Quoth

This is my other submission to the Biennial Show.

Another Al BatMan sketch

I'm not sure if this was over my pencils or just one of Al's quick doodles. Either way, Al hadn't done much BatMan work so I feel privileged to have as many as I do. Would love to have seen him do a weekly BatMan strip ala Secret Agent Corrigan. What could have been...

Al-ien sketch

Another of Al Williamson's great little sketches. He had a habit of bringing his ink brush to a point by doing these little doodles. Just phenomenal.

I have a few more that I will sparingly post to fill the next couple of weeks of no life drawing.

Prairie Child

Submitting this to BBMM for their biennial show.  I'm also submitting this one as well as this one.  Oh, and a new drawing that I may post in the coming days.

Masters in Miniature submission

CMR museum accepted this painting for their upcoming miniature show.

No drawing last night...

so I'll be posting various things this week. This is one of a precious few Al Williamson original "doodles" that I am grateful to own. When I was a student of his at The Joe Kubert School he would come around to each student and correct their work by placing a piece of tracing paper over the student's page and fix our obvious mistakes. His corrections were remarkable and the ease with which he did them made one feel not so much inadequate but rather hopeful that one day we could do the magic in such a natural way. Al never put anyone's work down, but made you feel you were ever so close to being where you needed to be.

The Batman sketch I'm showing was actually Al's pencils over mine and then he inked his own pencils. Amazing man. Rather than feel awful about his no longer being with us, I prefer to think about how wonderful it was to have him for as long as we did. As much as he will be missed, he will be remembered even more.

And so another session comes to an end

This started out really Gibson Girl-ish, but did not end up so much. I changed the hair into a towel like object and really overworked the whole thing. Sigh... maybe better luck tonight.
