Sneak Peek: Doctor Who Classics #5 cover...

Just got the okay to post this, my cover for issue #5 of IDW's DOCTOR WHO CLASSICS series, featuring Sylvester McCoy's Seventh Doctor. This was one of the first things I drew on the Cintiq, and the first thing I've ever tried to color in a naturalistic way.

Can't show you what's really on the art table today (secret things), but here's a look at a quick layout I worked up on the Cintiq for a Doctor Occult/Blue Devil piece I might use for warmup next week.

On The (Digital) Art Table: WHO Warmup Sketch...

Another look at the Doctor Who piece I've been playing with this week as a warmup and to practice drawing on the Cintiq. I suspect I'll drop in some kind of background and some colors at some point and add it to my portfolio.

Sketchbook: Eleventh Doctor, digital sketch...

Another digital Doctor Who warmup sketch in Manga Studio, this time featuring the Eleventh Doctor.

Sketchbook: First Doctor, digital doodle...

Working on a secret comic book script for the last week or so and didn't get a chance to draw much of anything. Did this quick doodle of the First Doctor in Manga Studio this morning to loosen up the drawing muscles.

Sketchbook: Self-Portrait, digital sketch...

More playing around with drawing on the computer. Needed a doodle of myself for a FCBD book my friends Ron Marz, Paul Harding, Jennifer L. Meyer, Richard Clark and I are doing for two of our favorite shops in the area, Excellent Adventures and Comic Depot, so I did this very quickly in Manga Studio.

Sketchbook: Doctor Who, digital sketch...

If you follow me on Twitter, you may know that I've started experimenting with Manga Studio. As someone who has been making comics with pen and paper for 19 years now, the idea of drawing on the computer seems very science-fiction-y, but I'm intrigued by the possibilities.

So.. here's a quick sketch I did while working out what all the tools in Manga Studio do and just generally trying to get used to drawing with a tablet while looking at a computer screen.

And I should mention my friend Doug Hill's excellent Manga Studio tutorials, which helped me every time I hit a snag. Doug literally wrote the book on Manga Studio, and his tutorials are excellent. You can find the first of his 3-part 'webinar' on MS 5 here.
