Another pencil sketch of a man and some random words. The idea is that when I have finished all 50 of these images, if you put them together they will form a story of some kind. However I am leaving the random things in my head to work out what the story will be.

I was thinking the other day which is actually quite a dangerous past time. Which artists work do I most admire, well one of my favourite comic book artist is Bill Sienkiewicz, mainly due to the fact that he takes risks. A lot of artists I look at these days just do one style or one format and don’t seem to try out new things. Most of their galleries will contain 50 paintings which are variations of the same thing. Bills work on Elektra Assassin is probably the most daring artwork in a comic I have seen, no particular style, even the characters look different between one panel and the next.

In some places it works and somtimes fails, whats most impressive is that he takes the risk and I always think you learn far more from failure that you do from success.

Having said that I have just drawn another picture in the same style I have done 20, doh !
