Happy Hulks draw night
Lots of folks showed up tonight! It was a good night. This first one posted is a result of conversation with good ol’ Alan Tew. We were talking about how we both handle putting a figure down. I throw together shapes and lines to create anatomy, he says his method is more of a feeling for the outer line first, like a silhouette. Both are so different, I told him I would have a REALLY hard time doing anything foreshortened in that method. So I threw down an example of how I do it with that guy pointing. Then Alan came up with the idea of foreshortening something OTHER than what’s usually foreshortened. I said “How about an EAR?!?” So we got to work and did our own. That is pretty tuff I gotta admit. The sketches below are Hulk being happy. I like drawing the impossible sometimes, makes me feel rebellious and/or cool. Alan mentioned I should draw a pissed off Bruce Banner. I should have! GAH!

The first sketch on this next batch was fun, it’s like a before and after shot of a cocky guy getting punched in the face. And I havn’t drawn a monster chick in a while so there ya go. Just random sketches here, whatever I was feeling. And a shaved Gorilla was one of those feelings. I wonder what a shaved Gorilla would really look like?!? Hmmm.

More Hulk fun and at the bottom there is another pose swap that Alan and I did. He gave me the funkiest pose ever!

Thanks! See ya next time.

Yo Ryan
I like how you and the other artist are learning from each other. I am sure the art will reflect this in upcoming comics. I like to see your progression. later.
Monster Chick = Bad Ass
Whoa, this batch is seriously inspiring. Great sketches as of late, I’ve been lurking constantly and eating it up.

Awesome! I wonder what the monster chicks…”place” looks like…0.0
Where are these draw nights held? I didn’t know there were that many artists in Utah!
Also, what is the cover charge?
Haha, shaved gorilla is awesome. Also thanks for the link to Clement Sauve’s Site I’m really loving this dudes work. Hmm I should also thank Tew for linking me to yours. You guys are great!
Been loving these sketches from you and Alan T. But Re. the foreshortened ear exercise: without wanting to rain on the parade, the ears are the one part in the drawings which AREN’T foreshortened
Where there is foreshortening though, it’s masterfully done. Seems like a fun evening is had.
Hey Ryan,
It was great meeting you (although briefly as they were shutting the place down) at the Emerald City Con. I’m happy to be the proud owner of the inked Hulk sketch in this post!!!
