A Touch of Colour

Sweet mercy! I have not coloured anything in about four years, even though I really want to get into it. Coloured a Hulk portrait I did recently. Didn't turn out so bad I suppose. The goal was basically to represent some form of basic light principals. Haven't really decided on a colouring style yet so it appears pretty stock and boring. No direction. Hopefully in the near future my colouring develops some pizazz and substance.

Heads Will Roll

I met this guy Steven Segovia who's penciling for Dark Wolvereine, at my local Comic Book Store. A truly talented artist from the Phillipines, lightning quick and and has a crazy style. He did some awesome stuff for New Avengers which was Aneurysm inducing, around when the Civil War Arc kicked off. But I digress. I showed him some of my work and as a feedback he said I should sketch some small portraits to practice drawing small and studying facial structure. I'm not sure this is what he had in mind but it was good practice and didn't turn out too bad. Critiques more than welcome!

Old Cover Concept

Well lookey here! An old cover concept cover I had made about 18 months ago. Ended up on the Office floor so to speak but it's aged OK. Basically no shading or rendering; the idea being that without it, the colorist would have as much freedom as he liked. Possibly painting over the whole thing. Anyways... Thought that it wouldn't make it as a cover, It would be a suitable blog post.

Sketch Book Entry 2

Second entry of the Sketch Book project I'm working on. Some much needed facial studies of Evan Wade's female partner and fellow detective, Elle Lawna. Really struggled with female characters until not too long ago. Last year my female characters looked unnaturally a lot like my male characters. Fortunately, they appear more feminine now and less like lady boys. Critiques and advice
are very welcome, I still struggle a lot with drawing women. Wah.
