Great month Monsta.  I loved everyone's old... and new takes on their characters.  This month I'm in charge so I'll just cut all of the pomp and circumstance and get right to it.

*******************************************

OK everyone.  I haven't taken the reigns in awhile, but May is gonna' be my month.  I just came back from an awesome weekend at C2E2 (where I bought 2 sets of Copic warm & cool grays and Copic MultiLiner's.  Now... I'm ready to use them.  

So here's what we're gonna' do.  We're gonna' draw...

 Hearts HeartsCheesecake Hearts Hearts

That's right fanboys and fangirls, we're doing good girl art in the styles of... and inspired by... such modern masters of the form as  

Adam Hughes   Drool

Terry Dodson   Downtown

Arthur Adams I'd Hit It Sign

and Frank Cho  Swooning

Now here's the catch... like any good tease, you have to put spoiler tags on them.  Also, to keep in theme with the art of the tease, there can be NO nudity (This means that you can't show the naughty bits).  Make your drawings as sexy as you can, but keep it within the guidelines.  But most importantly HAVE FUN DRAWING!!

Lastly, I've already said that I believe that this month will set a record for most views in a month  Whistle.  But it would be SUPER COOL if we could knock down the "most pages record" set by the Spidey-villians month too.

*******************************************

HAVE FUN!

If you're new to the thread here's how it works.  We're here to have fun and to sharpen our drawing skills.  All amateurs & professionals are welcome to participate.  If you want to submit a piece of artwork, here are the rules...Number #1) only post characters for the current month's assignment (a little spillover is OK from the previous month)...Number #2) You must be the artist (we're not looking for your original art collection, that's another thread)...& Number #3) (and most importantly) Have fun drawing.

Well, as we wind down to the last day tomorrow, I just want to say a BIG thank you to all who have participated in this months challenge.

The contributions have been as stellar as any of the other months and have included a wide and varied interpretation of the glorious British comic book history.

I'm doing this on an iPad without the use or inclusion of the smilies, so if this doesn't work then that's why' so...

Not Worthy :yourock:

I think you catch my drift.

Okay, everyone! Here is one topic that I'm sure will have the lowest turnout of any sketching months! That's right. If I can't shoot for the highest participation, I might as go for the record on the opposite extreme!  Surrender

So finally in May, I met the legendary Neal Adams for the first time in my life. After I thanked him for his art that helped inspired me to draw better comics, he began the following conversation that inspired this month's theme:
Neal Adams: So you're an artist?
Me: Yes, sir. An aspiring one.
Neal: You draw over photos much?
Me: Well, if you mean trace, almost never, sir.
Neal: Well, you should. You should work from photos as much as you can if you want to get better at drawing. Let me tell you something… I'm one of the few industry pros that would admit to working over photos. 99.9% of them are liars.
Me:Uhhhhh…

So in light of Neal's newly imparted wisdom, I introduce to you this month's challenge: Drawing Inspiration From Real Life/Photos. The objective here is not so much of what or what not to draw, but instead how we draw from a photo or real life subject we are looking at. Of course, this does not mean you are limited to just life drawing sketches. Draw your inspirations from the photo/real life object and turn it into something that's comics related. A simple photo of a rock can be turned into Superman grasping a kryptonite while collapsing. Turn that guy with bed hair at the coffee shop into the Joker. Have fun, let your imaginations run high. Only requirement is that you include that reference from real life/photo actually in your artwork, paying special attention to the textures and lighting.

If you are working from a photo and want to post both the photo and your work, that would be great. Of course, let's respect the copyright owner of the photo that are not your own. Give proper credit if the source becomes a major part of your derivative work, and you are on your own in navigating the murky legal waters especially if you plan on distributing such work for monetary gain.

I apologize in advance if this is totally out in the left field… but I'd be happy to see what may come of it.

I routinely work with professional models whom I hire for sets I work on for DC, Marvel,Topps, UD and Cryptozoic.
This is right up my allley.  I will hit you with one I just did for a cover of comic book short story based on the Neko Case Song "This Tornado Loves you." I always promise the models that the original Photo references will not leak because a lot of times they just take them self shot in a messy apartment.
Caution. NSFW on the photo.

I really hope people embrace this challenge. I know photo reference has gotten a bad name because a lot of LAZY artists stopped using photos as reference and started tracing. Pro artists like myself however have used photos as reference for centuries. You can come up to me at a con and ask for a matt smith or tennant doctor who and in front of you I will pull up a pic of them and use it as reference to make you what you want. 

I trained myself without classes to draw large sports portraits of athletes by drawing the images from multiple baseball cards and magazines. Its a great way to train ones eye. If you do it for the 15 years I have, by new I use models as very loose reference cause I can draw a body and face the way its supposed to look very easilly without reference.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing that piece. So was the background scenery totally from imagination or collages of references you had mocked up?
