Frezzato fan-art

Frezzato fan-art
During my early twenties I was subscribed to Heavy Metal magazine for a few years. For those of you who don't know, it's an adults oriented comics magazine (alot of the comics involes violence and/or nudity). In every issue I didn't like at least half of the comics. Either the story was stupid or I didn't like the drawing style. But it was those few other great comics that made every issue worth it. At some point I sat down with a pencil and copied some of the characters of some of my favorite artists.
This is a sketch I did of a character from Frezzato's graphic novel The 2nd Moon. I really love Frezzato's art. It's the perfect mix between manga and european-style comics. Aside from his great artistic ability, Frezzato also shows an immense imagination. For this fantasy story, he created amazing landscapes, cities, mechanical flying machines and great characters.

Another sketch in my Field Notes sketchbook.

Note: I will be updating this blog once a week - every Saturday. I find it difficult at this time to keep up with two updates a week.

Worm & dog

Worm & dog
Yes, it's a worm, not a snake.
This doodle was a test for the Pigma brush pen. What I can say is that it's okay when new but very soon the (fiber-tip) brush loses it's sharp edge and it's not very fun to draw with anymore. I'm not getting another one of these brush pens, though I do like the other Micron pens. I read some good recommendations about the Pentel brush pen so I'll try to get my hands on one of those.
