69 - and an end to the year!

And here we have the send off to the year. Another set of eyes from the pages of the Chris Hart book I am working my way through. Guess I'll just keep wasting my time with this until I have a better idea.

Goodbye 2010, hello 2011.

68 - with new eyes, girly eyes that is

And we get the good with the bad. Good for me I finished another page and bad for the world as The Walking Dead Season 1 has come to an end. I thought it would be a fitting tribute time so after doing my natural/realistic eye versus simplified female eye I decided to grab my Walking Dead TPB #4 and try to re-draw one of the first images that Charlie Adlard did of my favorite TWD character, Michonne. She hasn't shown up on the TV show yet but we call all count on her making an appearance as those of us that have read the novels know they won't be able to have TWD without Michonne and her fine blade skills. The woman is dangerous and deadly.

And now that season 1 has come to an end and we have to wait months for season 2, it's sad, but at least we all have something great to look forward to. If you are a fan of The Walking Dead or just zombies in general I would suggest a fantastic way to get your zombie fix whilst awaiting the next season would be to over to iTunes and download Walking Dead Cast. It's full of great zombie goodness and the hosts are fans of Kirkman's The Walking Dead. You can also check them out at walkingdeadcast.com, cool stuff to check out. And remember, in the word's of the walkingdeadcast folk, don't get bit.

67 - male eyes part 2 or the second thumb to the eye

Keep plugging away. Of all the tips I have ever read, all the advice I have ever heard, it is to just keep putting pencil to paper and burn through the first 2000 or 3000 bad drawings that we all have within us to get to the good stuff. One more step along the way, one more page done.

66 - male eyes

A page of male eyes to continue as I work my way through the Hart book, enjoy.

65 - And the eyes have it

Still going on with the Christopher Hart book, now we start on the eyes. The page had a nice version of realistic versus the more simplified form. I did those and then figured why not throw down a sketch of the man that's all eye. For those that don't know, and SHAME on you if you don't, this gentleman is Allen the Alien. One of the coolest characters ever and one of my very favorite supporting characters in the wonderfulness that is Invincible.
Flat out if you are not reading this book you don't actually like superhero comics. Invincible is the best thing out each month for the capes persuasion and Allen has always been a crowd pleasure whenever he shows up.
Go out and get this book, right now issue 75 is on the stands and has some serious doings inside as the Viltrumite War kicks it into gear. Though the best idea is to go back and read it from the start, I figure if you start now, you will go back and read it from the word go as it is just that good.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER - never get between a Unopan and his grubs!

64 - well they ain't tails

Two more and away we go...
Just more heads from the Christopher Hart Simplified Anatomy book. I'm really enjoying the book and it's nice to actually be enjoying drawing again. Sketches, tattoo designs for friends and redesigning a beer company logo, things are good.

And to bring back on old fav...
SAT-Spoiler Alert Theater: Saw 3-D
Did the yearly outing to see Saw 3-D with my friend Valynn and I have to say it was well worth the extreme theater prices for a 3D movie. Great traps, the fun of having body parts flung at the screen off of saw blades tearing into bodies. Nothing like watching a film in 3D that was shot specifically for 3D, especially a horror film. If you ever enjoyed a Saw film I would recommend seeing this one in the theaters and paying for the 3D glasses, it is well worth it. If they are actually ending the franchise with film as they advertised it will be a fitting end. And if not I will see you guys next year Saw - Jigsaw Reborn!

63 - Nothing like a striking image...

Flipping through a back issue bin over at Captains Comics, on Vista in Boise if you wanna stop by, and was struck by this great image of a scary ass clown and a small child. I had to check it out, and when I saw that it was a Joe Kubert cover I knew I had to own it. One more great image in my collection.

And to somewhat continue a theme, we have a sketch page of heads from Christopher Hart's Simplified Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist. Good stuff, but now we must increase the speed captain!
