Lots of doodles
Fourth doodle down was from a quick note taken from a Most Wanted Man. When I was paging through offerings on the web page I used to watch the movie, that is the thumbnail for the movie. That exact image. Interesting.

1974-21 years old- With this talent, no one encourages you
You really have to be too dumb to realize how bad you are.
And enthusiasm to keep learning.
I thought I was giving Corben a run for his money with this.
Middle School Marty Drew Like THIS
For your amusement: an old middle school pal just sent these (blurry) pix to me.Two drawings from 8th grade era...better than I expected--but dangit, I still make so many of these same mistakes!!
This was an attempt to capture our Dungeons & Dragons characters. I am the bearded one (don't remember EVER craving a beard--but wouldn't it be oh-so-timely these days?). Dave is indeed African-American, and I admit to being happily impressed that I could get some decent ethnic individuation all the way back then...but that girl beneath us--?!?! I must've abandoned it when I realized I couldn't get her face right--or locate Dave's legs properly.
Silver Surfer was my fave character, a product of my first in-depth exposure to comics coming thru the 70's compendium "Bring On The Bad Guys." The bad guy here is Terrax I think? I see Kirby Krackle jostling with Bob Layton sun-burst highlights.... I should've spent more time copying DIRECTLY from other artists....

Scans From Klaus Janson -DC Comics guide to Pencilling-Great anatomy
Library trip. Randomly checked this Klaus Janson book out.
It's a lot more you might expect.
These few anatomy pages show the quality and brevity of a good teacher.
Copying this little bit of reference right before you start sketching could really get you in the zone a comic artist needs to invent the figure.
Doodling while watching movies.
Blowing up things from random doodles on a sheet to cause focus
Doodles assortment while watching The Edge of Tomorrow.
Great flick.
Doodles watching A Walk Among The Tombstones
Back to Ventriloquism
No commission. So I'll go back to work on JOINED TOGETHER.
Get that momentum back.
Doodles for Tuesday
