Jon Malin Art Thread

[Jon Malin]

Hey all, I'm a new member, I've posted these images over the last few weeks on a handful of forums in seperate threads but figured I might as well dump them into one instead of flooding the board with new threads.

Hope you like it.

[spazzy mcghee]

I'm no pro and would never claim to be, but these are good. I have an affinity for pencils so I think those are my Fav. But I also like what you did with the light coming off the armor in the last one. VERY COOL!!!

[Jon Malin]

spazzy mcghee- Thanks alot, really glad that you like the reflected light effect.

-Jon

[Lonewalker]

My. Freakin’. God. =O Those Guardians of the Galaxy covers made me happy. And by happy I mean “happy”. Whoa!

You sure those aren’t for a real revamp? Man, only thing that’s missing to accompany that art is the story; I’d read that Guardians of the Galaxy revamp.

The rest is amazing, and the Ice Age sequential is really funny.

Kudos.

[Jon Malin]

PsychoZeke- Glad you like them. The truth is that it was actually done as a pitch for a new Guardians series that I was told got rejected a few months back. Story of my life. The whole story was planned out and it would have been sweet. The story wasn't mine so I can't say anything about that but this is how the book and characters would have looked as I was slated to draw it.

I also pitched New Warriors a good while back which I was proud of at the time but that was rejected due to the new direction they went with the Skottie Young version as I wanted to make it darker and they wanted to make it a cartoon.

Still trying to get my big 2 break any way I can.

Glad you like it and the scrat.

[BoosterBronze]

Dude, it's not often I say "Image Inspired" and not mean it as a knock, but you're pinups/covers show everything I loved about the over the top energy of early Image guys without the lack of style that often came with it.

And you sequential pages (cute ending btw) show you're more than just a pin-up dude.

You're GotG redesigns are very shafty. Modern, cool, but not a complete departure from the originals.

Good work, and good luck!

[TroyCarlson]

Dude, it's not often I say "Image Inspired" and not mean it as a knock, but you're pinups/covers show everything I loved about the over the top energy of early Image guys without the lack of style that often came with it.

Seriously! You are like Liefield with a sense of proportion! Killer stuff.

(One comment...what's that outfit that the girl washing the dishes is wearing? I'd like to pick one up for my fiancee.) :evilsmile

[Jon Malin]

BoosterBronze- Thanks alot for all the compliments for my work. I'm glad that you feel that I have a range as an artist with the sequentials, normally people do get the perception that all I can do is pin-up art because I am Image inspired. So thanks!

TroyCarlson- Thanks as well to you, Troy. It's great that you like the work. As for the shirt, I couldn't tell you wear to buy one at, Hot Topic maybe? :rolleyes:

Sequentials


http://malin.dashmartin.com/scrat2.jpg



LOL. I love art with a sense of humor. (very funny)

Awesome stuff bro.

[Jon Malin]

Nikita- Thanks, I'm glad that you liked the work. :)

-Jon

[Ray Dillon]

Jon Malin, I want to have babies with you!!! :D

Sorry.

Dude, what's up with the Ice Age sabertooth squirrel sequentials?? Those are awesome!

[Ray Dillon]

By the way, with your signature, username, and tag at the end of your message, you're remindin' me of MIKE JONES!!! Mike Jones ... mikejones ... mi... jo... ... .. .

Wait, I guess I kinda do that, too.

:o

[Jon Malin]

Ray- His name is SCRAT! And he rocks.

I threw together the sequential purely to show clear storytelling ability. I popped Scrat in there because I felt if I can make the 2 pager funny as well I figure that'd be a good way to wrap it up instead of going nowhere with it.

All I know about "Mike Jones" is the phrase "Who is Mike Jones?". I have no clue who he is.

Good to hear from ya, Ray! You going to Chicago this year by any chance?

-Jon

[Jon Malin]

Hey all,

Here is a new redesign I did of Namor and Namorita. Before anyone says it, yes, I am aware that they are cousins. They're just close. :eek:

http://malin.dashmartin.com/namor.jpg

-Jon

[BoosterBronze]

Namor looks dynamic, (and a little like Amazo) but Namorita just looks like some dame in a swimsuit. And they are royalty, so kissing cousins is kinda normal.:)

[Solaris]

Namor looks dynamic, (and a little like Amazo) but Namorita just looks like some dame in a swimsuit. And they are royalty, so kissing cousins is kinda normal.:)


Yeah, but she looks doggone good in that swimsuit. :D

Cool work, Jon.

