Hal Jordan: Green Lantern

I am trying to participate in the Ten Ton Studios website sketch challenge more.  This week is Green Lantern.

I've been studying Vilppu lately.  He sometimes draws around the form to help define how it recedes or protrudes into space.  I'm starting to incorporate some of that idea into my drawings.  I still have anatomy work and a host of other issues to confront, but study is helping and these practices are extremely valuable exercises, too.

Portland Comic Book Show

I had a table at the latest Portland Comic Book Show this past weekend.  First time.  It was a lot of fun.  I met many new people and a couple of old acquaintances, sold some original comic pages, did a ton of free sketches for the kids who stopped by, and also did my first live commissions at a show.  After this experience, I'm pretty sure I'll get a table at the Emerald City ComiCon coming this spring in Seattle, and probably do the Portland one again next fall.

Here's one of the pieces I did that day.  I'll post some of the other ones I took photos of soon.

Getting into the blog swing

Yes, I know I'm years behind the curve on blogging, but I want someplace to throw some of my sketching.  I'll try for a few updates a week, at least one a week.  I'm currently working on re-educating myself on figure drawing since that is my biggest weakness and most potentially lucrative skill.
