Lord of the Rings Sketches
Filed Under Array
I recently was sent 306 “sketchcards” to draw for Lord of the Rings Masterpieces II from Topps. Sketchcards have the requisite backing that one would expect on a trading card (glossy, full color, adorned with likenesses of the movie characters). On the front, however, is a surface receptive to making a mark.
Before having been sent these cards, I was asked to do a test for New Line Cinema. As was mentioned before when I posted my first penciled value work, I learned to draw digitally over the last three or so years. I’ve not done a lot of analog drawing, so I thought this would be a good challenge. Here’s the aforementioned test sketch:
After having been sent the cards, I continued drawing with this pencil approach, but do to the quantity of cards and the relatively small period of time to deadline, all that seems to be expected of the participating artists is a con-style sketch. Loose, gestural, not terribly elaborate. I started to experiment and, for the first time ever, picked up a real brush and ink.
Now, I have to qualify that statement. It’s a tad misleading. I’ve worked with PITT Artist Pen Brush Pens a bit. I thought I’d had decent control with those (mostly just noodling around in sketchbooks after I took the initial analog plunge some weeks back). Compared to the control I received from this actual, bonafied brush, I think it’s safe to say this is the first time I’ve picked up a real brush and ink.
These six cards are my first ever forays into the world of analog, brush inking and, I have to say, I really like the results:
(Click the image for my Flickr page with larger sizes available.)
The lines aren’t AS slick and smooth as my digital work, but they don’t need to be. They’re charming. I dare say the process was faster and more fun than working digitally too.
I don’t suspect I’ll be giving up my Wacom anytime soon, but it is definitely a venue I want to explore further. I like the quality of the line I get with a brush. And there’s definitely some challenge in wanting to master its use.
A few more sketchbook doodles after the cut.

An Official Sketch from Life
Filed Under Array
I don’t draw from life very much. Being an artist, I’m sure that’s a shameful thing to admit, but I have a valid excuse: I don’t like having people hate me. A couple week ago, however, I decided to draw this guy. I’m not sure that it really looks like him… but I don’t know him so it’s ok if he hates me.
