Got to work on this guy while doing up lessons for upcoming classes. The Thing always was one of my favorites!
I will be doing him in watercolor too.
You can check out the process over on my Substack page HERE
Here’s the watercolor:
Batgirl character piece for in class demonstrations. Part of my “Comics! Comics! Comics!” series which includes comic book art, comic strip creation (to include gag panels), and Manga comics/graphic novels.
You know, normally I don’t like to be so direct when I do a piece that is a social commentary. Not saying I don’t do it, but it is rare. But I have noticed, particularly over the last 10 years or so, that cartoonists seem to be overwhelmingly on the left. And not always in an objective way. I’m sorry – but the news that’s coming out paints a pretty grim picture – but it’s a picture we all need to see, despite the cries of “Fascism.”
As long as that man is a comics nerd
These are the drawings I’m working on today: A political cartoon, 2 pages for the coloring book I’m working on, and 2 superhero drawings for an upcoming class.
Busy day. Love it!
There is also an article in the Warwick Beacon: Here
