Influences Part 02 – Skottie Young

Influence Part 02 – Skottie Young

An artist for Marvel, Skottie Young’s artwork is absolutely stunning. The way he inks really does make me want to delve more into that side of things and the way he uses shapes just gets me excited!

Take a look at these bad boys:

He recently did a book called The Adventures of Bernard the World Destroyer – Awesome!! And I’d love one day to own his collection of sketches, Junk One

Skottie is also the man behind art for the comic series Ozma of Oz go check it out.

And finally he’s recently teamed up with artist Scott Morse to do warm up sketches based on a theme or film and these are incredible sketches, keep an eye out

Part 3 tomorrow…

Sketchbook Pics

Been a busy week of sketching and painting.  Thought I’d throw up some of the sketches I’ve been doing.  A couple of pics are actually copies of pics by other artists and will highlight these. (apologies for the poor scans)

Above pic was just a doodle I started.  No idea who it is but seemed to work as a caricature piece.

This pic is a copy of Daniel from the Bible as drawn by Dennis Jones from his “See With Me Bible” – awesome illustrations in it take a look if you can!!

Again, top left image is an angel from the book of Daniel as drawn by Dennis Jones.  My character on the right didn’t quite live up to his standards – eyes weren’t quite right…

Top image is an image by Skottie Young – didn’t quite get it right, but looks ok.  My character below was one I was pleased with.

Don’t forget as well to have a look at Frank Rain by Eric Merced – Week Two

So there you have it.  More pics will be posted soon, remember all comments and critiques welcome!!
