The Line It Is Drawn Try-Outs: Week Two

The Line It Is Drawn is a weekly column over at the Comic Book Resources website. Every week Followers of the site's Twitter page come up with responses to a comics-related theme, and a group of artists pick a suggestion from this list to illustrate and the final result is posted online each week at CBR.

They are currently looking for new artist's to take part, and as it sounded like a fun exercise, I decided to take part. There will be two weeks of Try-Outs and then five artists will be selected from those that manage to produce an illustration for both weeks.

The topic for Week Two, to celebrate Batman's 75th Anniversary, was Batman Team-Ups and I chose to draw Vampire Batman, Count Duckula and Count Von Count from Sesame Street. And as I thought was befitting three Vampires, I decided to base it on the poster for the Eighties vampire movie Lost Boys...



All of the artworks are now up online here: http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2014/12/22/the-line-it-is-drawn-2014-artist-try-outs-week-two/ and you can vote for me...or whoever...here: http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2014/12/22/the-line-it-is-drawn-2014-artist-try-outs-week-two/9/

Halloween rundown

So yesterday was Halloween and while I didn't go out dressed as a ghost in an attempt to elicit sweets, I did do some drawing...

I changed my Facebook profile picture to one of me dressed as a slightly apathetic vampire...


I also did a couple of Halloween-themed biro sketches during some downtime at work...




And I carved a pumpkin...


My mum and brother also got in on the pumpkin-carving action...


Happy Halloween!
