On Tuesday, we had the 3rd Draw or Die Draw Together in Pittsburgh.
It was loads of fun and got to chat, draw and hang out with friends, new and old. Great fun, inspiring and very motivating!
Of you’re not already subscribed to Draw or Die, head over and do so for inspiration, drawing prompts and more from DJ Coffman!
This was a fun one to draw, took a bit longer to draw that I thought it would. Worth the extra time and wait! Enjoy!
Here’s a character concept for a new Brian Babyok scripted Phineus story called, “Phineus – Queen of the Cold Night“. Coming soon, after I finish up a few other stories, first!
The new page of Barcrawl of the Damned…behold!!!
I’m having a lot of fun drawing, again!
I’ve been working on new pages and fleshing out story ideas. A lot of my time, recently has been spent working on a commission story. This has been financially helpful, as well as a good kick in my creativity! I haven’t felt this good about art and art making since before the car accident that ruined my drawing thumb. I’m so excited!
The plan is to work on the commission AND my comic at the same time. Now that I’ve unstuck myself, should be doable!
I have been working out some kinks in the two current stories, buy sketching them out in my sketchbook. God, I missed sketchbooking. So, more of sketchbooking to come, as well. Helps me think out loud.
I should have a new page of “Barcrawl” out this week. Above are what I’ve been drawing in the last few days!
Here are some old sketches from my college sketchbooks for Phin and Sara. This was all prepping for what would eventually be “Dismember Me When You’re Gone”, the official first Phineus comic.
There was a lot of playing with looks and poses. As well as a lot of sloppy texture. It’s a fun look back at where I was way back in 1990-1991.
The Contessa is (barring Howie from Teen Wizard) my oldest existing character. I’ve been drawing her ever since I saw Tobe Hooper’s “Lifeforce”.
The Contessa was ported into my comic as a major villain, however, aside from a cameo in “Wake the Dead” she didn’t show up until 2012’s, “Have a Drink on Me”.
I am missing the first picture I made of her, which was confiscated in Middle school, due to nudity. In the class where I fleshed out Phineus, a pre-college art class at CMU, using an early Photoshop like program called Pandavision, I traced a pencil drawing into the program to digitally draw and color it (you can see it below). Keep in mind this was in 1987.
There’s lot’s of boobs involved with her.