[Chocolove]

And they are royalty, so kissing cousins is kinda normal.:)

True to form, it appears Namorita's about to stab him in the back. [/will not use smiley] Seriously, it's a great rendering/redesign for the character (except for the glove).

What exatly is Namor wearing on both arms ?

[Jon Malin]

BoosterBronze- Thanks!

Solaris- Thank you very much, I'm happy that you like it...and Namorita SHWING!

Chocolove- You are the ONLY one to catch, on any board, the visual with the knife that she is going to stab him in the back(though I got a few replies saying she was going to stab his butt). It's supposed to be subtle for sure but you got it and that's really cool for me. The concept I wrote for this has Namorita making a powerplay against Namor.

Namor is wearing what I considered a form of royal armor.

-Jon

[Jaye]

Nice work, got more Namor stuff? I like this version of him.

-Jon

It's a fair compromise between the shorts and the black costume, maintaining Namor's primary look while taking a more sensible approach. It's just odd seeing Namor wear so much clothing. :p And good luck breaking in with the big two.

[Jon Malin]

13th- Glad you like this version. I don't have anything more for Namor currently.

Chocolove- Thanks again, I need all the luck I can get.

[Jon Malin]

Hey everyone, these pages below are what I'll be dropping off into DC's talent search box at Chicago. Please feel free to let me know what you think as I'm more than happy to tweak things if needed up to the convention.

Gotta make these pages count so shoot!

[Lubichev]

Very impressive. Very impressive indeed.
I really really like your first page.

If anything, the stairs may lose a bit of perspective at the bottom, but I'm fishing.

Hope to see your work in print sometime! Looks as if you are pretty close. Keep us posted.

[Jon Malin]

Lubichev- Thanks for the time and comments. Very appreciated. I'll see what I can do about those stairs.

-Jon

[Fish Sauce]

Those are great! I honestly can't think of any improvements. That Batman is awesome.

[Kaos]

OMD that is so sick bruv.They'd better get at you man, thats live.Man joker is sick in dat .

safe

[lucifernomi]

Very nice. Great actually. My only critique is that Batman's pecs seem a little 2D compared to the rest of his bulging muscles.

[Jon Malin]

Hey everyone, thanks a bunch for your comments and crits. Very appreciated.

Sorry for delay in reply, my brother got Married on Saturday and my family has been staying with me and we've been very busy with all the kids. Now I'm playing catch up.

Chicago is almost here, I'm getting pretty excited!

Thanks again!

-Jon

[Jon Malin]

Hey everyone, just reporting the news.

I've returned from Chicago and I blew the talent search, I didn't make the list and never came close to a review/interview.

I'll never know the exact reason I was passed on by every department at DC. I felt the art was at least at a level for an review, guess not.

Thanks for everyone's help.

-Jon

[.::OkieDokieArtichokie::.]

Awww... That's so sad. I liked the art a lot. The perspective seemed a bit off in a couple panels. But I have seen them be pretty lax on that stuff. Better luck next year? :(

[howyadoin]

I think your work is pretty good, but as others have mentioned, there are some perspective problems.

Unlike the others, I don't see this as a small thing. Perspective is the basis for almost all the other aspects of art. Without it, the underlying structure of everything an artist draws will most likely be wrong.

[Sophisticated_Gamer]

jesus joker is amazing...wow...do you mind if i practice inking on that?

[Kaos]

i'll employ you..for free...in my chinese fortune cookie factory..so make comics for my own personal gain...and whip you if you don't draw quick enough..hows that sound?

[Dustin]

Great job! You drew those right?

[Affinity]

WOW!

Those are fabulous, Jon! Very very good work.

[SmittyX]

Jon, your skills speak for themselves, and they are vastly superior to my own (so I'm not sure if I feel qualified to comment). I'd be interested in whatever criticism you've gotten from the Big Deuce, cause this stuff seems right up their alley. I'd also love to see your work on something that's not in the superhero genre (although action packed is good!). Sometimes it's not a question of skill level, but of establishing an unique, innovative look. perhaps a change in subject matter will inspire some new stylistic influences.

Sincerely,

SmittyX.

[foxfire]

Those are fantastic! I'd hire you :D

[Pheonix-NoRelation]

Marvel Scout: Hey Joe Q, I think we've found a replacement for Cassady.

