This was just supposed to be a quick warm up sketch to get me ready to color the Ant Guy cover I posted just a little while ago, but I kind of like it so I’m gonna post it. Gotta love it when a random doodle works out.
Very rough pencils in my sketchbook scanned then digitally inked and colored.
Really looking forward to coloring this piece!
Water color pencils are pretty cool.
My Father was the one who suggested this image to me awhile back. He’s one of the reasons why I’m into comics. He’d take me and my brothers to the comic shop regularly when we were young and we all have pretty good comic collections. One of his favorite artists is Jim Steranko, and I gotta say I’m a fan as well. If you didn’t know, this image is an homage to The Incredible Hulk King-Size Special #1 (pictured below). Which was penciled by Mr. Steranko and because I’m a nerd and did far too much research I know that Marie Severin redrew the head.
Might as well show the original original version. Not sure why they needed to change the head but I like this version as well.
So there ya go. Hope I did the homage justice and I managed to get a mini history lesson in there as well. Wishing everyone the best and..

I was cleaning up my house and found an old painting I started (pictured below) but I guess I gave up on it. I actually threw it in the trash for a minute but then all of a sudden I thought that I could make this thing work somewhat if I blasted it with a sharpie. Okay, I also used some copics and a tiny little bit of white out but the point is that now it’s happily living(?) on my wall as a finished piece.
I know that sometimes as artists we have to use our erasers as much as we use our drawing utensils. Also, sometimes we have to scrap what we are working on and start from scratch, but every once in awhile I guess you can just set a troublesome piece aside give it some time and then view it from a different perspective.
I’m well aware it’s not a masterpiece but I’m happy that it exists instead of me giving up on it and throwing it away.
