Usagi Yojimbo 2

Another crack at Usagi Yojimbo

This started as a little sketch I did while at work yesterday

I scanned it in, blew it up and printed it on some copy paper. I took that to the lightbox and took my first crack at fresh inks on a 9 x 12 piece of Bristol.

That led to this finished piece which actually differs from what is above.

The neck on this was driving me crazy. Usagi doesn't have a very long neck, and although my take on him is in fact that - MY take, I think Usagi's lack of neck is a pretty defining characteristic. So, after scanning this in, I photo shopped his neck and head ever so slightly to get the finished pic at the top of the post.

And yes, I did all those little dots on his shirt. Stan did it, I thought I should, too!

My wife got me some Usagi Yojimbo books for Christmas. I'm loving them!

 

Venom

Between moving, work and Christmas preparations, I haven't had much of a chance to draw.

Here's a Venom I did a couple years back...just to remind myself that I do like to drawn sometimes!!

Black Widow

 

Today's inking practice.

 

I've decide to practice my inking a bit because I not very good and often ruin good pencils. This is from the same black widow pencils I did for the "Maverick" cover a few months ago. I blew them up and printed out in blue on card stock.