Joe Q: Let me see. * Looks @ Pics * Sign Him Up.

[twilight]

Fantastic work.

Reminds me of a more angular Olivier Coipel.

[Iangould]

Excellent work, John - got any story pages?

[Balian]

Wow, great work. Have you done one of Gambit?

[spoon_jenkins]

Fantastic work.

Reminds me of a more angular Olivier Coipel.
Yeah, it evokes Coipel for me, too, but maybe a bit cleaner and less stylized than Coipel.

It's really good stuff. Give this guy some work! :D

[Jaye]

So very beautiful, I'd buy your comics.

[Kaos]

why the hell are you not drawing x-men....shiiiiit you'd be the illest x-men artist i've seen in time....cyclops looks so sick....many people don't get that he should look the DON

[Ontir]

Cassaday is leaving, get your samples to Marvel FAST!

[Jon Malin]

Dustin- Thanks and yeah.

Affinity- Thank you very much.

SmittyX- I've been completely ignored by DC. I never get past the talent search submission box with them. Never met or talked with a single editor.

I have a Marvel contact and he has kept in touch and doesn't have any criticism for the most part(he thought Kitty's hands were a little large) but I still haven't been offered any work, instead I keep doing sample pages for him. I'm under the impression that I'm zeroing in on a project finally but we'll see.

foxfire- GREAT! Now get into Marvel or DC!

Pheonix-NoRelation- I wish, but I don't think Joe Q has ever seen my work. I believe it's handed around to a few of the lower level editors. I don't know for sure.

twilight- Thanks.

Iangould- Not for X-MEN, I was going to work from a sample script for X-MEN but since my chances are pretty much zero for doing an X book out the gate my Marvel contact is switching me over to a sample script for a book that I might actually have a shot at drawing one day.

Balian- No, this is all I did for the X-MEN.

spoon_jenkins- Yeah, give me some work, MARVEL!

13th- Thanks, I'd appreciate the support.

Kaos- I don't know, I wish I knew why I was asked to draw the X-MEN in the first place if my contact knew there was almost no chance for a newbie to draw them.

Ontir- I did. Was pretty much laughed at when I asked if they would need a fill-in guy or maybe an artist for back-ups after he leaves.

-Jon

[kmeyers]

Ontir- I did. Was pretty much laughed at when I asked if they would need a fill-in guy or maybe an artist for back-ups after he leaves.

-Jon
Well, never give up on that, these are seriously great drawings.

But did you show them panels? they don't care much about splash pages, they want to see what they're going to be paying you for.

Because if your panels are as good as your full pages, I can't wait to see them.

[Jon Malin]

kmeyers- Marvel asked me to do these Character studies, I didn't do it on my own. Marvel has been seeing my sequentials for a long while now and was planning to have me work from an X-MEN sample script following these studies.

Upon the realization from my contact that the chances of me doing anything with X-MEN is remote, he is now planning to send me a sample script for characters I would have a better chance to work on.

Here's some of my seqs...

BATMAN

[Pheonix-NoRelation]

Wow! I love the Batman! :D

[AnkaleRa]

Those are all quite amazing Jon! I'd have to say your artwork seems reminiscent of some of Michael Turner's work. And I really love the Deadpool sequences!

[Ontir]

Don't worry about being laughed at. Everyone who ever makes it, has stories of being treated poorly, and/or being underestimated. You've got good, solid pages, just keep doing what you're doing, and people will take notice.

[Sophisticated_Gamer]

Jesus, when i get good enogh at inking, can i ink that?

[BoosterBronze]

Your Wolverine is currently my desktop

[Jon Malin]

I was sent an X-MEN sample script to try out. This is from Astonishing X-MEN #14 I believe. Cyclops is not in costume, I tried to give him some off-duty X duds.

[eggie]

Your art is fantastic...I totally love what you did with those pages...great job!

[Jon Malin]

Thank you very much, Eggie. I hope Marvel feels the same.

-Jon

[Balian]

Your work is really great man.

[BoosterBronze]

Wish I had more to say other thant "AWESOME" but that's all I'm thinking.

[Jon Malin]

Balian and BoosterBronze- Thank you both very much. I'll be talking to Marvel next week regarding these pages so hopefully I get somewhere with them this time.

