Warm-up: 3.7.12

I was on a Skype call with my buddy EJ while I was sketching this out. He loves Superman, so I’m sure he’ll get a warm fuzzy feeling in his pants when he finds out. This was supposed to be just a pencil sketch, but I decided to take it to digital completion since I’m pretty happy about the spirit of it. I love All-Star, and this is somewhat of a love letter to Morrison and Quitely.

Warm-up: 2.1.12

Pencil Flex: Star Wars

No artist worth his salt can run a sketch blog and not do Star Wars. And we are very very salty artists. I managed to whip out three pieces before I caught a nasty case of tonsillitis. Not back at full steam yet as I’m posting this, but certainly feeling a lot better than a coupla days ago. My midi-chlorian count was in the shit.

Just recently moved to my new home in Davao, and books and gear are being shipped one giant box at a time. Below are some quick sketches I did over the past week while waiting for my scanner to arrive. Oh how I’ve missed your glowy scanny surface…

Avenger a Day: Captain America

Just got around to this last piece… sorry. It should really be called Avenger a Day Late at this point. I wasn’t sure whether to draw Bucky or Steve, but I guess this makes it more current. Don’t ask me how he can hear through his cowl… maybe the costume transmits sound through winglets.

Avenger a Day: Iron Man

Though I like this suit a lot more than the Granov/ Extremis armor, the chest detail is a real bitch to get the hang of. I do dig that the overall design is a lot sleeker though. Here’s hoping I didn’t fuck it up too badly.

Avenger a Day: Hawkeye

Surprisingly fun to draw, this sketch of Clint Barton didn’t feel right until I got around to giving him a slight smirk. His mask is probably also a lot shorter than usual, but hey… that’s how I draw him. I never got to know Hawkeye pre-Disassembled, but I have a feeling he’s gonna be my favorite Avenger in the Heroic Age.

Avenger a Day: Wolverine

Not quite my favorite Avenger to draw, especially with the mask on, but the canucklehead is growing on me. I’ve only ever sketched him a handful of times but every time I do, I dial back to my Madureira roots.

Avenger a Day: Thor

johnamor — Thu, 20 May 2010 17:51:34 +0000

In celebration of Avengers Day… or Week… I thought it’d be fun to do tribute sketches for Marvel’s flagship team. To kick things off, the God of Thunder.

Almost screwed this up when I made his ears visible in the prelim sketch, but the way Coipel draws that new helmet is nothing less than tricky.

Black Fauna: Baboon

Just trying something out…
