    • I used to draw Marvel Comics all-the-time and it has been a while. But I guess I haven't lost too much. What do you think?

      Spiderman in my favorite pose.

      Boring stuff:
      8.5" X 11" Canon High-Resolution Paper (not glossy)
      Colored pencil
      Blending stick
      Final Inking- Staedtler pigment liners
      Prismacolor- Brush pens

    • Yeah, something that I learned recently is that certain specific hues of red and blue are "invisible" to scanners and copiers. Col-Erase pencils (red and blue) are made specifically in these hues. That's why we pencil artists use them for layout and planning sketches and then progress into graphite after.
      I chose the wrong hues of blue and red for the base-colors and they "just happened" to match the above-mentioned gaps. This is why the base-colors look so white. The actual rendition looks a lot better, it just didn't pickup on the scan (a hard-lesson learned).

      I recently invested in in several sets of Brush Markers and I am learning to use them. I looked into Copics, which seems to be "all-the-rage" these days, but I chose NOT to invest that kind of money until I become more-proficient with markers.
      What I did invest in are listed below:
      Faber-Castell Artist Pens - India Ink (big brush tip)
        Full range of greys (warm-and-cool)
        Sepia Tone colors
        Classic colors
        Skin Tone colors
        Landscape colors
        Pastel colors
      TOMBOW Dual Bush Water-based and Blendable (with blending pen)
        Standard colors
        Landscape colors
      STAEDLER Tripus color Fiber tip pens (20 colors, all dry safe---- I made the mistake of leaving the caps off a few markers before and learned a hard lesson)
      Prismacolor (the coupe de gras) dual tip Fine Art marker (primary and secondary colors)
      Prismacolor (premier) .005mm fineline markers
      Prismacolor (premier) assorted-tip markers (I love these because of the various tips)
      Staedler Pigment Liners (every size they had)
      Prang Metallic Brush Pens (kinda cheesy so far, but a friend said they were great for cars and such).
      I also got myself some Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils (these are superb for doing washes)

      Well, that's all for now. I have to go and check myself into the hospital... still "fighting the fight" as JEM said!
