Figure drawing studies
Pen & Ink (pencil layouts on 20-minute poses)

Here are 2 new pieces in my ink study series DC3. All done on 9×12 bristol smooth. As you can see, i took some liberties with a Brainiac redesign on the Superman villains piece as well as Wonder Woman’s costume.

Another set of straight pen and ink studies, with the exception of the very last 20-minute piece, in which I started with a light pencil layout.

Much like this sketchblog, I also took a long hiatus from figure drawing workshop. I blame it on the the show “Lost”. But hey, at least I’ve got my Tuesdays back.

Last weeks session, I decided to be bold and actually go straight to pen and ink with my pose sketches. Ask any artist, not being able to erase makes sketching quite the commitment. All in all, it was excellent practice, making me more comfortable with the medium.

I’m back!

Not only that, I’m back with new stuff!

Check ‘em out! And check back often!

In my effort to practice inking techniques, I created this series of illustrations based on DC Comics characters in thematic groups of 3. These are mostly done on 9×12 bristol board using both Pitt pens and Prismacolor fine point pens in varying sizes.
