Here’s something out of my sketchbook. It’s done in a more rugged style than I normally work in, but I’m pretty happy with how it came out.
Matthew Young
Here’s one of the first pieces of art completed for Dead Man’s Hand, by Center for Cartoon Studies student M. W. Young. It was a test page Matt did “to convince myself I could draw a halfway decent stetson hat.”
Colleen Frakes
Today’s sample comes courtesy of Colleen Frakes. A CCS graduate and creator of the amazing Tragic Relief series! Check out her work at www.CowboyOrange.com
Megan Baehr
Here is a sample pencil of Megan Baehr’s upcoming Western comic. I don’t want to give anything away, but the story involves one hell of a juicy legend.
