I don't consider myself a penciler but I wanted to ink something of my own for a change. I tried to channel a bit of Ditko, some Byrne, and a dash of JRJR.

That's a great piece, Paul! I definitely see JB's
influence and Ditko's, but not so much JRJR's. What did
you use to ink this? Thanks for posting!

Thanks, Wesley! I think I only referenced JRJR's use of hands.

I used microns and brush pen.

Some really nice ones all!

After a Karl Kopinksi sketch

Stole the look of this guy from a Valerio Giangiordano's Avenger's cover, but he made me think of the Minotaur for some reason---so I put him back in ancient Greece. I don't follow modern comics, but I think somehow Conan is now in the Avengers!?!

I tried to draw a portrait of my wife over the weekend and failed miserably. I sent some time at studying Mr. Byrne's ladies and manage to scribble this out today.

All of these are very nice! And I'm just wondering if Marc shaded in each individual square!

Thank you both. The more I try to draw the more I appreciate JB's mastery of the line. There had been very, very few who are so consistently great as he. Fewer still remained at their peak without decline.
