Felt a little burnt out this weekend so I took myself out sketching to get recharged. There were some AMAZING characters out at the Chic-fil-a. Always good practice for drawing comics.

Muertina sketches
On October - 23 - 2009
I try to observe and sketch interesting people whenever I see them. Especially when I can see how they would relate to a character in one of my stories. The other day driving past the high-school I saw a girl wearing Mexican wrestler boots and they seemed so striking. These were some quick 2 minute sketches to get the gist of the costume design.
Wonderwut sketches

Now that I’ve finally introduced this little guy in Super Zeroes I can share a few sketches of him. He’s one of my favorite characters. He makes me smile every time I see him. What do you think?

Life drawing Sketchbook pages
On October - 15 - 2009
Technically, these aren’t from my sketchbook. They’re from my clipboard. I’m finding it easier to do layouts on loose sheets of paper than in a sketchbook. This is also an example of sketching from life and applying it to the super zeroes character designs. For instance, the second sheet, was from my lunch break today. I was noticing how the birds under the truck were total sillhouttes and seemed to be part of the shadow. Also, the way that the girl in the corner of the restaurant sat with her arms and legs all gangly. The frumpy kid with the sloth walk too was something. Most of these are memory sketches. I’ll take pictures in my head and walk away to draw them when I get back to the studio. Its very helpful practice.
The top sheet, by the way are sketches for today’s strip over at www.Superzeroes.net if you would like to catch a glimpse into my process.
Favorite panel

This is one of my favorite panels so far from Super Zeroes. I like the character interaction. And the colors turned out alright too!
Potato – Super Zeroes

I did this sketch this weekend at SketchClub of Potato, the bulldog from Super Zeroes. I love bulldogs. I think they’re adorable.
This sketch was done with prismacolor pencils, ad markers, white out and brush pen.

Quizno girl
On October - 2 - 2009
I’m going back to posting sketches and artwork now. I hope everyone has had a chance to check out my new webcomic! I’ll continue to post at least once a week about it to remind everyone to check it out!
Yesterday I had a meeting so I stopped off for lunch to sketch and pass the time. I saw this girl at the sandwich shop with her family. They were singing Boys II Men and talking about them in concert here in town this week. I liked her profile.
