I've put together some of the roughs I did for the latest rounds of sketches. Not all are represented though. I tend to put down ideas at any given time in my sketchbook and that's what these are. Other sketches were done right on the final board or as roughs on 11" x 17" copy paper. The sketchbook ideas had to be scanned, enlarged and printed out at final size to light table them. This is why I have them all ready to go here. Hope you all enjoy!

So you wanna get rough, eh?

Gene,
I love this stuff! To me, it is great to see and understand the process and how it evolves.
Question. If someone wanted a commission and said, "I want Pose X from the Feb 26 post", are you ok with that? Or do you rather not take such requests, and instead, come up with whatever strikes you as the best pose for the job?
Again, thanks for sharing!
Gary
Thanks Gary! To answer your question, if the request wasn't for the exact same thing I would be fine with it. What I have stopped doing is redrawing pin-ups I have done. For example, if you like a Supergirl piece that is for sale in my CAF gallery that is priced at 150.00, and you want it redrawn for your Conventionless Sketch, I won't do that. But if you see a rough sketch of a pose, I have no problem with that. As a matter of fact, I am constantly going back through my sketchbooks for inspiration and poses that I haven't used. I get specific pose requests all the time. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't. A pose may look really cool but it might not fit the character or more importantly, the costume. I hope that answers your question. More rough stuff tomorrow, btw. :)
Thanks Gene for the rough stuff. Always cool to see the beginnings of genius.
Thanks Royce. Wait, did you say "Gene-ius"? ;)
LOL, Can't believe I missed the opportunity!! Good one!
Gene,
Thanks, that clarifies things.
Royce- I saw your name (and your brothers?)acknowledged in Budd Roots latest Cavewoman Pin up book. You are famous! :-)
Gary
Gary, that and $50 plus shipping will get me my next Gonzales piece! lol
Thanks for noticing though.
