the next month or so.

Please check out my art and let me know what you think.
Thanks :D

Thats just Awesome. Do you do both the drawing and coloring of the comics?

Are the comics brought into illustrator to give them the vector look?

I work only in Adobe Photoshop. Never really cared to get into the other programs since I felt like I was able to do everything I wanted in Photoshop.

Do you draw as well?

Really good work! Before you know it you will end up working for a studio making cartoons for TNT or Nickelodean. drinker

I draw also but a different style. I am more of a dungeon and dragons type artist. If you want to see download the free ebook at lulu.com called "The Black Dragon Magazine".

Cheers and keep posting up your work. It is entertaining. drinker

nice illustration! Hand done or computer? It'll probably appeal to kids. :)

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
I'm hoping to get a job as a character designer in a top animation
studio or something. Maybe hopefully take off with a children's book career.

These illustrations are drawn by hand with pencil. Then inked by hand with prismacolor black inks pens. Then scanned into the computer and colored in photoshop. I digitally color my work with the use of a drawing tablet called the Wacom Cintiq.

I'll edit my first post, but here's a video showing my drawing process if anyone is interested.

Thanks a bunch guys and gals!

I look a many art blogs. All the time.
I like to learn from others and try to apply different
styles to my artwork.

I would really like to start doing more 'painting'.
Get into being able to do more realistic art.
I used to study more realistic styles of art in highschool and
all the girls would want me to draw them 'tweety bird' and stuff like
that. So I started drawing cartoons since more people seemed interested
in it... at the time at least.
