SAMPLES


Samples. Most people who draw comics for a living do this at one point in their lives. In case you couldn't tell from the rest of my blog, I have always like drawing Robin and his latest incarnation, Red Robin.

DC SKETCHES


If one day I am ever fortunate enough to be doing a Robin story for DC, I will finally have achieved one of those childhood lifetime dream things. I used to read every comic that came out that Robin in it when I was like 14 and up. While I ironically have less money to spend on all those comics as an adult, I still get a kick out of the whole adventure and idea of the character. I even think that current incarnation of his, Red Robin, looks kinda cool. Maybe someday...

DON'T KNOW JACK


I've been looking at a bunch of Jack Kirby stuff lately for some Elephantmen pages I have to do. I have to say, I've never been a fan, but now that I have been studying his work, its really growing on me. There is this power in his pages that projects the sort of drama that is needed in a comic. I know my own stuff could use the kind of momentum and interest his art generated.

I thought about it and drew that picture of Robin up there as a warm up in my sketch book. The only homage to Kirby there is those big fists. I'm still working on it.

HOLY DISLOCATED JAWOuchie, one to the jaw with an impossibly stretched leg. Seriously thats some agility right there. Oh well. I always thought Batman had his bat-undies in a bunch sometimes.
I liked Robin's original costume so much better too. They have with this little feathered edge on his cape now. Whatevah.

TIM DRAKEWhen they made Tim Drake the new Robin it was the coolest thing ever to read in a comic. I really grew attached to this character growing up in high school. I think it felt like he was a superhero I could be too if I only worked hard enough. Now not so much, but back then I could really relate to him.
Oh and I fixed the problem where it asks you to download the picture. Just click on it and it should work fine. :)
