First page I ever drew (20 yrs ago?) vs last page I drew. I wish I was still as brave with my layouts.


I pencilled everything on that samurai page first and then inked it…I think this page took most of a semester to draw.

I really used to play with layouts a lot more. I got into clarity of the grids so much that I stopped being "risky" Might need start taking more chances https://t.co/jZsvgWLs3A

More old pages. These were all done with the intent to take to SDCC (Over 20 years ago) I started teaching and storyboarding soon after and gave up on comics soon after.

Some Rodolfo Damaggio to end your week right

As comics get more "widescreen" I've really come to appreciate the sweet, skinny, vertical panels of Miller's DD

we do not spend enough time gushing over how great John Bogdanove is. Great Cartooning skills, amazing draftsmanship and gestures. From a new mutants annual and X-terminators

Kurtzman. I want comics to be colored like this again

Urasawa's celebrity portraits are the best

my favorite Neal Adams stuff was his comic strip work...what a legend

Little Breakdowns of the "hellboy style" made by @TadStones for the Hellboy animated shows to capture the @artofmmignola magic. So great https://t.co/wiUceHtiKC

Let's spend Monday gushing over Barry Windsor-Smith, shall we? This is the closest we will get to seeing how Michelangelo would've drawn comics. Classic draftsmanship and beautiful storytelling
