Sketch of the day: Angel of the X-Men REDUX

Today I redrew Angel from the X-Men and made sure I took my time on him and especially his wings.  I really like how he turned out.  I hope this sketch redeems me for the monstrosity of a couple days ago.

Sketch of the day: A creature of some sort

Today's sketch is of a creature from a how-to-draw book I have.  I am making my way through the book drawing everything inside it's pages.

Sketch of the day: Angel of the X-Men

Today I sketched, very quickly, and colored, also very quickly, Angel from the X-Men.  This is after his metal wings broke and his feather wings grew back.  He was difficult for me to draw, it was mainly the wings.  I did not like how his wings turned out but that is why I am drawing, to get better at it.

Sketch of the day: Red Riding Hood and Bandit

This is from a few days ago, drawn from a How To book.  I need a thinner marker for inking.

Sketch of the day: Sorceress and Female Portrait

Today I am sharing a drawing I did of a Sorceress and also a Female portrait, they are from a "how to draw fantasy cartoons" book.

Bonus Sketch of the day: A horse

This I drew shortly after my mom had a stroke this past month.  I had told her that I would draw a horse for her while she was awake and before she could talk again.  She loves horses and it seemed very fitting and therapeutic for me.

Sketch of the day: Polaris of the X-Men

I drew Polaris in her classic costume from when she was part of the X-Men.  This was drawn this past week and thought I would share it since I have access to my scanner again.  I used markers to color her.

Sketch of the day: Colossus of the X-Men

Today I bought some Copic markers that are in really light tones.  Perfect for giving shadow and light to metal, so I drew Colossus from the X-Men comic books and then gave him some color.

Sketch of the day: Meggan of Excalibur

Today I bought some markers and tried them out.  Decided to try drawing Meggan from my favorite comic book Excalibur.

Sketch of the day: Karma of the New Mutants

As I had said in the previous post, my Mom had a stroke and I am in Ohio helping her and my Dad out.  She is doing better now but it will still be a long road to recovery.  She was moved into a Rehab center today where it's more quiet and less hectic than the ICU.  She is able to communicate now; she nods, sometimes mouths words and will also rarely speak. She's eating on her own a little bit as well.  Thinks are looking up for her. I was able to take some time today and draw while visiting her in her room.  I started out drawing a woman's face and it evolved into Karma from the X-Men and New Mutants comics.  I was very pleased with how she turned out.  Once I am back home in WA state I will be able to keep up with my drawing better.

Older sketch of the day: Growl

As some may know from my Facebook page, my mother had a stroke and I am in Ohio helping out my Dad and visiting her at the hospital.  I was able to sketch today but have to try to figure out how to scan my sketch into the computer here.  So today I am sharing an older sketch I did a few weeks back.
