ART: Batgirl aka Barbara Gordon

This was my first attempt at drawing Batgirl. I just wanted to get a full body pose on a B5 size of paper. Not really sure what she is doing in this pose but I just made the best of it.  I used Photoshop to color the piece. Till my next post.  Thanks, everyone!

But he's really a nice guy...I mean shark...shark, a nice shark.

ART: Superman Classic Edition

The 1978 movie version of Superman played by Christopher Reeve is still my all time favorite.  Inspiration struck me while watching the movie on TV the other day.  Here's the result from pencil to inks and finally color.  I used my Letraset markers and finally tried out Copic markers which seem to be all the rage these days.  Till my next post. Thanks, everyone!

ART: Star Lord / Chris Pratt Sketch

I must admit Star Lord was never a comic book character I paid much attention to.  That all changed after I saw The Guardians of The Galaxy on the big screen.  Chris Pratt gave the character a very likeable cocky-ness to the character.  I like to call it "humble arrogance".  I did this drawing after watching Jurassic World, another favorite of mine.  Hope you like it.  Please check out my other drawings in my previous posts.  Till my next post.  Thanks, everyone!

ART: Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson & Draymond Green

These are pencil sketches of the NBA record breaking Golden State Warriors.  I took the three individual sketches of now back-to-back NBA MVP Stephen Curry, Splash Brother Klay Thompson and Triple Double Machine Draymond Green and combined these into a layout to celebrate their 73-9 regular season record.  Let's see if all these accolades translate into a repeat championship in June.  Till my next post.  Thanks, everyone!

ART: Star Wars Sketches Part III

Next up in my Star Wars sketch series is new generation antagonist, Kylo Ren. I really like how they introduced the character in the latest Star Wars movie and can't wait to see how he develops across the two next films.

He's wasn't an easy sketch but not as tough as I thought given that he's got so much detail on his mask. I'll be adding him to my Star Wars digital mural project and will be posting images soon. Till my next post. Thanks, everyone!

ART: Suicide Squad - Harley Quinn

In anticipation of the Suicide Squad movie coming out this year, I'm starting a collection of drawings inspired by the main characters of the film. Here is the first of hopefully many drawings, Harley Quinn. As you can see I've had to make a few tweaks and adjustments to the piece from pencils to inks and finally colors (Photoshop) until I was happy with the end result. Till my next post. Thanks, everyone!

Below is the penciled version which turned out good in my opinion and was ready for inking.

Her jaw got a little too angular from penciled version to inked. I didn't know it at the time but I made her legs a bit too stocky as well. Not necessarily a good feature for this comic book character.

Once I laid down all the color using Photoshop, I fixed her jaw, gave her a less stocky looking right leg and did away with the tongue sticking out as I later figure out is not a natural thing us humans are be able to do.

ART: Star Wars Sketches Part II

Adding to my collection of Star Wars related drawings are Rey, Yoda and an improved Luke Skywalker. They will be part of my Star Wars digital mural which I will be posting soon. Till my next post. Thanks, everyone!

ART: Star Wars Sketches

Here are a few sketches I had done around the November timeframe to celebrate the release of the latest Star Wars film, Episode 7 - "The Force Awakens". They are obviously the classic characters of the franchise but they were the ones that inspired me at the time.  Till my next post. Thanks, everyone!

ART: Heroes Wall

This has been a work in progress for over a year now and will continue to be "in progress" as I continue to add more and more characters.  Let me know who you'd like to see next.  I do plan to start a Villains Wall as well.  Till my next post.  Thanks, everyone!

The latest addition to the wall is Deadpool who I added at the start of February.

It started with these guys. I don't think introductions are necessary. I had drawn this for a work activity. I handled a number of projects and each were represented by a superhero. Hey, one's got to keep work interesting at all times.

I added Wolverine into the mix which kicked off the official start of my Heroes Wall. I drew him prior to the four above.

Black Widow came next. I drew her primarily based on the Avenger's movie version design.

Psylocke. One of my all time favorite comic book characters. Can't wait to see the new X-Men movie with her (finally) in it!

Wonder Woman. The wall was dominated by Marvel characters so it was time to balance things out a bit and who better than the original female superheroine?



Darna. Not DC, not Marvel. She's a Filipino comic book character created in the 60's. Some say she's a poor man's (woman's) version of Wonder Woman but according to her creator, Mars Ravelo, his inspiration came from Superman. 

Rorschach. Arguably one of the best characters from the modern age of comics. He's from The Watchmen by Alan Moore.

Captain America. Like Black Widow, I used the movie version design. He just looks more soldier-like this way.

The Incredible Hulk. He was quite a challenge to draw. His exaggerated features were tough to proportion.

Rocket Raccoon. I'll admit that I didn't know about this character until I watched "The Guardians of the Galaxy".

Deadpool. As mentioned earlier, he's the latest addition to the wall. Not exactly the hero type but I bought into the hype of the movie and so now he's here.

Dialogue: Miel Ondevilla

This is my first four panel comic popularly known as "Yonkoma". I was always curious of what would happen if Filipino comic book characters ran into their North American counterparts. Obviously, four panels are not enough to fully explore this curiosity but it's a start. Big thanks to Miel Ondevilla who provided the sweet dialogue which brought my artwork to life. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. Till my next post. Thanks, everyone!
