Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop sketched into a sketchbook.

Took a shot at sketching Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. My sketchbook may be a touch small and my pen may be a little broad for inking some of the details I attempted, but still happy with the result.

Interesting one!

Thanks!

Some days all you have is the pen and paper and nothing else matters. Keep drawing.

Lots of people dressing weird today. Wonder what's up with that...

Sketch of Lupin the Third in a sketchbook.

Lupin the Third! No cooler character exists. This is actually the first time putting pencil to paper in this sketchbook. But it's nice to add a step to the workflow. The pencils allowed me to be more purposeful with the ink likes rather than sketching in ink.

Good morning! And a happy Friday to those who celebrate.

It's funny because this is actually the second sketch of Lupin in my book. The first one I didn't share because, oddly enough, looked too much like Monkey King.

Yup. The brush pen can be pretty versatile if you play around with it.

I'm off to bed. But if you happen to be up, do check out all the sketches I've been posting this past week. It's been loads of fun for me and you might enjoy some of them.

Thank you!

Oh nice suggestion! Unexpected.

Thanks! The drawing is pretty good looking too.

Detective Conan sketch in ink in a sketchbook.

Detective Conan! This was so fun to sketch up in the sketchbook. It's not in my wheelhouse, which is exactly why I had to try. Getting a nice balance between controlled and expressive marks with the brush pen is something I'm getting more confidence with.

Oh, interesting. More subtle. That's definitely something to try out. Thanks!

Love it! Gotta give that a try. Some interesting challenges with that one.

Oh, love the hair. That might be really fun to do with brush! Thanks!

What's crazy is I've actually drawn some Demon Slayer stuff for a client. Wish I could post it. Maybe I'll draw some more. Great suggestion!

I'm just trying to get out of my comfort zone. I could totally try drawing something from that. Have to get a little more familiar with it.

Still taking suggestions on which anime or manga character to sketch next. Hit me with your favs!

Definitely going to take a crack at Spike. The Titan self-portrait...I'll have to give it some thought.

Awesome! Thank you!

Usagi doesn't count (though I love him and have virtually all the books.) But other suggestions are solid. Thanks!

I'm continuing the anime/manga theme in my sketchbook for a bit. Any suggestions as who to sketch? The first one I did was Detective Conan (go check it out!) Tomorrow is a surprise, but I don't have any ideas beyond tomorrow so give me suggestions!

Thank you! It's fun to try, but wildly surprising to be successful.

Thank you! Totally needed to hear that.

Gonna be honest with you, I am really proud of this sketch. Am I crazy?

Imagine subtle storytelling. What an idea.
