Iron Man 2 Sketch Cards 54-73

This is the last of the IRON MAN 2 sketch cards I did for Upper Deck. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for your patience. The ability to show these cards came at a perfect time because I am working on three different projects that I can't share here. And another commission that is a gift, so once again, no showing here yet.

Doing these cards gave me a great opportunity to play with my Copic Markers. Some cards are more successful than others but all in all I learned a lot and I'm happy with the results.

I will be receiving a few more blank cards from Upper Deck that I will be able to keep. Whatever I draw on them will still have to be reviewed and approved, but it will be fun to do some more cards that I can keep. Or auction? :)

Quick note: Joel Adams has started the Joel Adams Sketch-A-Day art blog. As the title states, he is doing a sketch a day for 2010 and he is off to a strong start. Joel does some great work and if you want to see what he is doing check it out!

Iron Man 2 Sketch Cards 33-53

Here is the third batch of sketch cards I did for the Iron Man 2 Card set coming from Upperdeck.

As artists, we had to stay away from the movie versions of the characters, (legal stuff, I really don't know) but we were allowed to draw any character from the Iron Man comics or that had any interaction with Iron Man. That pretty opened up the entire Marvel Universe. Which was much better.

I have one more batch to show you tomorrow. By then you will be sick of these. :)

All these are done in Copic Markers, Multi Liners and white paint.

Iron Man 2 Sketch Cards 19-32

The rest of my Iron Man 2 Sketch Cards have been reviewed and only one was rejected. It was a shot of Tony Stark in a tux, so no biggie. :) Take that one out and the one I messed up and I end up with a total of 73 cards to be inserted in the set. Not bad for my first venture into this arena.

Since there are a lot of cards, there could be a temptation to share them in a painstaking slow manner. I will not do that to you kind folks. But I will show the cards over three days starting with some "puzzle" cards first.

I saw Sean "Cheeks" Galloway do some cards like this and I thought it looked like fun. Later I realized this could drive collectors crazy. D'oH!

These were all done in Copic Markers, Multi Liners and white paint. More tomorrow!

Iron Man 2 Sketch Cards 10-18

Here is another round of approved sketch cards for the IRON MAN 2 set. I have been working on the cards in the evening this week. This is after I have put in a full day on my other projects. I have another 27 cards done but I won't be submitting them until the rest are done. I am doing a total of 75 cards and all have to be in house by the 31st. Shouldn't be a problem. That also means there will be some more cards posted in January.
