Of course, I am hesitant to include Jean Gray b/c, well… that seems a little real. I mean the movies were cool and her story is super symbolic to me- however… not a rabid fan or anything.

You are extremely talented. Do you think you would be interested in drawing something a little different on top of the pheonix shadow? Well enough questions for now. I appreciate you getting back to me.

I really like your art work, it is really very good and I was wondering if you could design something for me?

Something similar to your Phoenix drawing except with a dancer, needs to look hot, sexy and fun :)
Dont know if you could, but would be very grateful if you could, even willing to pay for a good logo as I need something that will look good on my business cards, website etc :)
Let me know, many thanks

Yah, she’s one of my favorites to draw, too. I think because she can be al pwerful, but still be the girl next door. who knows. I know.she’s a fictional character..LOL…the phoenix force is awesome to draw, too.

I’ve tried drawing men and am having a really hard time. Their bodies don’t have the curves that seem to naturally flow with my pencil, and I don’t want them to end up looking like squares or rectangles with legs.
Hmmm….

matt- she’s fun to draw so hopefuly i’ll get a chance to draw her that way someday. and yes- the men… i know….

i drew monsters recently. does that count?

I LOVE phoenix, and this is a great drawing. I’d like to see less cute and more beautiful/terrible, if you know what I mean…maybe in homage to John Byrne’s style?

I’m 20 and draw, but I am nowhere near this good..yet…heh heh

I agree; you shoudl start drawing men. Hmm…how about Johnny Storm or Northstar for starters?

Matt

Awesome.

mark- well, since you asked so nicely, i’ll tell you:

first off, at least in my case, the blue lead i use is much softer than regular lead. it’s more like a crayon really- and the softer consistency allows me to be lighter with my strokes, make for some easier shading, and less prone to erase something i don’t really need to be erasing. which brings me to the other reason i love blue lead.

i don’t need to erase! a lot of the times i ink my work, and by inking over blue i can “blow out” those blue lines after scanning. the result is a richer black line with no sketch marks and less need to destroy my paper with a piece of plastic.

also, i studied animation and don’t understand why the need to use it for that is any different than outside animation.

slocum- cool! thanks, dude. :)

BTW, I came across your site through stumbleupon.com.

This is really fantastic. Thanks for posting your process too, it’s always so interesting to see how you work.

Oh and I think I didn’t let you know, but I’d be very happy to get you a signed Flight. I can’t believe it’s almost Comic-Con time already!
