Weekly Sketch Group #266


Welcome to another installment of the Penciljack Weekly Sketch Group! Every week there are new topics posted for you and your fellow artists to draw, so why not sharpen your pencil and join our happy band of sketchers today :)? If you have any ideas for sketch group topics you'd like to see in a future Sketch Group, please PM me the details, and I will try to include them!

Weekly Sketch Group #266 Topics:

1. The Amazing Spider-Man!: The new movie is coming to a multiplex near you, draw ANY version in ANY costume you like of ol' Webhead!

2. The Hot Babes of Spider-Man: Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, The Black Cat, Silver Sable, Spidergirl, Capt. Jean DeWolfe, Aunt May (okay, now I'm reaching....;)!)

3. Original Character or Concept:

by Ermol


Brute is a 9+ feet tall massive heavy man-like creature. Dark brown skin, red tattoos on his face surrounding his one eye (as in the species only has one eye not that he lost one). He's wearing a horned helmet, has fairly long black hair tied behind his head. He's wearing a piece of chainmail covering his chest and torso over a brown short-sleeve tunic. He has some dulled metal plates covering his thighs, and short black pants. He's barefeet. His feet are freakin' huge. He's holding an unnecessarily massive triple-headed axe.

Elf is a about 7 feet tall, very thin, white-furred creature. The fur is quite thin, but it's there, less in the face and palms but he is a "furry creature". Like I said, he's practically snow-white. He has slits where a nose should be. He's wearing a belt and straps holding up his weapons but no actual clothes. (Maybe some thing covering the crotch area because everyone else is wearing clothes, though I reckon the fur is enough). He is holding a long slim sword in his hand. Behind his back he has a bow and arrows, and in his belt there are some small pouches and a pair of sheathed daggers.

Human is only about 6 feet tall, 30something, average build, short red hair. There is a long scar running alongside his one cheek, and a crescent tattoo on another. He is wearing a kind of a magician's outfit. There's brown hooded cloak with some ornate arcane coloured designs, like patterns and stuff, full length but not too big so we can see what's underneath. He is wearing white tunic and black trousers and black leather boots. In one hand he is holding a short but broad sword, in another a short staff with some sort of glowing gem at the end. Depending how much detail you're going in for, you can throw in some necklaces and rings under the assumption they are magical artefacts.

The three are standing back to back fighting against a group of enemies, even though they hate each other's guts. They are all angry as hell, and want to take it out on the enemies. The enemies in this case are a bunch of dog-like creatures, picture the biggest dog you've ever seen and draw that only evil, i.e. red glowing eyes, teeth in the style of Rob Liefeld and two heads. Their fur is black with black smoky wispy cloud surrounding it on all sides. The setting is broken medieval city, stone pavement, some houses in ruins.

I'm not exactly reinventing the wheel here, but I reckon I'm just pushing the wagon a bit back on the path.
P.S. Enemies and setting is optional, the goal here are the heroes themselves. But I thought I'd provide some background.


And there you have it my fellow sketchers! Sharpen those pencils and start sketchin'!

[Symson]

These were already in the can.

A Marvel Universe Sketch card I did and a Spidey commission.

I'll try to do one of the ladies later this week.

[Jcatlett76]

Already had these done but I'll have more later.

This is a Spider-Man head shot I was using on my Facebook profile for a while. It was done digitally.

This was a favor for a friend. Penciled on Bristol and finished digitally.
Of course it's a recreation (not exact) of the now famous Web Of Spider-Man #32 cover by Mike Zeck.

[scmarooney]

@Symson: Great Spider-Man illustrations, really like that second one!
@JCatlett76: Cool Spider-Man drawings, I like `em both!
@Sedani: Nice job on the Spiderman illustration! I like the colors!
@Albers: Good job on the Peter Parker origin of Spider-man sketch!
@hyde: Nice job on those Spidey sketches!

And here's a Spidey from me to keep things chugging along this week!

[Jcatlett76]

Great job Sean!

Here's another.
Unused, unfinished splash page for my "Spider-Man: Legacy" fan comic that I'm working on. This is Ben Parker's costume.
http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh318/Manifold_Origin/splegacysplash2.jpg?t=1341292823

Edit:
Killed a few minutes and did this one. Honestly, I have never touched a drug stronger than Asprin so I have no excuse for this>D And yeah, I know...cardinal sin of no feet lol...and somehow Gwen Stacy turned into Venom and it just went all crazy from there. Lack of sleep I think!
http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh318/Manifold_Origin/Spideyflowers2.jpg?t=1341300454

Couldn't sleep so I doodled this one out:
I tried to imagine what it would look like if 'I' were bitten by that pesky spider!
http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh318/Manifold_Origin/spideywip66.jpg?t=1341310848
If I do too many this week, kick me out lol....I just love drawing Spidey!!!

