Some Ben sketches

Most of these are of the character Ben Day from the book I am currently drawing; Hell Yeah. This is how I practice and warm-up. I still can't decide how I want to draw him definitively. Its getting there though!

BASIC TRAINING

Here are some exercises I do occasionally. It helps a great deal to focus on the basics. You always take something helpful away. These happen to be studies from the books of Andrew Loomis.

Some Stuff!

Just a couple drawings for now, but more to come soon! Promise!

SPIDEY AND CAP

Here's another one for a charity art auction at NYCC.

CAP AND BEN STEIN

Captain America for an auction and Ben Stein for a John Hughes theme at Ashcan Allstars. I always do a rough version before the final and I usually like it a little better. The clean version is always nice when its done, but you lose so much energy.

ANOTHER STARMAN!

Been pretty busy with the comics, so it was good to get this one out to a person who had requested this all the way back when Hell Yeah #1 came out!

HELL YEAH 5 COVER STORY

I really liked how this one came out. Had to sacrifice the size of the logo a little, but I hope it still looks good on the stand.

ARZACH

When Jean Giraud Moebius passed away, I didn't feel like I needed to draw a tribute to him, even though his work has influenced me greatly. The Hell Yeah comic I have to finish each month is tribute enough in that he will always be in my thoughts when I put a pencil or pen to a piece of paper. However, when the chance came to draw a poster on the wall for the character Ben Day's room, I knew exactly what it should be. Merci et au revoir, monsieur Moebius.

HELL YEAH #1 PENCILS

Pencils for the first 5 pages of Hell Yeah #1. If you picked up a copy of the first issue, I hope you find it interesting to see.

I pretty much ink right from here, but I'm working on getting it a little tighter. Its important to find a balance between tight and loose pencils, to know what you can reasonably form a clean image from.
