27th Post!

Here's some pages (minus the lettering) from the cowgirl story I've been working on...

 

 Story by Joe Pekar and Jeff Outlaw, Art by Joe Pekar.

I just wanted to show some of the work I've been keeping busy with lately :).

More Cowgirl art...

This is a remake of sorts of an earlier piece I posted with her and a pull toy type horse. Which seemed fun, but I really wanted to draw more horses, so...this is the updated image.

And here's a panel from the in-progress comic with her. I'll be posting more info on this book as I get it completed, but for now here's a little preview...

and now a watercolor piece featuring another character from the story (and a variation on her design that I posted a couple weeks ago...clearly it wasn't skimpy enough for me to draw ;))

First up, the digital sketch (which I may digitally color someday just to see how it turns out).

 

 then col-erase pencils...

                               finally, watercolors (and some white acrylic paint here and there.)

Hope you enjoy!

So what's with the cowgirl I've been drawing lately?

I've drawn her a few times over the years, and always wanted to do more with her (she's fun to draw!). A few older images are on my Deviant Art page.
Early Drawing
Slightly more 'realistic' version

Lately I've been working on the 3rd issue of my Brandi Bare comic, but I've gotten sidetracked with another story I've wanted to do with this cowgirl.

It's all still in the early stages of development but I thought it would be fun to post progress images as it comes together.

Now, I had to draw the back of her costume for once, right? ;)

 And this is one of the supporting characters. Because I needed a reason to draw more geisha girls :)

All the images I've drawn for the cowgirl have been digitally colored so far. I wanted to try my hand at a watercolor version of her.

This was a photo because my scanner can't handle those shades of pink and purple that I love, as it tends to wash out those bright colors.

hope you enjoy the peek into my process.

15th Post!

Thought I'd post some of the process for making this Cowgirl pinup.

Started with just a couple random sketches with a blue col-erase pencil on copy paper.

Scanned the sketches and drew up a cleaner version in photoshop.

Flipped the art and printed it out and traced onto 9x12 bristol paper with red (and blue) col-erase pencils.

Then added Copic Markers.

Decided to just render the skin tones (and hair) on this one. It's a look I've wanted to try for a while, but would usually get so wrapped up in the coloring that I'd be halfway finished before remembering :).
