Hey kids, Sketches!

Here's some recent sketches! These are also posted in the Dos Illustros sketchblog. As always click on the images for a bigger version:

One of my favorite Marvel characters: classic X-men Nightcrawler quick sketch for Sketch Dailies, all digital (Adobe Ps, Kyle T. Webster brushes, Wacom Cintiq, Adobe Ai for type- Palooka from Blambot). He was created by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum, debuting on a new mutant team with Sunfire, Banshee, Storm, Colossus, Thunderbird, and Wolverine on "Giant-Size X-men #1":

Watched "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" movie a week back, solid action and comic movie! Here's a classic Kirby "coming-atcha!" style Cap, done with a Palomino Blackwing on the Moleskine. Cap was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby before Marvel even happened:

BTW, I also finished reading "Marvel Comics: The Untold Story" by Sean Howe. Lots of interesting backstory and drama from the Stan and Jack days until now! Stan is great but IMHO Long Live The King.


I watched a lot of wrestling as a kid both in PR and the US! My favorites were Carlitos Colon, Los Super Medicos, Los Invaders, Abdullah the Butcher, and even had a namesake in Hugo Savinovich. In the US, the Ultimate Warrior was one of the most exciting characters to watch because he was so colorful yet such a mystery, Rest In Peace. Done in Palomino Blackwing on Moleskine:

Armed Forces Military Museum

Back in January last month, I visited the Armed Forces Military Museum in Largo, FL (just north of St. Petersburg on the West Coast) with my friends Jason Pichon, his brother Josh McLaughlin, and Elaine Cruz for a day of researching military equipment through history and drawing.

I got only a couple drawings but took lots of photos for reference. Hopefully I'll look at the photos and make more drawings later on. These were done with the Pentel Tradio and Pocket Brush pens on Moleskine.

I felt like I was a kid again drawing my G.I. Joes! I highly recommend this place if you have to research any type of historical military equipment!
