks like I go through Guinness. If you know me, it’s quite often. I am a fanboy at heart, growing up on all things DC Comics but have become a life-time afficianado of the industry. So it’s no surprise that 99.9 percent of the content in all of my sketchbooks are comic-book characters. I LOVE drawing DC characters. Don’t get me wrong, my love for comics doesn’t stop at DC, I can draw a pretty mean Wolverine and Spidey. But I love me some DC. Here are sketches from my latest sketchbook. I do mean recent. Like, I’m in the process of finishing this sketch of Cyborg:

And here are some of the lovely ladies of DC (believe me, there are more):

I’m only halfway through the sketchbook. So there’s definitely more for the upload button to do.

Let me know what you think!
