Marvel Manhair (D)

After Inktober (post coming soon!) it was time to get back in the swing of things on Instagram, starting with #manhairMonday.  I haven't seen the new Thor yet but we caught part of the second one on TV the other night, which led to this sketch. Tony and Cap naturally followed and so I present Marvel Dudes With Decreasing Amounts of Hair. These were fun.
And then I painted it.  I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying the brush changes on the latest Photoshop update.
Digital oils FTW!  Much less messy than the real thing.

Commission: Paul and Carrie (D)

Okay, one more commission via ArtCorgi just so I can be caught up. This was going to be a pretty standard engagement gift but I tried to up my game with some tilt shift and pushing for a more interesting pose and a last-second addition of the skyline's reflection (which should have been obvious, but oh well). He really liked it, I can only assume she does too. XD

ArtCorgi Fitness Commissions (D)

One more and I'll be (more or less!) caught up.  I recently updated my offered styles on ArtCorgi to include simpler, dynamic options, such as these, each commissioned by their significant others:
To Rachel, from Michael

To Someone, from Aly
They were quicker and fun and you can always count on dancers and athletes for dynamic poses.

ArtCorgi Couple Commissions (D)

(Wrote this almost a week ago and forgot to publish over the weekend!  Bah.)

I'm a little behind in posting stuff here (you can always find up-to-date posts on Instagram @drewgrahamart and @hinkypunkstation) but then I can post a few at once!  Apparently I'm one of a few go-to ArtCorgi artists clients pick for engagement/anniversary gifts, which is a niche I'm more than happy to fit into.
March 2017, Aaron and Jennifer.  In the photo they sent this looked great as a canvas print!
April 2017, Lee and wife.  It was great to do a different style.

June 2017, Eric and Molly.  Apparently he commissioned a few artists and picked the one he liked best (which wasn't mine but that's okay).
I have a few more, ArtCorgi and otherwise, but these will do for now!

I included ladies this month!  And with these, I'm caught up in my Figure Drawing Friday posts.

Exploration of a shot from the previous week
Inktober is starting in a few days so I'm not sure if there will be much time for my usual things, so look for more of these later in the fall.

Disney Un-Disneyed In Color VI (D)

A few more on this fine Thursday afternoon.  Sketches for these here.
This is one of my favorites of the whole series so far.

The broooooding.

I had some color issues with this one but it works.
Almost caught up!

It's Pronounced On-Ed-Ers (D)

Apparently yesterday was #nationalonehitwonder day (since apparently EVERY day is National SOMEthing Day) but anyway, it was a good excuse to take this old sketch idea I had, polish it up and throw some paint on it. Definitely my favorite one-hit Oneders.

I also decided to add Mr. White, marking the second time I've drawn Tom Hanks, in the last month and ever, because Faye always seemed a bit lonely down there.

Here's the original, circa 2012.
