Art up in this piece: Post the last two thing's you've drawn

[Rob]

Looks "Assassin's Creed" - like.  ;)

Haha, yeah. I've never gotten to play them, but I've seen some of the art and screenshots for the games. Easy inspiration, lol. From talking with my buddy who's writing for me, I think that's pretty much what he's going for, at least for this character. Fun little fact, that's actually one of my classmates, lol

Some random doodles and background characters from a current page. Had a lot of fun with all of these =)

I figured I'd post something. I don't think it's really good but what the heck. It's from my new comic. Not many have seen this.



the one on the left is named Spike and the one on the right is Ash (short for Ashlyn). they were characters in my old comic that i revamped. i should put my old comic back online just for the fun of it. i had some pretty funny stuff back in the day.

Those are solid prelim sketches. You have a nice style.  ;)

Ready for our date...


So, I'm thinking I should offer commissions, especially since my income is mostly gone now.
Any idea what I should charge for something like that?
This drawing I did the other morning, it is in pencil on 110 lb white card stock and took about 2 1/2 hours.  Of course adding backgrounds and such takes longer, but less detail would be quicker.  I'm not good enough with photoshop to really try for color versions at this time, though I can do color pencil.
Ideas?

Redesigned one of my major character's clothes for ease of drawing over and over again, and also so she matched everyone else's styles.


@Dragon Powered - Honestly, for a sketch of that size and quality, I'd be expecting to pay under $20 for it. If you want a breakdown of why I'd expect it to be for that much, and what kind of quality I'd expect for higher prices, feel free to PM me.

[Dragon Powered]

Oh, I should clarify that when I said I draw on card stock, it's not a card.  The paper is 8 1/2 x 11.  The image I did above is about 7" tall.  And yes, I'd like to hear your breakdown, Ran.

Hey Ran, sorry if this has been answered before, but can I ask you why you draw sketches in red? Is there a specific reason like there is for using photocopy blue pencils? Or do you just like the color?

[ran]

I sketch in red because I mostly do traditional art. If I sketch on the computer, I do it in a lighter colour so I can print it out and redraw it on paper with my light board. It just makes it easier to see the new lines I'm throwing down if it's not solid black.

[Funderbunk]

Thanks! That sounds like a good tip for anyone who uses lightboards too, and I'm one of them, so double thanks!
