NudeStudy

It's been a long time since I have drawn nudes, and a long time since I've been able to draw them with enough time to complete the drawing. Here is a sketch I did at the High School of Art & Design in NYC this weekend and I was able to draw for 8 hours without worry. Usually I draw models for 10/20 minutes at most so this was pretty relaxing. It was a great chance to keep the flow going and put together something I am very proud of. The last time I drew like this was in college back in 2001

The Marvels

I have enjoyed the discussions about Ms. Marvel's new costume (on the right) and honestly, it's probably the most classic image I have ever seen in this modern age.  Generally when a characters costume is changed, it's very gimmicky and lacks any substance but this change is so different and at the same time very majestic, it does the character honor.

The other character I don't know much about, but I do know her name is Sharon Ventura and she use to go by the Ms. Marvel title. Doing a little research helped me to find out that she use to be the She-Thing as well.  I never understood that character , but it lead to an interesting bunch of stories in the Fantastic Four comic.

I've done a great deal of learning this past year.  This is the original inked drawing that was done and I realized I needed to change the composition. This image alone was fine, but was too static.  Bringing them both closer to the viewer felt more immediate and imposing so I made the changes for the color version. 

Wonder Woman TV Redesign

As the pilot for the new Wonder Woman show was buzzing on the internet, I participated in a redesign contest for the outfit.  This is one of my few attempts at redesigning costumes.  I may try this some more later, it can be a pretty fun exercise.
