One Saturday morning at the Grindhouse coffee shop (go check them out), I started sketching up one of Batman’s allies. Once the pencil lines started taking shape, I found DC Comics Bat Girl prepared to fight crime. This was a fun drawing all the way through.
Original artwork is on a 9x12 Canson Mix Media pad. Created with a Mechanical Pencil, Micron pens, and Copic markers.
The Latverian Supreme Leader Dr. Doom holds a powerful grasp of power unequalled to many in the cosmos. Drawing this iron masked sorcerer is always fun. I drew him conjuring up unmeasurable power in front of his castle preparing for the foes that don't understand his brilliance.

I used Copic markers and drew all four famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles individually on mix media paper and then combined them digitally. Before transferring the traditional drawings digitally, I colored each member with their own unique color with Copic markers. Leonardo blue, Donatello purple, Raphael red and Michelangelo orange. I posed each member distinctively since they have their own unique personality and weapons. On one piece, I assembled the ninjas together with a grimy street ally wall background and used the commonly abbreviation TMNT title head. The other final piece I incorporated their animated version title with each Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle on their own distinctive corner with their color theme and attitude.
