New Ballpoint Sketches

Here's a few more ballpoint pen sketches for an upcoming page of The Underground #2.

I really enjoyed these ones. The Shock Troops Bios had recently been written for Twisted Studio's website, and this really gave the characters alot more substance. And these pics were a great opportunity to demonstrate this. I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned to http://www.twistedstudio.ca/ for the completed pages that these sketches will be used in.

Sketchy McSketch Sketch

I just thought I'd take a moment to show what I'm sketching right now for Bad Seeds. It's rough so don't mind the scribbles. It's a neat shot of my process though, the rough lines in red pen are a part of my first step, then I usually go back over the image with blue pen to start flushing out the lines and textures that I like. Today I didn't have a blue pen within arms reach so I was using black. After this I'll scan it into the computer for digital inking and colouring.

Oldie but Goodie

While looking over the site, and deciding what graphics to add in order to break up some of the heavy text spots, I remembered an image I drew many years ago that would be perfect. So I ventured into the dungeon, cracked open the archives, blew off some dust, and pulled out this image of burning candles that I had drawn back in 2000? 2001? It was used on the introduction page for The Underground #6: Revelations (That's right, the original series), and I knew that with a little polish, it would fit in nicely.

I have to admit that I was a little concerned to see how an older image would hold up to the newer art posted on the site. And the truth of the matter is; It looks pretty cool! I had drawn this when I was really getting into my artistic groove, and after a fair hiatus, I can feel that I am now reaching that groove again. So, all in all, I consider it a pretty good match. I even used it as my Facebook profile picture! Why? Because I'm THAT geeky.
