A Little Lion Around

Ah yes, the blotter page... This sheet rests, comfortably used and overworked, near the front of my current sketchbook. It started as random scribbles with Micro 01 permanent art pen and never seems to stop. I've gone back to it many times to add, without much rhyme or reason. Maybe it keeps me unblocked? I've used everything on it from ballpoint to Sharpie.

Poker Face

My favorite sketching medium, the Turquoise Brand drawing "lead", comes in several colors, but red being my favorite for its workability. It give you deep color or sublte shading and doesnt smear like my trusty backup 6B graphite. Anyway, its a simple sketch (20min) then outlined in .05 Black ink.

Poker Face

Maybe start a series of poker faces? Dunno. Here's another started right off with a dual-nib Prismacolor French Grey 50% Marker. Getting closer to details I switched to 70% Cool Grey. Finally, a bit of finepoint sharpie and I call it 'done'.

Little Devil

The colored pencils really show off the tooth of the paper. I think it's recycled...

Black and Knight

Another page of random scribbles that somehow managed to coalesce. Using a photo I roughed in the outline, then scribbled with my left hand (I'm right-handed). Done in about an hour.

Comics Bar & Grill

Reading the Sunday comics and having my coffe, I decided to fill the page with every comic character present in that particular paper. Maybe you can name them all?
