I've been a fan of your painting since the now-classic Doctor Strange piece you did for First Team Press. Half of me wishes you would paint more, but the other half of me realizes that part of what makes them special is that you DON'T do them very often. As far as not being in the same league as Bolland or Hughes, let me just say that your modesty is exceeded only by your incredible talent!

I did a tight pencil drawing on the gessoed board, airbrushed the "local" colors, then painted the rest with a regular sable brush. There's probably some colored pencil highlights in there as well.Kevin Nowlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850394971503635916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766774655052451555.post-24851373400638903122010-04-09T11:48:19.378-05:002010-04-09T11:48:19.378-05:00This just reminds me of how cool it would be for D...This just reminds me of how cool it would be for DC to put out a portfolio of some of your covers like the ones they did for Bolland and Hughes.Hiroshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15899832962237549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766774655052451555.post-65563783894551267352010-04-09T11:35:16.054-05:002010-04-09T11:35:16.054-05:00have to agree that i love the pencil drawing, the ...have to agree that i love the pencil drawing, the legs/knees/pose, awesome~!!KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507113810624684259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766774655052451555.post-3558542929313077372010-04-09T08:16:07.111-05:002010-04-09T08:16:07.111-05:00Still goes down as one of my favorite paintings th...Still goes down as one of my favorite paintings that you've ever done. I just love the pose, the framing, the coloring, execution, etc. <br /><br />That being said, that is the first time I've seen the pencils for this and they are jaw dropping. Wow. Looks like you use a different shading technique when you know you are going to paint it. More blending with the pencils than using hatch lines, etc.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing for sure!PatrickWedgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041782527066455082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766774655052451555.post-82338338143148458282010-04-09T03:37:33.600-05:002010-04-09T03:37:33.600-05:00Wow!
