A bit of the process

So I love sketch blogs that show a bit of people's process. I think it's rather... well brave isn't the right work, but maybe honest when artists let you behind the curtain. So with that in mind I decided to post some of the preliminary sketches for the work I have created here. I hope you enjoy them.

Taking a Dip

So I fell a little behind schedule this week, what with having to shovel out of 23 inches of snow which fell in my area. I had my drawing done at the beginning of the week, but didn't get around to inking and coloring it until today.

I have attempted to capture the cavalier attitude to which Mister Miracle approaches danger. This is also the first time I can remember attempting an underwater scene. Water can be a tricky thing to capture in ink. Enjoy.

Mr Miracle

I SO wanted to get to this show.



Sadly, the poster was very vague about the date. I'm sure I missed it.

This one took awhile to get right. I knew I wanted him to be in the middle of an escape, but for the longest time I had him dangling from his feet or falling head first. Once I turned him over it all rushed in and discovered itself. I love it when that happens.
