Drawn Out - Post-It Note Sketching

Even if I'm not at my computer doing digital artwork or at my drawing table with comic book art boards I still find myself sketching.  I'll draw a couple lines, then draw some shapes and before you know it; Batman is on the page.

I have some Post-It notes at my desk and sometimes I get to work a little early or I may be on hold on the phone a long time so I just start sketching.  I decided to share some of those sketches of what I do with a Post-It note and a Uni-Ball Signa 0.7mm pen.  

I drew up my version of the Reverse Flash(or is it Professor Zoom?).  This one I also included coloring with a hi-liter pen from Office Max.  

Next up is Superman.  For some reason I find myself having more difficulty drawing the Man of Steel more than any other hero.  I am finding that less is more when it comes to details in the face.

I've always liked the look of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  They're all a ton of fun to draw and definitely a go to for me.

Blasto the Clown is from the warped minds here at Abnormal Entertainment.  Based on a character that was supposed to appear in a fart fetish video, Blasto has taken on a life of his own in the world of digital comics.  An unlikely hero, Blasto is great to draw, no matter what mood I'm in.

Drawn Out: It's Not Easy Being Green Lantern

Before you check out Green Lantern, take a look at the new logo!  The next "Drawn Out" blog will be about what went into making it.  There are other versions of it and I'd appreciate feedback on what you like best.










I was warming up to get ready to draw a comic I wrote but I decided to do more than just the digital pencils.  Green Lantern is a fun character and with his inter-galactic travels, the colors can be fun.

Admittedly, I am not very familiar with doing colors but I've been having fun with them.  Everything shown here are really just sketches and experimenting.  I've been working with blending and adding glow and having a ton of fun with it.  Hopefully one day when I have a project that actually calls for some of these effects, I can be ready for them.

All of these sketches were pencilled, inked and colored digitally using a Wacom tablet and using Manga Studio 5 as the software.

The first art "Drawn Out" post included a black and white sketch of a guy with a Mohawk enjoying himself as he listens to punk rock band Rancid.  I have since added some color to it.  I think I like the black and white better.
