Canson Girl - Mary Marvel

This is a quick one for today. Had a full day of working and then running all around the Tampa Bay region with my family. :) As I did this face, I was also looking at the Bob Oksner Mary Marvel pages on my wall and somehow I was influenced. :)

Canson Girl

This is a warm up piece from earlier this morning. I just now got around to scanning it. I'm still playing with the Pentel Brush Pen. I like the dry brush effects I can get on the rougher side of the Canson paper. It creates a nice texture in her hair. There are a few issues of how slow the ink dries on certain paper, but that is something I dealt with before when I used a brush and have since forgotten because of using pens. Just have to make that adjustment in how I work.

This piece was done with a Pentel Brush Pen and white color pencil on a 9" x 12" sheet of Canson Mi-Teintes paper.

Just some warm up sketches from this morning. I've got a full day of drawing and thought I would "stretch" first to avoid any injury. :)

Captain America

With Halloween over, the race is on to Christmas. I've been seeing the decorations, in moderation, in various stores for the last couple of weeks, but I bet today they will overwhelm the last bit of space the Halloween items had. On your mark. Get set. Shop!

I thought I would do an early post to kick off the new month. I was playing with the brush pen a bit. I am trying out different papers and drying time on those papers. I will post more about it later. For now I have a Captain America done with the Pentel Brush Pen, a bit of Copic Multiliner, and some gray Copic Markers. This was done on a 11" x 17" sheet of Strathmore Drawing paper.
