Here is a rough thirty minute sketch for the cover of a comic I'm currently working on. I'm probably going to have to get a Proko skull and do lots of studies as I develop this.

Cyclops study after Jim Lee I did for my buddy's birthday. Inked with Copics, Pentel Brush pen and Posca.

Halo from young justice, dc comicy

A couple dc character pencil drawings, one of poison ivy, the other is pied piper, no study of anyone in particular, just references here and there and imagination and splooshing it on the page

Design based on the Transformers G1 Warpath toy. I drew this from imagination, so some of the perspective will be off. I did ink it traditionally, but then realised the drawing was too big for my scanner, so I took the photo of the pencils into Clip Studio Paint and re-inked it. I also changed the position of the arm and pistol. I then added an explosion I'd drawn from a previous project, and coloured the whole piece in CSP.

Here is a master study of one of Alex Ross's Immortal Hulk covers. Getting my head around this gouache thing.

Jim Lee study

Walt Simonson study

Baby steps… I'm not up to full-on covers yet, but I did take a big old marker and try and sketch like Frank Miller. Please file this under, "Finished, Not Perfect."

I grew up reading TMNT comics, and listening to the Grateful Dead. (Things haven’t changed much) When I first was introduced to Heinrich Kley I was blown away to realize my first experience with Kley was actually on the Grateful Dead album cover for Terrapin Station. I had no idea at the time who Kley was, and I always attributed the dancing turtles to Stanley Mouse who designed many of my favorite album covers for The Dead. Thought it would be fun to mash-up a bunch of my favorite things for a comic sketch cover, Kley, TMNT, and The Dead! So here’s Mikey and Donnie (rocking out to Terrapin Station) after Kley. Sketched/inked in Procreate. Can't wait to do some more of these, such a fun project prompt!

Batman sketch cover.

This is the last of my Green Lantern sketch covers.

Another recently completed sketch cover. I view these as preliminary sketches. The idea is to get a bunch of them done and develop the best ones. I never know in advance which drawings are going to be my best compositions. By doing a lot, some of them will stand out and it's those that I'll choose do develop. This is one of the prongs in my development. I'm also focusing a lot on studying the figure, drawing from live, and doing master studies to understand gouache and watercolor. Sometime in the fall I want to start putting this all together into original compositions. All this is to say that there is a method to the madness.

Spider-Men sketch cover.

Another Green Lantern sketch cover. My buddy Frank, who owns a shop in Virginia, is a huge Green Lantern fan and put a pile of these in front of me for Free Comic Book Day, last Saturday.

Another Spider-man sketch cover.

Another sketch from last Saturday. While I'm adding watercolor to the rest of the covers I did, I think this one works best in black and white.

A couple sketches I did recently that could be covers I guess haha pretty happy with both of them but especially the swap thing. These were done with the Olo zorn pallet that stan arranged which me no greens so happy I could make that work!

Another sketch cover from Saturday. I only finished the black and whit on Saturday, and I'm adding the watercolor to these a bit later.

Here is one I did last Saturday on Free Comic Book Day.
