The Drawing Board

[Andrew Tom]

For the month of June...may I present Mr. Gabriel Hardman...

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

Hey everybody. Gabe Hardman here. I've drawn Agents of Atlas, my Image OGN Heathentown and I'm currently the regular artist on Hulk. I'm here to announce this month's 11 O'Clock Sketchbook Challenge!

I've always been a fan of the Golden Age characters so I've chosen to go with...

The Justice Society of America

Any character, original or legacy, that's related to the JSA will work. All Star Squadron, Freedom Fighters and Infinity Inc. count too. Though my favorites are the genuine 1940's characters.

I'll do my best to contribute a sketch when I get back from Heroes Con. Look forward to seeing what everybody comes up with!

GH

Thanks for the new challenge Gabe.  I love me some golden age characters (can't wait)

Today must be Stargirl Day 

[Vernson]

Alright, Bryan!  I can tell you are having fun with this month's challenge.  Your characters are just that.  CHARACTERS!  Great stuff.

Mickey, you're right.  Today is a Stargirl day.  Right on, my man.

[JunBobKim]

Oooh, I do like the Stargirls! Sorry to have to break the trend, but mine is NOT a Stargirl. It's a Golden Age Batman instead:

Atom versus Atom Smasher
I called up Chris Neseman for ideas on this months EOC Challenge and after spitballing, I came up with this. I feel I have good ideas, but my execution can fail. I need an inker and a colorist to really make this shine. Anybody want to fix it up, go right ahead. I'll send a hi-res version.

[JunBobKim]

I like that idea a lot, Gordo!

Here is Sunday's Golden Age Mr. Terrific:

Andy,
Have I missed your sketch this month?

I know you still have 2 weeks.  I just want to make sure I don't miss it.

We tried to chain Andy to a desk at Summit City, but he just wasn't having it! We need more AT on this thread get to it Andy!

Besides that, all the entries that I haven't commented have been really great. Not to single out a single image but.
..GA Batman's ears = 

[Andrew Tom]

Sorry guys, work's got me pulling long weeks (especially since I had to work ahead so that I could hang out with Slurmo, Jon, and Lawrence at Summit City).  I posted an old Hawkman sketch at the beginning of the month, but I still need to do one.  Got till the end of the month before the new assignment...right?

...wait a minute, don't I make up the rules?

Come one Andy, I'm busy too! I spent 6 hours drawing yesterday (for work), so tonight I draw for fun.

Wonder Woman!

[Bluenote77]

Hey everyone, I had to take the advice of a wise man (Thanks Andrew), kinda go back to what I like to do. So here's a GL in charcoal. I'll keep practicing with the pens and brushes though.

Something I thought of though, I think I enjoy the charcoal because I can feel the paper under the charcoal and push, pull and fight with it. Which is what I like about the hard charcoal. With a brush though, there's no fighting back and forth. There's no physical give and take with the materials. It seems like a very thoughtful and graceful effort with a brush that I'm not use to. Even with my oils, I can push against the canvas because the bristles are pretty thick. But this brush and ink man, whole new world...

Beautiful work everyone, I need to go through and look closely at everyone's, but beautiful none the less.

[Bluenote77]

Alright, I did some more. Got a Liberty Belle Ink, and some more JSA Sketch Cards...Now, I'm going to bed. NITE

   uh-oh, I've been called out on my excuses.  I'm gonna' try and get it done this weekend. 

Nice Wonder Woman btw, 

[Bluenote77]

Afternoon everyone! I've finished some more cards and pieces this morning. You know when you feel like you're in a groove...gotta keep working.

Wow, just finished up a intense 3-day 18hrs per day marathon at my full-time work! Good thing is that when I skipped posting a day and Bluenote77 picked up the baton!

Some of your best yet

Great job

[JunBobKim]

Jun...how long have you been working in this medium?

By medium, I'm guessing comics? If so, I guess I've started drawing comics from around 2005 after a ten year hiatus.

If by ink wash, probably less than 2 years.

And now for something completely different...



Feel a little bit out of place posting this here, my first effort for trying to learn how to draw things. Figured that this might be a nice way of getting fresh ideas on what to draw every month and here we go. Besides it's fun !
