BATMAN: HUSH

I copied this drawing from Batman: Hush, from DC Super Heroes issue no. 4 (PSICOM).  The penciller is Jim Lee.  I did this with a ballpoint pen! (except with the solid black, I had used a brush for the background).  Hey!  This was just me doodling with a ballpoint pen.  I drew this artwork (naks!) last 2005 AD! =)

...up in the sky!...Superman and Poison Ivy.

After scanning, I didn't even bother to clean up the smudges using Photoshop.I want a sketchy drawing even though, as far as I know, in comics, it must not look sketchy (in pencils and specially in inks,...it must have fluid lines).  But, hey,  I copied this from comics, but I made this not for comics, this is just my practice piece!...and I wanted it to be sketchy, just like drawings in a sketchy sketchbook! =) ...again, this was just me doodling with a ballpoint pen.

NOTE: I wasn't able to copy exactly all the details, sorry sir Jim Lee.This was my first time to copy an artwork from a great artist!

It's really difficult for me to draw women!  I need references...maybe what I need is a live model!...or better yet modelS! =)



Man & woman...



















================================
One of the great comic artists that could draw excellent sexy women !
====> Mr. Michael Turner!
He is well known for drawing sexy female!  But of course, he is also excellent in making muscular male, not to mention his great storytelling techniques, he is an excellent penciller!  Michael Turner died from cancer.

I would recommend this book to any Michael Turner fan out there.

'just doodling with a ballpoint pen...

Once upon a time, while watching Art Attack at Disney channel with my eldest son, the host, Neil Buchanan, used a ballpoint pen in drawing a certain artwork!
Also, I read on one of the How-to-draw books of Wizard that one of the comic artists uses ballpoint pen to make a rough draft/sketch!
Also, I was able to talk to one of the Filipino artists/book illustrators during a book convention (I forgot his name, sorry), He told me that even though a ballpoint pen doesn't have the elegant reputation as brushes have, some artists actually use them to make ellegant artworks! (search it on YouTube or Google and you'll see!)
 Also, ummm...ok, that's enough... =)

From then on, my point of view about ballpoint pens has changed!
