Monday Warmups
Originally uploaded by Gelatomettista2. Been working on so many different projects recently that I decided to spend 30 mins to an hour a day drawing random characters for fun to warm up for the day. Even when I miss a day of drawing while flying or traveling or being in meetings, I often find myself out of shape so to speak drawing wise.
Nothing more frustrating than not being able to throw down the line you want, the line you see in your mind's eye. This is a quick sketch of Supergirl. I wanted more of an awkward, almost high fashion model look for her face complete with big ears, bony nose and overbite but she lost a bit of the innocence I had in the original quick pencils when I inked it.
Happens.

Still gorgeous, though, Jim. :] I've been wonderin' how you'd interpret the new Kara. Thanks!
I've also alotted myself one quick and dirty drawin' a day of random characters just to get a bit more familiar w/ 'em. Last few were Mr. Terrific, the new Blue Beetle, and the new Firestorm redesign.
Peace...
Jim,
Feel free to post those 30 min. sketches daily. Seeing a new Jim sketch(a Jibber) on the post just gives a day a little extra dazzle. THANKS.
Awesome pic. I really like the wavey hair you drew her with.
Tom,
I never said I drew these guilt free = D...in fact, I am sure editors who I owe work to are checking these sites out wondering what am I doing!
Best,
Jim
LOL! But they're "warm-up" sketches. Those should be okay, right? Wouldn't wanna pull a muscle when you do the work you owe, would ya?
You are Superman. Would love to have that super-power of sleepin' @ will.
Peace...
I was pretty excited yesterday to ready this post. I felt just that much better to know that even people like the renown Jim Lee still take the time to practice daily and still struggle with something that I do ... "Nothing more frustrating than not being able to throw down the line you want, the line you see in your mind's eye." ... so very true. At times, I have forced myself to finish a whole piece and then re-do it, just because I know it is not exactly what I was seeing in my mind.
Great piece too, by the way.
amazin once again. great job.
