Oscar Reflections

That I desperately want the TV show Entourage to come back. I realize that didn't have a whole lot to do with the Oscars themselves - but as I was watching Will Ferrel and Jack Black be awesome as usual, I wondered if I had missed an appearance from the Entourage crew, since they tend to show up at these award show things.

Anyway - I took a momentary break from drawing comics to try something else I enjoy, drawing celebrities. Here's my attempt at Adrian Grenier from Entourage. Basically I just Google image searched him, saved the picture, and "traced" it in Photoshop with the ol' Wacom.




Not an exact replica, I admit. I thought the hair turned out pretty well though. And I did it in about 5 minutes. Which I, personally, was impressed by. Fast sketchin! I could be a street artist if this whole computer animation thing doesn't pan out.

If you haven't watched Entourage - I highly recommend it. Seasons 1 and 2 are out on DVD, and season 4 starts April 8th. If you're low on funds, there are other methods of getting into the show, which this blog does not condone. Seriously.

Plagiarism is Fun

I've recently rediscovered my love of comic books, in no small part due to the TV show Heroes. I've heard some people call that show the new Lost (although I'm still absolutely on the Lost bandwagon), and I've heard other people claim it has already jumped the shark.

Regardless, I watched all the episodes online, then pretty much went straight to the nearest comic book store and picked up some Spidey comics. Then I decided to sketch some of the pictures directly out of there and show everybody how well I can draw... things that other people already drew... better than I did.

Anyway, here's some Cyclops and Spider-Man goodness.

I apologize for the half naked dude in this post. My bad.

That's Colossus in the background of the Spidey image. I always love how Spider-Man's cloth eye holes can change size to express his emotions. I wish they would have figured out how to do that in the movies. Apparently here, Spider-Man is confused. Or he's got some dust in his right eye.

In the hopes of not completely alienating the few readers I have by turning this into a blog about Spider-Man, if anybody has a request for a sketch of something or whatever, throw a comment my way. It'll be good practice.