-Jon

[eggie]

Keep us posted on what happens...if they don't hire you they are totally insane!

[Affinity]

Wow!

That's so cool to see someone else's entirely different take on the same script!

Very cool. Amazing work, man!

[Balian]

Keep us posted on what happens...if they don't hire you they are totally insane!Yeah, keep us posted.

[Phreak SA]

Great work man! I REALLY like your stuff. It's definitely better than some of the stuff they're publishing at the moment!

a few hints though, constructive, promise:

Page7, the first3 panels are fantastic, but with the last panel, Scott's face looks a bit flat. With close ups like that, just add hints of contour. I know a lot of guys leave that up to the coloring, but it will make your pencilling stronger, and you give them the option to follow YOUR portrayel of his face.

Page8, Same thing with white queen's face. You have a solid side profile but not a lot of features as there need be. Don't get me wrong, it's not something WRONG, but something that would make it work better. I struggled with the same thing (I'll post a page on my 'Phreak's sketchbook' after this for you to check out). My personal opinion is just that one should never become complacent with doing as other artists do, but rather aim to do it differently or better. This page is powerful though, and Wolferine at the right bottom in the reader's face works perfectly. Emma might just be a bit 'posed' behind him.

Page9: Is perfect, and works for me, and having read the comic, I kinda know what was happening too.

I think your work is great though, and I personally wish I could draw such clean pencils! Anyway, keep up the awesome work, and keep us posted.

[Jon Malin]

Cap and Iron Man.

-Jon

http://malin.dashmartin.com/na1.jpg

[SamuraiJack]

That's some very impressive work, Jon. I'd love to see it inked and colored...

[Jaye]

Wow, how long did that take?
Its stunning.

[Kaos]

thats pretty damn cool due, inked and coloured would be TIGHT

[Ontir]

I noticed a similarity in Cap's face, to Liefield, before scrolling down and seeing the Supreme link; but your heads are in much better proportion to your bodies. I really liked the illustration, moreso, than the "Supreme" cover, and would like to see more of your work.

[Jon Malin]

eggie- Nothing concrete yet, they have their eye on a possible project but way to soon at this point. I'll have notices on my myspace page for any announcements. I'll try to post an annoucement here as well but it'll certainly be found on myspace.

http://www.myspace.com/jonmalin

Affinity- Thanks, yeah I felt the same way after I drew it. About a week later I went to a comic shop and found a copy of the actual issue and it was sweet seeing the different approach.

Balian- I'm sure I'll let it be known in these boards but certainly on my myspace page.

Phreak SA- Thanks, great tips. I'll keep them in mind. Glad you're liking the work overall.

-Jon

[Jon Malin]

SamuraiJack- You'll certainly see it colored. I had a request for a high res for coloring about a week ago, I figure another week might be a good guess, depends on the artist though.


13th- I don't believe it took more than 5 hours. Glad you like the work.


Kaos- Thanks, I'm really looking forward to seeing it colored. I believe he's going to give it a painterly look so it'll be interesting.

Ontir- Rob is a big influence on my work.

You can see more of my work in the Supreme comic I drew(Supreme Sacrifice #0) or the 2 Nitrogen books I drew. If your shop doesn't have copies they can order them or you can get them at the Arcade booth or JayCompany booths in SD or Chicago. Beyond published work, I should have something new posted pretty soon.


-Jon

[Zeb Oswalt]

Cool drawing.

[MaxofSteel]

Sweet pic dude!

Here's one where they're not so chummy.

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q109/calamax34/CapvsIronmanColor.jpg

Ouch!

[MaxofSteel]

Hey Jon, how long have you been pursuin the Marvel gig?
I'm hopeful at the prospect of getting into comics myself someday. I'm curious as to how its working out for you. Much luck btw and keep it up.

[Kaos]

Oh snap...can y'all say DOOOPE!
I ain' read the issue so Iono whats going on..but I an see emma's playin some crazy mind tricks on scott or sumin

[KirkFiege]

Hey man, you definetly have a future in comics in my opinion.
Kind of an Olivier Coipel feel to it, but not a copy-cat, so it`s great!
I don`t know about Marvel, but you should be able to walk into somewhere in the industry and build from there. Good luck!

In a critical way, my problems are Emma at the bottom of page 8. And the last panel on page 9 with Scott coming to reality is a little dry.

