For the life of me I cannot make a Jack Kirby homage sketch without doing a poor imitation of his technique. The unbridled energy is infectious in the most refreshing way. I almost didn’t do the WakeUpAndDraw challenge today, thinking I had just too much on my plate, but then I realized that the graphic novel I’ve been working on borrows steals some of his visual language directly, I realized it would be unconscionable to not do something.
Below are some of my previous imitations, shameful as they are…
Thor
Loki Meddles, Thor Rages
Here’s another late sketch for the Periscope Sketch challenge. See the others here: Periscope Tumblr . I haven’t seen the movie yet, but everything I’ve heard points to a good time at the theater.
Below are the grey wash drawings sans color. 11″x17″ on bristol.
