Posted on September 12, 2011 by Ampersand

Ongoing work-in-progress for a drawing that will be auctioned off as part of this year’s “Women of Wonder Day.” The woman in the drawing is Rochelle Wayne, who was Robin in an “Elseworlds” Batman comic set during the French Revolution. Rochelle Wayne was designed by the wonderful José Luis García-López; my attempt to draw García-López [...] Continue reading →

Sketch of the 1950s Batwoman and Batgirl

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Ampersand

Katherine (Kathy) Kane and her niece Betty Kane were the original Batwoman and Batgirl, in the 1950s.
This was kind of interesting to sketch. I had to draw things I virtually never draw, like — well — superheroes. And high heels.

Sketches of Fat Guys for Fat People Art Week

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Ampersand

It’s Fat People Art Week! A few contributions…. I’m trying to learn how to paint in Photoshop, and I was playing with some more painterly approaches in the drawing below (although I still didn’t give up the crutch of line art!). Still a long way to go… And here’s the exact same drawing, except I [...] Continue reading →

A Bunch Of Twenty-Five Dollar Sketches

Posted on January 7, 2011 by Ampersand

I have an ongoing offer to do a ten $25 dollar sketch for people who buy a copy of Hereville from me. It’s fun for me to do, and I think people enjoy having a one-of-a-kind drawing done just for them. With only a couple of exceptions, these were drawn entirely on computer, and then [...] Continue reading →

I had a great time. Anyway, here’s the drawing I made, based on [...] Continue reading →

I love Rhoda. Although I wonder how many Hereville readers will know who she is without having to click on the link? Continue reading →

Video of me drawing Mirka

Posted on November 2, 2010 by Ampersand

Here’s a video I made of me drawing Mirka. I’m not very happy with how the drawing came out, to tell the truth, but the video might still be fun to watch. The video is speeded up to ten times the actual speed I drew at.

And part two: Continue reading →