But in no ways should these be changed. It takes time to perfect your craft, and pretty much every proffessional artist out there has a bad panel or picture once in a while. You`re good man.

[Jon Malin]

Hey all.

Here's a pic I drew and colored, went a little darker than usual but I've been seeing some dark colors over Turner so I figured I'd give it a go.

-Jon


http://malin.dashmartin.com/avengers.jpg

[MaxofSteel]

Awesome work there Jon. I especially love the reflected glow on Cap and Wolvie.

My only criticism though is that Hulk's head is a liiiiittle too small. But thats merely a stylistic choice. So thats cool.

Any reason for the setting btw? Just curious. Eager to see more of your work!

[captain_unimpressive]

Awesome work there Jon. I especially love the reflected glow on Cap and Wolvie.

My only criticism though is that Hulk's head is a liiiiittle too small. But thats merely a stylistic choice. So thats cool.

Any reason for the setting btw? Just curious. Eager to see more of your work!

Yeah, it was obviously to emphasize the hugeness of Hulk's body, but it was taken to an extreme.
Other than that, great work.

[Durit]

Nice work, man.

[Jaye]

I like the Gamibit a lot!

[Solaris]

I'd love to be able to draw like this!

My favorite is the girl... but there's something a little odd about her butt... I think it doesn't curve out enough, even with the foreshortening going on. I love her face, hair, and hands... and that expression is awesome. :)

[eggie]

Your art, as usual, is fantastic! Love the Wolvie/Gambit and Shatterstar/Prophet the best...I have always wanted to see a fight between Shatterstar and Prophet and now you've made that happen. Keep up the good work and keep posting your art because I love seeing it!

Eggie :D

[Gumbo Maximillian]

Interesting hammer design and the Prophet versus Shatterstar image is pretty good.

[MartinRedmond]

Ah, these are fun. I feel like doing some 90s style pin ups. :]

[Captain Exaggeration]

Great stuff.

[TinMan]

That Wolverine/Gambit one is phat dude, good job!

[Comixjunky]

Slick stuff man, I (and I am sure I am not alone) would love to see some sequential stuff from you.

[Jon Malin]

Thanks everyone (Pressed for time so I'm making it short).

Here's some sequentials, Comixjunky. They're a few months old now...

[YoungG03]

i concur...gonna use the wolvie and gambit as desktop to replace Iverson

[Jon Malin]

I was asked to draw these two, I had the time, so I did.

http://malin.dashmartin.com/batspideysmall.jpg

[CE_Rap]

pretty cool, man. I see Batman is schooling Spidey on how to take down his own baddies:D

[Typo Lad]

Very strong work. I'm not liking Emma Frost for some reason, but the man look amazing.

[Typo Lad]

Okay, this I love.

You working on anything?

Edit: Ah, I see now.

[Michael P]

I like your webbing.

[Adrian Tullberg]

Looks great ...

[666MasterOfPuppets]

Envy is eating my entrails, dude. ;)

No, seriously, this art of yours is off-the-charts stuff.

[howyadoin]

I really dig those sequentials. Some cool stuff goin' on there.

[comicvine]

w00t awesome. This is making me want to draw again.

[Jon Malin]

New pic.

http://malin.dashmartin.com/wolviesmall.jpg

[Joe Acro]

My only complaint is that that rabbit is very distracting. Other than that, tremendous job!

[Jon Malin]

Joe Acro- Thanks so much for your time, crit and compliment. Very appreciated Joe.

[Typo Lad]

My only complaint is that that rabbit is very distracting. Other than that, tremendous job!
No! I loves the bunny!

[elheffe]

That's a lot of forehead.

[Typo Lad]

Also, why is Logan looking at his feet? Shouldn't he be looking ahead?

[Nikita]

Wow, that's really beautiful. And I totally dig the bunny. Nice touch.

[Jon Malin]

Here's a new one.

http://malin.dashmartin.com/avengers2.jpg

-Jon

[Joe Acro]

Except for Cage, that's a very nice image.

[Michael P]

Three criticisms:

First, Wasp's stance looks really weird. Even when they're not supporting her weight, her legs shouldn't be that wide apart.

Second, Iron Fist is essentially pimp-smacking Ultron. Some people might find that silly. I'm not one of them, but still.

Third, Cage looks too "shiny," and he's not really doing anything.

Other than that, I like it.

