Magic Markers

2 drawings I blasted out at the Savannah Jazz club in the Mission district. Used my new buddy, prismacolor markers.


Light gray markers (20-40 or 30-50) with bic ballpoint pens, used as a quick straight-forward way to learn a design style. Mostly silhouette-first. Inspired by Eric Scales, Florian Satzinger, and various teachers @ AAU. It's officially "on".





I hope I never have to draw a character like Pocahontas for a prolonged period of time. Ideal proportions *shudder*...
My 1st ever attampt at drawing the Bat. Copied from a freeze frame.

Nicely done. I find that I'm relying a little too much on my marker. It's great for that intiial layin, but I almost need a second darker one for the shadows and stuff. Just be careful to keep some good contrast of light and dark areas.

Oh and by the way those hands are great!
