Throwback to high school . An old drawing from around 1980 or so, of Frankenstein on tracing paper. I can see I was trying to keep it in 4 major values having gotten a copy of Andrew Loomis's Creative Illustration. I never finished it or some reason, maybe because I ended up disliking it.

Join us tomorrow as we ink a classic comic page live! That’s right there will be a live demo inking in clip studio over a classic comic page from Marvel or DC. You’ll see inking is drawing and interpretation— not tracing!! @jamarnicholas.bsky.social @steveconley.bsky.social

That's how I wish PAFA was , modern art students are wussies! His students were some of the best illustrators and painters ever, Cornwell, Tepper, Schaeffer, Riley, Schmidt.

A typical 12 hour work day as a student of Harvey Dunn,( if you were accepted)... a landscape before breakfast, then a still life study, in the afternoon a figure study out doors, then a sunset.

Rev. John W. P. Collier, Mrs Collier, and Johnnie Collier III in a cowboy costume, standing beside Pittsburgh Courier newspaper artist Wilbert L. Holloway, who seated at his drawing table, in 1951.
Uncle Sam (with angel wings and a halo) is looking at a mirror that a man is pointing to. The mirror says "prejudice, imperialism, class legislation, ignoring the constitution, lawlessness."
Wilbert Holloway (Aug. 11, 1899-April 1969) was a cartoonist & illustrator who created the comic strip Sunny Boy Sam. It was the second longest running strip in the Black press, lasting 41 years. His 1927 editorial cartoon below is titled "Seeing Yourself as Others See You." #BlackHistoryMonth