[Nikita]

That is an incredible piece of artwork. Damn, that's just some awesome pencil work. It looks nothing short of perfect to my eyes.

[Kara Zor El]

That's fantastic. Lots going on there. You have a lot of skill. Your actual characters are beautifully drawn. the compesistion is great. It just needs a little work on wasp stance.

[howyadoin]

Second, Iron Fist is essentially pimp-smacking Ultron. Some people might find that silly. I'm not one of them, but still.You don't think he could?

[Michael P]

You don't think he could?

Provided he'd activated the Iron Fist first, I guess. It's just the image that some might find silly.

[Kara Zor El]

Provided he'd activated the Iron Fist first, I guess. It's just the image that some might find silly.

I like the bitch slap myself. It's also very well executed. This could be well into the fight between the two and Ultron is almost finished and so Iron Fist theatrically bitch slaps him to convey to all around that the fight was easily won, that Ultron is basically a bitch to be slapped. That's some message.

[Jon Malin]

Just got the X-Men Annual, I assume it is Sinister at the end so I threw this together.

[Jon Malin]

New one.

Scarlet Witch

In an attempt to cut off the 2 questions I KNOW I'm gonna be asked....

1. Why does she have a sword?

2. Where did her clothes go?

Let me provide my answer---

It's the SCARLET WITCH, SHE'S FREAKIN CRAAAAAAAAAAZY!

http://malin.dashmartin.com/scarletwitch.jpg

[howyadoin]

Great face. About the only thing I'm not sold on is the areas where the black fills are obviously done in pencil.

[Affinity]

Looking cool!

I love your updates. Has Marvel replied to you?

[Gumbo Maximillian]

Pretty good

[Jon Malin]

Here's a double page splash that Marvel said was ok to show for Cable Deadpool #42, I'm drawing half the book. I hope you guys check it out.

Hope you like!

-Jon

[The Skoot]

Are you just doing this issue, or taking over the book?

[Affinity]

It looks cool, I'm glad you're keeping us updated! I'll always remember your threads of the Astonishing cast, and I'm glad you got the job!

[Pro]

Looking good!

[Jon Malin]

The Skoot- I'm just doing half of this issue. Hoping more work comes my way.

Affinity- Trying my best to update everyone for sure! Thanks for sticking around.

Pro- Thank you so much.

[Jon Malin]

Here are the colors!

[mattbib]

I hate shoulder-pads, but I have to say this looks pretty good, Jon.

Are those Reavers? Who is the female to Cable's right?

[Chris McFann]

you nailed the 90's look to a tee!

[Jon Malin]

Mattbib- I can't give out any details as I don't know how it might or might not effect the X-event. Glad you like it.

Chris- Thanks! I try to nail the 90's with modern sensabilities.

[Justice41]

Congrats on the new Gig Jon!!! Much Success Brudda!!

[rZi]

Your style reminds me of both john romita jr and jim lee, great work!

[The Confessor]

Yeah, some nice work there. I think pencils without inking is under rated and your colours just finish off the piece nicely.

Great stuff!

[Jon Malin]

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it very much.

[ThePhenom]

This should've been the cover to the "What If: Spider-Man vs. Wolverine" that came out last week... Great work.

[therealArturo]

I like the layout, but I really like Spidey's pose with the web. Nice.

[originalJAM]

Nice as always, Mr. Malin...............

I appreciate that someone put all my old art threads into one thread but it's all a bunch of dead links. The thread can stay and I'll post my new stuff in here if you'd like but please start it with this piece or people won't get this far treading through page after page of dead links. You can delete this message as well. Thank you for all the effort though, it is appreciated.

[Jon Malin]

Here's one for the weekend!

[Taz]

Thats great work man!!! I especially love the shading - particularly on the water reserve in the background!!!

[Gumbo Maximillian]

Pretty good; though I have to ask if you have a problem with characters from about knee's on down.

Because that seems to be about the cut out point for each of the characters.


Aside from that its pretty good.

[Jon Malin]

Taz- Thanks, I have fun doing that stuff. I get to basically shut my brain off for a while and just have fun.

Gumbo Maximillian- Actually yes, you see I only taught myself to draw from the knees up. If a foot could make a fist I'd draw it.:biggrin:

Actually I draw knees and below all the time. As a matter of fact, most of my pages are only of feet to knee shots and people are like..."I guess you can't draw from the knee up".

If only I could marry the two....:wink:
