Free Comic Book Day was back on May 3rd. And here's a bunch of artwork I did that day (or... week...). I had wanted to do SOMETHING for FCBD, but I couldn't figure out what. My local comic shops already booked their resident artists, and I'm not popular enough to be "requested" by an out-of-town shop, so... I was like "What should I do?"
I decided I'd open myself up to some free comissions from my Facebook friends. I posted a status, that said if they LIKED or COMMENTED on the status, I'd do them up a drawing. Originally I was planning on keeping it quick and simple like a Con sketch, or if I had landed a comic-book store post for the day. But, as i started doing them, I decided to fall more and more on my traditional style of coloring and what-not in Photoshop. I still tried to keep the actual drawings themselves quick and free flowing... but... yeah, didn't quite happen on all of them.
Some of them turned out really well, others... not so much. My idea was to do it as a "test run" for if I got an Artist Alley table at SDCC this year (Update: I did NOT get a table). TO see how quickly I could draw "on demand". I learned a ton going through the process... and even surprised myself a couple times. So despite some major flaws on some of them, the things I learned will be of great help!
