batgirl

I just recently read Batgirl: Year One and fell in love with Barbara Gordon’s original costume. So much in fact, I was left with no other choice but to draw another Batgirl:

It was fun to just draw something for myself again. I’ve drawn SO much stuff I can’t (or don’t want to) post here yet. Most of it is super fun but it can still be draining to only draw stuff you have to. Drawing Batgirls is like cartoonist’s therapy.

this is a batgirl commission i just finished up:

remember when drawing batgirl was like an annual event around the internets? good times…

kin, i’ll have this in the mail for you this week!

or at least she was on halloween. ming (an amazing draftsperson by the way) was the first runner up on project rooftop’s latest flights, fights, & tights contest. this means she got a drawing of her in her redesigned batgirl costume by yours truly!

i just sent this out today, so i hope ming likes it. check out the above link for pics of her costume. and click here for the other awesome prizes drawn by dean trippe and ben hatke.

also- cow can still be found zapping himself all over the internets…

decided to add to the new batgirl meme going on right now. i don’t think this color test came out as nice as the last one. which is funny because i spent more time on it. or maybe that was the problem. regardless, i should have just inked this one. ah well.

if you’re curious, you can check out the one i did last year. i pretty much drew the same batgirl. you can also see what this one looks like on a white background instead of the cream (i couldn’t decide which i liked better). there’s all sorts of fun stuff to click on today. :)

thought i’d post some more sketches. this is an early page out of one of my last sketchbooks. back when that whole batgirl craze was going on i actually decided to draw one too. just never got around to scanning it. i kinda wanted to ink and color it at one point, but then weeks passed and then i just didn’t really care for it anymore. that happens a lot. if i don’t take a project from beginning to finish in a relatively short period of time, i find it hard to go back to. i can be fairly impatient when it come to my art, and am constantly wanting to move on to the next thing. it can be a real problem since i’m typically working on five things at once.
