Sunday Sketch-a-thon the Third

As promised (well, threatened) last week, I did another Sunday Sketch-a-thon this week, soliciting requests for quick & dirty sketches on twitter late last night. Requests quickly came in, each wackier than the last. Here’s the six I did:

1. Everyday Rangers

Kim was the first to reply.

She quickly amended her request to something more mundane:

2013.04.28-sundaysketchathon-03-01b

So I amalgamated the two into one image…

Not the classiest inking job in the world, but (a)these first sketches are always warm-up and (b)I’m trying to learn how to effectively ink in a ligne-claire style with minimal stroke weight deviations.

2. Bubble Tea Party

I had done something similar during the first Sunday Sketch-a-thon years ago, so incorporated elements from that into this new image (the diver, drinking things from straws).

3. Sandman vs Llama Del Rey

As I said when I instagrammed a preview of this last night, if you ask me to draw Sandman, I will always draw Wesley Dodds. Very happy with how this turned out, seeing as I inked it exculsively with a fat black whiteboard marker that is on its last legs.

4. With Apologies to Manet

I’m going to hell for this, but why not.

5. The Hulk Whisperer
2013.04.28-sundaysketchathon-03-05
2013.04.28-sundaysketchathon03-05

One day I’ll be confident enough to draw this in a proper superhero comic style, and maybe even throw in Scarlett Johansson on a saddle for the extra in-joke. Still, for now this heavily cartoony style is something I like having in my repertoire.

6. Robocop Cheeseburger
2013.04.28-sundaysketchathon-03-06

Not a literal interpretation of the request, but I quite like it, even though I have the sneaking suspicion that the concept has been done before…

Be sure to check back next week for another Sunday Sketch-a-thon, and follow me on twitter @allVishal if you’d like to request a sketch!
