Devon's sketchbook

I'm not going to be so bold as to say that I'll be posting every single day, especially not until I get my own scanner. I'm going to be doing the Drawing From the Right Side of the Brain exercises and will scan and post them as I go. Also, will post other exercises as I pump them out.

So, here's something to start with:

Just a head from a photo ref.

One of the concept sketches for the rampage drawoff that never took off.

Another rampage WIP. It's the closest I have to a finished piece.

Definitely on the right track with that book. You'll see a massive difference in you works.

I can see your improvements already. Keep it up! Good work on the hands! The Chair looks really good too :)

You might want to check out HOW TO DRAW THE MARVEL WAY also. Its a classic, but a very good instructional book :)
It'll show you the basics of how to put a page together in addition to anatomy and pretty much everything you need to really learn at first. This way you can write and draw your own comics. Alot of the editors prefer to have art to go along with written work to carry the story along. It'll be easier to get into the door and show your writing skills. Good stuff. Keep it coming! :)

Marvel Way is on my list to buy, actually. I just chose the book I did because I had access to it right away and enjoy the exercises. But you're on to my plan, JLFG. I want to get to where I can just draw my own pages and submit, since I keep having bad luck. Though I have a guy now who's doing a pretty decent job. Still, I want to have a hand in the art soon.

Or you could just draw my book....

HAAHHAA I would love to, but if I did that I would have three writers trying to kill me cause I owe them a buttload of sequentials :D Once I get those projects out of the way I'll let you know and we can collaborate on something. I'm having alot of troubles with sequentials right now because I'm not satisfied with art enough to put it together on a sequential series but slowly, I'm getting there :) Thats probably why I'm just doing pinups and such.
I'll totally let you know though :)
