Ink Drawings

[alex]

These are from a series of drawings I did for a school project on the history of Catwoman in current continuity, using my best friend, black.


I'd like to apologize to TimTwo-Face in advance for this....

Oooo, no need to apologize, that pic looks great! Who are the people in the bottom right, though? I recognize Batman, Two-Face, and a multitude of Kitties. I don't see what you need to apologize for...unless this is some horrendous in-joke I'm just not getting. :p By the way, what kind of inks are these? Did you use a brush or a pen?

"Goin' Crazy" is a good one, too. Harley looks good (I notice how you draw her with a little more broad face than usual, and it's all good), and your version of the Scarecrow is pretty kick-ass - the total old-school look. Question - who's the woman in the top centre with the tattered clothing?

The last one, I like the best, because the inking is the cleanest and crispest. It looks like something straight out of BTAS promo art - that's how pro it looks. Great stuff, man! :)

I think Cat's Beloved is my favourite simply for the sheer impact of the drawing but the other two are excellent too, the energy in Whip Dance really apparent and ScareCrow is genuinely spooky too. Nice to see new things from you Alex :)

I was appologizing for the swift back kick that Two-Face was recieving. For the inking, I use a pen for the initial outline of the characters, and fine details, and I use a brush for everything else.

Regarding "Goin' Crazy", the three women in the centre, the one in the catsuit, the one in the bustier, and the one in tatters, are all Catwoman. Scarecrow was really screwing with her toward the end, and under the influence of his drugs, among other things, she began to develop multiple personalities.
I got really sad toward the end. Catwoman #1 was my first comic, back in the third grade, and since then I was hooked on the character. It really hurt to see this woman whom I had grown up reading, and who was always so strong and on top of things, crumble.:( Thank God for the relaunch.