[Sedani]

Awesome feet on that spidey sean, i like how you can see his toes!

Here is another one in anticipation for the movie

Hey Jcatlett
I think i have seen that spiderman many times at cons

[Flegler]

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll311/smaroon69/SpideySwing1.jpg[/IMG]

Breathtaking. You don't even need to tag your work; your style is extremely recognizable.

[Flegler]

I found a few of these blue pencils at Bliq over the weekend (clearance, baby - 10 cents!)

On my lunch break, I decided to throw down a spidey sketch with my new acquired blues. First attempt at drawing Spider-Man - so far, I am somewhat happy.

I think I will try to finish this when I get home from work today!

http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp261/jflegler/Spidey2012.jpg

[Jcatlett76]

Hey Jcatlett
I think i have seen that spiderman many times at cons

LOL...I KNOW I've seen him a few times. It's got me thinking...maybe do a line of "What if they were real" drawings! Maybe a new thread for that one and have everyone participate.

[Sedani]

I just had to do another!

[MJames]

ha! looks like its Spider-Mania in the ol' sketch group this week:)

http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp136/hivoltage61/spidey-Copy.jpg

[Flegler]

@Sedani - Love it! You have a very fun style indeed!
@ MJames - Old school...NICE!

[Jcatlett76]

Sedani - I love that Rhino, looks like he can kick ass!

MJames - You sure you aren't Ditko's love child?

[Chuckcamo]

Awesome Spider man from everyone!!! :)
Just finished this one... may have to check it over with a fresh set of eyes...

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z413/chuckcamo/spidermanCM7.jpg

[Flegler]

Some good looking stuff, Chuck!

Here is Spidey with a little ink.

[scmarooney]

@Jcatlett76: Nice job with your three drawings! I especially like the third one :)!
@Sedani: Thanks! And cool Spider-man face-off with the Lizard sketch! Even more cool Spidey action with the Rhino, great splash of drama!
@MJames: Some classic Ditko-esque stylings there! Nice job!
@Chuckcamo: Cool pose on that Spider-Man illustration! I like the colors too!
@Flegler: Thanks! And cool stuff with the Spidey Sketch and the inks, I like what I'm seeing!
@Dann: Nice job on the oldie! It IS a goodie :)!

And here's something a bit different from me. I decided to look at some classic Spider-Man artists takes on some of the women in that title and ref'd some Romita Sr. and Gil Kane to come up with these three head-shots similar to their styles:

@Whune: Nice job on your sketches this week, keep `em coming!
@girdoggy: fun and funny sketch of Spidey and Juggy!

And here's one of the 3 original characters as described in the write-up by Ermol, hopefully I'll find some time to GIMP up some colors on them before the week is over ;):

[Jcatlett76]

Here's yet another Spidey from me! I'm going to try to get to the girls this week too. I'm just itching to do Black Cat....um, sounds like a fanboy's fantasy.

Interesting style you got going there. I see a touch of Beastie, but that's it...just a touch. I'd explore it a little if I were you.

[Whune]

hey thanks

^_^

Actually this is just a throwback to a style I first fell into about 15 years ago.

It's where my heart's at; and I'm just re-embracing it

It's getting closer to what I've always been aiming for in the infamous [you can't take criticism] threads

I've basically taken a full circle:
when I first fell into this style I knew nothing about anatomy
now I'm coming back to it

As I understand it... Beastie's style is about skinny limbs and regular sized bodies..

Whereas this style of mine is it's not particularly about skinnyness so much as extremes of proportions in general.

[amadarwin]

As I understand it... Beastie's style is about skinny limbs and regular sized bodies..
actually the way I see it is opposite. Beastie does skinny limbs and boxy bodies. These are more in line with your statement.

Like I said though, keep playing with it, it's got a nice feel to it.

[Flegler]

Like I said though, keep playing with it, it's got a nice feel to it.

His work definitely has a nice feel to it - something that Tim Burton would drool over.

Whune, I can see any of your figures in a Steampunk themed comic; it would rock and I would buy it!

This is great work. I'm the oppisite right now, I'm trying to go all digital. I'd love to know your process, you should put something together sometime.

If you mean my digital process, it's kind of a hodge-podge at this point, but I mostly pencil and ink in Manga Studio, and color in PS or Painter. If you mean my pencilling technique... there really isn't one at this point. :) Putting together tutorials is pretty time consuming, so maybe when I'm not so busy.
