I got a lot of drawing done during the slow periods at Youmacon!

Here’s a drawing of Hue Spectrum with colored pencils and sharpie on brown card stock. When I first started drawing and writing The Hues back in 1998, I did all my artwork with markers and colored pencils. 14 years and an art degree in digital media later, I feel like I’ve come full circle in drawing these characters again in their new forms with these pencils. (I seriously still have every colored pencil I’ve owned since junior high in a giant pencil box. It is awesome.)

I’m not 100% settled on what role the Hues’ uniforms will take on in the 2013 version, but I drew the girls in them anyway, just for fun. :)

Pressure sensitivity restored! Huzzah!  And this is officially the very first, completely finished piece of Hues concept art.

I haven’t done a piece in my signature style in a VERY long time.  It feels good!  I’m not even at the place where I can decide what style I’m going to be using for the comic pages, but I may just throw caution to the wind again and do everything in this style like I did with Garanos.  If you haven’t read Garanos, you should follow this finely crafted link and read my epic fantasy comic: http://www.garanos.com

LINES ARE FOR CHUMPS, HMMPH!

A picture of Sami I drew on Friday while I was out working at the coffee shop!  I’m going to work on a colored version tonight while I think up ideas for tomorrow’s Alex’s Guide.

I based the pose off this stock image by SenshiStock.  I find it useful to just browse through her gallery and find something to inspire a drawing.
