SPOON! Seriously. I love The Tick more than I love you. That’s not saying a lot, because I don’t much care for you. Guaranteed then that if I had to save The Tick, I’d throw you in front of an oncoming train.
Yeah. You. Don’t think I’ll do it? Just fuckin’ watch.
If I paid better attention to the number of days I’ve been doing this, I would have paid tribute to this day better. 69. Hah! How you doin’, brother?
Maria from the classic silent German film Metropolis. I was really trying something with the coloring here. Not sure what, but something.
A former friend of mine from high school and current Facebook friend requested I draw Spawn vs. The Cape when I initially announced the sketch-a-day. Sorry, Bill, but I don’t know what The Cape is. So you get Spawn by himself instead. Also doubly sorry that I kinda cranked this out just to get it on the blog. I’ll do a better Spawn in the future to make it up to you. I still have roughly 300 of these left to do.
Really busy. Spider-Man on a post-it.
Really tight on time this week, so here’s a post-it sketch I did of Adam West as Batman. Also included is another drawing of Adam West as Batman that I did a few years ago. I think it’s a better piece, but didn’t want to blatantly use an old drawing for today’s entry. Ok, back to work.
There are not enough words in every human and non-human language combined to describe how much I love The Tick.
Post-it sketch with ballpoint pen.
Testing out the Pentel Pocket Brush in my sketchbook as I waited to get new tires installed. Surprised it took me this long to get a Batman sketch up during the sketch-a-day quest.
Just testing out the Kuretake Brush Pen with a Kid Flash sketch.
I ordered two pricey/fancy brush pens online and received them this week, and decided to battle them out, cockfighting style.
Or just test them both.
Both have their strong points and weak points. The Pentel Pocket Brush is easier to control and maintain, the ink is waterproof. The Kuretake is smoother and quicker and has a wider variety in line weight and variance, and is darker.
But I loves ’em both.
Every artist is looking for the one piece of equipment that will make them better artists. It doesn’t exist, but these pens come really close for me. I can feel myself changing to suit the pens, and it may be that breakthrough I feel I need to open my art up, and open my brain up.
Either that, or mushrooms.
