man, that rocks like a punk rock show Andy!
Did you take the young lady from someone famous, or was it just made up? Either way, she looks awesome.

I don't think she's "famous" but she's a pretty well known online model named Linda O'Neil. I'm constantly scouring blogs and newsgroups trying to find poses that I'll use someday. I've got so many now that I've forgotten about more than I know about.

I'd like to pose a question to all of you artistic guys out there. If a person had a love of drawing as a child, but gave it up do you think it would be too late to try and pick it up again as an adult? As a boy I spent hour upon hour drawing and coloring my own comics. Now coming to this site I feel those old artistic urges coming back, but it's 27 years since I last put my pencil down. Do you think it's too late to take an art class?

Well, I've never taken an art class so I guess it's a relative question. My motto is to just draw what you like. Coincidentally, I have drawn quite a few scantily clad women.

Here's a cover I did for a fan site recently. Although Kriby did it first, I was inspired by JB imaginitive reuse of the cover:

OK one by one...
Marc T - glad I could be of help (mr fantastic). I wish I had about 1/20th of the talent you have.
Jonathan Watkins - superman w/flag - good one bud. your sketches always have good energy
Jonathan Watkins - looks like the hulk in a very well thought out pose. good job
Gerry Turnbull - rocket over earth - both
have their strong points. I like the first because it traditional
in look and feel. Maybe a little more white in the fumes?
the second is original, but with using photos i think you need to make
the rocket look a little more photo realistic. you've also lost
the aura around the earth. nice job on both!!!
Chris Yeoman - WW - look at yeoman adding
another woman to his portfolio! check her left eye on how it sits
on her head. past that - you are doing a great job lately!
i'm glad you didn't take a break! now i know this is hard to
believe, but im going to agree with justin wasson on this one - F E E T
!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Yeoman - manhunter? - HAH well done again my man
Bill Wiist - pluto on pluto - one thing that
can be said about you bill is that you are completely versitial.
out of anyone that posts here i think you are the only one that has
shown that you can very easily flow from one style to another. my
hat's off to you bud! Great pluto
Anthony castrillo - i sound like a broken
record with your stuff, but every time I look at what you do,
especially sketches and layouts, is like going to art class. I
learn so much from what you do. thanks for sharing it and being a
part of this forum
Anthony J Lombardi - lady death? - i had to
look at this quickly and comment on it when my wife wasn't here.
most excellent sir! well done.
Justin Wasson - MAC's Alphabet Soup - your
early stuff has a heavy Byrne influence, but i really like where your
style has progressed and evolved to now.
Andrew Hess - lady death - that is so well executed dude! i love the use of zip in it
Cesar Madarro - big guy sitting on the throne
- your stuff has so much character and detail it's fun to look
at. keep it up. good one.
Anthony castrillo - see above comments
Joe Boster - "So here is my
First sketch in about 5 years" - and that's what this thread is all
about joe. not bad at all for 5 years! keep it up and keep
posting.
Daniel Gillotte - lady death - same for you
daniel. keep 'em coming. and don't be afraid to bust out
the #2 pencil and paper once and awhile too! Oh, and that's a fun
supergirl also
Chris "I'm in my Manhunter Stage" Yeoman -
your attention to detail is getting better and better. wish I
wasn't chicken and would post more sketches like you!
Joe Smith - gotta say joe, you've got a real
decent eye for detail and looks like your having fun, which I think is
the most important thing. keep it up
Anthony castrillo - i love seeing the different stages you do with your work
Michael Connell - dr doom face - agree with james, got a real kirby vibe to it
Andy Mokler - wow dude! glad you threw your hat in. always room for more. very stunning work.
Joe Boster - batman & demon - i'm diggin' it joe, diggin' it!
Chris "I'm in my Mary Marvel Stage now" Yeoman - that's one BIG lightning bolt!!! well done.
Daniel Gillotte - flaming dog - i've gotta say that you come up with some pretty interesting stuff daniel....
Joe Smith - origin page - see, joe, that IS
fun in the inking world! one of the things you're up against is
that you're working at 8-1/2 x 11, which can take it's toll on you
after awhile. i like it
Vladimir Fiks - lady death - already left you
feedback at the other forum, but i'll say it again too, i learn so much
from seeing your stuff! well done. and we need to make that
brush settings a Vlad FAQ. I think i've asked you that like
1000000000 times! And you always answered real nice, too!
Andrew Hess - "And I am going to have
to bite the bullet and buy me a Wacom" - and you will see a substantial
change in the work you produce, especially colorwise. even doing
selections is easier with the Wacom. the only thing i don't like
is that i don't have the same control that i have by hand to do some
things...yet...
Nathaniel Johnson - what's to forgive! That's tight dude! let's see if finished!!!
Roger A Ott II - sequentials - i like what
you did. I'd suggest that panels 3 and 5 are too similar.
you might go for a more dramatic zoom on the guys eyes in panel 5 and
let the eyes carry the urgency of the moment, leaving space for the
words. second page is very cool
Andy Mokler - assorted vampires - wow! that is really fine stuff. please join in more often.
Michael Connell - "Do you think it's
too late to take an art class?" - no, it's not. it's never too
late. if it is, then i'm up the creek!!!!!!!! but you don't
even have to worry about a class. just draw to have fun!!!
Michael Connell - "(I'm 38 now, please feel
free to laugh yourself silly.)" - one thing that i'll say about this
board and specifically this thread is that NO ONE will laugh at ANYTHING
you or anyone else posts. we are all at different levels of
ability and the one thing that you will get is tons of encouragement
and even some tips on how to improve. I don't want you to be down
on yourself from the get go, so that's why i'm putting this out
there. take a look at my web link when you get a chance.
it's not the best stuff in the world by any means, but the guys here
help me improve all the time. i've worked with some really great
folks here inking and coloring stuff. i'm slow as all get out,
but they don't mind.
i think that Darren has the best way of putting it, and i'll
paraphrase, that if someone has enough stones to draw something and
hang it out on the Internet for everyone in the world to see, they
don't need to be ridiculed, they need encouragement for a job well done.
anyway, i think you've got some great effort there for not drawing over 27 years. Now let's see some more!!!!
JF Joutel SSoSV - well done and very funny!
Well, im off to the ink mines. take care and have fun!!!

Michael- It's never too late! Keep drawing and posting, I like your work.
Matthew- That's quite a post! lol. Thank you again for the comments
man. I know I need to start drawing feet, I will soon. For my recent
stuff, I just haven't felt the need to add them as I've been drawing on
A4 paper and decided the waist up is the most interesting
parts...excuses I know lol.

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement Matthew, I believe I will get back to practicing my art. What the hell, if I can get to be as good as I was in 1975 with my Doctor Doom pic I'll be happy. And who knows given time I may even get better. Just doing that doodle of the Earth-Two Superman reminded me of all the fun I had drawing as a boy. Edited to thank Chris as well.
