Preparations for ECEE 2014

There are several media guest attending the Edmonton 

Convention, I am doing a few prints of some of them.

If there are certain guests you'd like to see me do images 

of, let me know and I'll see if I can get t done.

 

A busy weekend for drawing. More to come.

FDC Day 18.

 Completed inks for this page. Kuretake brush and felt pen.

Debating on digital colours comic style or paint.

I'll play around with it, see how it turns out.

Thanks for visiting.

FDC Day 16.

Back on the board with real brushes and ink, still the best way to 

create drawings, comfortable and familiar.

FDC Day 14.

More brush doodles working ideas out. Ink and whiteout.

Joe Madureira Wolverine, Ink Study.

Joe Madureira has been a favourite Artist, since his early

"X-Men" work for Marvel Comics and "Battle Chasers"

for Cliffhanger-Image.

 This is my fifth attempt at inking another artists work.

It has been a very informative process and something

I've come to enjoy.

Most of the inks here were done with the

Kuretake synthetic brush pen. It still has

its sharp point, so well suited for this job.

 The chain links took the most time to do

on this piece.

 I left filling in the blacks for last.

A very cool page to complete.

I will be at table J03 at Artist Alley on April 26th-28th

at the Calgary Comic & Entertaiment Expo!

Thanks for visiting.

Red Sonja

Slowing it down now. Going to printers

in the next couple of weeks. Lots to choose from.

This one was totally experimental,

a little play time.

James Bond

A little dry brush work on the suit tonight. I'll have to slow

down the production for a bit with Easter break coming up.

I still have a few more drawings to complete before the CCEE,

some completed work may be left out of the print list.

 Thanks for visiting.

Supergirl and Black Widow.

Two today...inked sitting on the couch, not at home this day.

Very delicate lines on Supergirl, as drawn by David Finch.

Kirk, Dixon and Croft.

Another peek at what's on the drawing board. I have close to thirty images

for the show and still deciding on which to print more of. If there are any

in particular, that has your interest let me know and we can work something out.

Thanks for visiting.

Scully, Wonder Woman and Superman.

I am only showing partial images of current

work. Keeping some things a surprise

for the next show.

Trying a little mystery...?

GarSeeYa!

Weird Al, Michonne and Glenn

 I took a little family time this weekend,

slowed down a bit on drawing.

I won't be posting all the drawings for the 

comic show, just to have a few surprises.

I will be limiting my prints to ten or twenty

and the originals will be for sale.

These were really fun to do, up until 2 AM

working on the last two.

Thanks for visiting.

Superman :Jim Lee Pencils.

Working in the longer strokes, refine for details.

Switching between the Kuretake brush and Winsor Newton.

Opaque white for highlights like smoke 

and lighting effects.

Princess and Zombie Fighter

This one was a little more of a challenge with the lighting effects.

Rendering shadows and reflected light, using lines is always

a fun little puzzle. An excellent practice in in line weight

variation and control.

I've seen a few episodes of Walking Dead,

and read the early chapters of the comic book,

but not something I can watch with my young kids around.

Carrie Fisher in the iconic dress...

was another lighting challenge,

more delicate with shorter

brush strokes.

I'll have a limited run of prints

available at the Calgary Comic

and Entertainment Expo 2013.

Brush Pens,Gaius and Six

These brushes are my current favourites.

I have done a simple comparison with the different brushes.

Windsor Newton and Kuretake natural hair, works best for me.

The latter has more "spring" and a nice clean sharp edge, when new.

I can do an entire page with one cartridge on the Kuretake.

The traditional brush gives me more "thick to thin" as

the hairs are thinner and longer. Regulating the amount of ink

that loads is the trick to learn.

They are beautiful things that can create magic on paper.

A tool that has changed little in centuries, and has given

many people knowledge,beauty and expression.

This is the Kuretake natural hair brush.

Loving the lines.

Filling the blacks with a broader brush.

Finished and wanting to move on to the next one.

Thanks for visiting.

Peter Dinklage Inks.

 I recently got my new Kuretake brush tip replacement...

it has been MAGIC. I am really enjoying the work.

Able to do super thin lines for now,

but it will wear down eventually.

The cartridge brush gives me more freedom

and control, compared to a traditional

brush. The "no ink dip" factor keeps the lines flowing smoother.

Thanks for visiting.
