step by step...


first off, had a great time at the boston comic con last weekend (spent plenty of time geeking out over mike allred who was sitting to my right - -he and his wife laura are absolutely the nicest folks you can meet )... thanks to everybody who stopped by and said hey (or, in the case of our own officer mulcahy, expertly hawked my wares all weekend as i sat with my head down over my drawing board)

okay, since i'm hard at work on getting pages done for both books right now (haps 6 and uncanny x-men first class special), i figure i'd use the next few posts to step through the process of a canson paper color sketch.... first up, the sketch.

so, the request was an 11x17 spidey loves mj style peter parker in an iconic pose... after a coupla false starts, i figured this was the way to go (after so many of these things, i don't do much prelim/thumbnail stuff, just get to the drawing)... after getting it tight enough, it's on to the next step...

I must say, I share Dezago's zeal for this developing work of the young Parker you're presenting us with.

Super pumped for Haps 6!!! Will this be where the bunyip ass kicking begins??? Only time will tell. But they had it coming.

Regardless, I can only hope that your interpretations will be as ferocious as this one:

I actually got to see steps 2 and 3of this Canson piece being done at the Boston Show and am looking forward to getting to watch the coloring process.

I got to see Craig color 3 other cansons during the show and let me tell you people, you are in for a treat.
