A Few New Drawings...

Nothing major here, just three more drawings. Each is actually part of a larger plan, so they are technically all works in progress. I'll have the finished projects up here too!

At SpartanCon May 10th

I had a great time at SpartanCon  last Saturday. A very cool event, and it was held in a library with a very large comics section!

Saying Goodbye to "Night Craft Mini #1"

I attended SpartanCon in Spartanburg, SC this weekend. I always like to have free samples at the show, and the 2-page story in Night Craft Mini #1 has been a popular giveaway for the past two years. 

But it is time for something new. 

Starting at HeroesCon this year there will be a 4-page Night Craft Mini #2. 

So here is the original, a two-page taste of the kind of stories that can be found the pages of my full-size self-published comic book series, Night Craft:

The Dragon Warrior

Here's a little drawing I came up with. I never could write fantasy stories, but I sure like drawing that type of world.

Still in the ink stage...

Pencils on 9 by 12 Bristol board... I will always be primarily a traditional artist...

The sketch that started it. It is always to look at something in the sketchbook and realize, "Hey, I want to finish that!"

Spaceman - Digital Painting

This is not a proper step-by-step presentation, but it does show some of the stages as I take a drawing from my sketchbook and turn it into a digital painting.

A Western Scene in Graphite

The finished drawing, graphite on 9" by 12" Bristol board.

This is the line art, before the shading was added.

The sketch stage where I worked out the composition, and included a skull to add a story element to the scene.

The Hikers and the Dinosaur

Inking this entirely with technical pens was a bit of a change for me since

 I mostly work with brushes and dip pens...

The 9" by 12" pencil drawing...

The first draft from a sketchbook...

Some more sketches working out the composition and some poses.
