Well, I was planing to hold onto this one for a while, but I’ve recently gotten some feedback on a recent strip that’s put me in a really good mood tonight. A few nights back, I was drawing in my sketchbook and came up with this idea. I realize that early STC dealt with some 4th wall stuff and I wanted to take that idea to the next level. I think I might, at some point want to improve on this but I hope you guys like it anyway.

This sketch was a really fun one. Not only did I get a ton of faces to work from, this was a special request by one of my favorite webcomics artists, Paul Southworth. Many of you might know his work, Ugly Hill. Along with Lars of Least I Could Do, Paul’s work has been something I hold my art against when I judge my sequential artistic development. Anyway. This piece was an honor to do, not only cuz it was fun, but because I have so much respect for the person who asked for it.

For those of you not already avidly following me on Twitter, I recently got a new job. Last week began my first of 7 weeks of training. Along with a large binder of info to consume, we are also given a legal pad to write on. So with the help of this trusty pad, and my issued pen, I did the following sketches.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m currently in the middle of training for my new job. While I’m enjoying the experience, there are times that tend to get slow. During those times, I tend to sketch a little. About 3 or so weeks ago I made a post to show the results of those sketches. While I’ve been drawing a decent bit there, there hasn’t been much for me to take home that would be worthy of posting to STC…until today. One of the young ladies in the class was nice enough to bring a picture that I thought looked cool (composition and pose) so I drew it. Below are the results.

By the way, I’ve been considering opening up my business model for commissions. Considering I do work in pencil, ink, color, portraits, comic stuff, cartoons, and caricature, I think my style can be pretty diverse. I just finished up a commission and will be showing the results of that off in the next week. Anyway, let me know if any of you feel that might be a successful avenue to travel. Considering how busy I am with STC, school, work, and family, it probably won’t kick off for a little while, but I’d like to get some feelers in the mean-time. Also, I’m considering designing custom avatars that’ll be available in different styles. Your feedback on that would be appreciated. And thanks for bearing with me during these busy days.
