Blast From The Past: Tales From The Heart #11 Art, Blast from the past, Color!!!, Comics, Shop talk | (2)
This was my cover to Slave Labor's Tales From The Heart #11, from 1994, painted in Dr. Martin's watercolor dyes, with probably a little bit of guache, if I remember right. I was grateful to publisher Dan Vado for allowing me to do the cover to the final issue, following earlier covers by the likes of Brent Anderson and Charles Vess. It really was an honor. Tales was the true-life adventures of a college-aged woman's stint as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Central African Republic, written by Cindy Goff and Rafael Nieves. A little ahead of its time, the series ...

I recently upgraded to Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro 2010--so good it's from the future! Updated with a few much-needed features (thanks for the ruler, Autodesk), still the best drawing software around, now better. Color from Photoshop.

Mugshots #4: Loosey Goosey Art, Color!!!, Mugshots, Shop talk | (0)
An attempt at caricature here. I tried to be a little less concerned with photorealism and anatomical structure in favor of expression. I also took a looser, more painterly approach to color. Drawn with Sketchbook, painted in Photoshop.

Secret Identites Pin-Up: Color Final Art, Color!!!, Comics, Shop talk, Spandex fetish | (0)
And now, the candy-colored conclusion, painted in Dr. Martin's watercolors. Eagle-eyed viewers may notice that the linework on this drawing isn't the same as the previous posts. That's because I had to redraw the picture every time I repainted. This final version of the pin-up took about three tries before I ended up with something I was halfway satisfied with. This is why I prefer working digitally, because those extra steps can be avoided due to digital's non-destructive nature. If I were a better painter it wouldn't be a problem to begin with, but, like Clint Eastwood ...

Mugshots #1 Art, Color!!!, Mugshots | (0)
Mugshot photos are a dream to interpret. They're loaded with personality and some of the weirdest-ass variations of human-face features you will ever see. They're like real-life caricatures, an artist's dream. Drawn in Sketchbook, color by Photoshop.
