Now that I've completed both of my last two big illustration assignments, I've decided I'm going to spend the next few months doing cover recreations only...and then pick up some more book illustration assignments in late Fall. If you are interested in a classic cover recreation (silver/bronze age - not really a fan of doing recreations where there's a lot of computer color & typesetting), here is what I'm asking: 11x17" cover recreation ($100 each) - all logos, trade dress/etc hand-drawn on Strathmore 300 series bristol boards (minus the UPC box, unless you really want a Spidey head or something in that space - otherwise, I extrapolat

Quandry regarding older, but popular work.

Mar 26, 2017

Between 10-15 years ago, I used to draw comic page commissions where I would offer to illustrate a page of script by the commissioner. The idea was that this would set me apart from all of the artists doing mostly pinup work, and it also sounded like a fun project. It *was* pretty fun for a while, although the kind of jobs that would come my way quickly transitioned (so to speak) into mostly fetish or transformation pieces. I was OK with this for a while, and did them for a couple of years.

Question for Copic/Blick marker users

Sep 25, 2015

Hi guys, I've been thinking about getting some basic Copic or Blick markers to do some flat color on the black and white ink sketch cards I've been doing.. For those of you who use markers on your ink work, is it better to color *after* the inking is done, or color over the pencils and *then* ink? I'm hoping that they work well over existing ink, as that'd be easiest for me at my novice coloring level... but I'd love to hear techniques or suggestions, thanks!
