Dailyish Sketch: The Thing

Doug Hills — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:11:02 +0000

This is the first sketch I’ve done in a while, mostly because I was having issues with my hand for the past few weeks, notably that it hurt to hold a pencil. So, while it’s not at 100% yet, it felt good enough to try a sketch for today.

The goal of this sketch was to see if I could give the Thing a bit more depth (as far as drawing his rocky skin) than I have done in the past. Now, whether or not I’ve succeeded is up to you dear viewers, but it’s a start.

Dailyish Sketch: GL Kyle Rayner (90′s version)

Yeah, I know…Hal Jordan is the Green Lantern everyone loves (again). But it was the Kyle Rayner issues that had me hooked back in the 90s. What can I say? I’ve got a soft spot for the guy.

Dailyish Sketch: Hawkeye

Well, I drew Green Arrow last week, it’s only fair that I took a shot an Marvel’s merry archer.

Orange Lantern Stacey

So this was something I couldn’t pass up on drawing.

My wife took a “Which Lantern Are You?” quiz she found on Newsarama, and decided to see which she’d be when in a good mood (a Blue Lantern – Hope), and when in a bad mood (an Orange Lantern – Avarice).

So I thought I’d see how she’d look as the new Agent Orange.

The Muppets

While playing around with the Artrage 3 demo, I took up @fuzzytypewriter‘s challenge and took a shot at drawing the Muppets. I might come back and ink this at some point.

Jorge the Mutant Boy

One of the problems with not drawing for a while is that getting back on the horse can be a pain, especially when you’re just not mentally in the game.

In the case of Jorge the Mutant Boy here (suggested by my buddy and Ten Ton Studios compatriot @Reilly_Brown ), this meant a few more drafts than planned. So as I’m sure you other artists can attest, working (and re-working) on a sketch can tax your confidence when it doesn’t come out how you want it to.

Ultimately, I’m happy with how this came out (even if it took longer than my usual 30 min speed sketch). I see places in my technique that needs work, but that’s all part of the learning/evolving process.

Incidentally, those that aren’t familiar with Jorge should check out the Ten Ton Studios Jam. This was something that we did back in 2006 (?) as a means to telling a story and passing it along to the next person to continue. Lots of fun.
