Vader’s Fist – The 501st Legion – Final Pencil Drawing

(originally posted on 05.21.2009 on my blog Comic Book Graphic Design)

Here it is….my drawing of Vader’s Fist, the 501st Legion. I had stated this drawing this picture a few weeks ago. I took a week off from drawing it and finished it this weekend. I had a lot of fun with this drawing. I usually draw comic book stuff, but I felt like changing it up. I’ve never really drawn a Stormtrooper from Star Wars before, so I decided to draw a bunch. I choose the 501 because they aren’t just any legion of Stromtroopers. They are the Elite in the Empire and Darth Vader’s personal legion........Continue reading More »

Caught on Video – Drawing Private Andrew Martinez for the Dark New World Zombie Comic Book

(originally posted on 06.17.2009 on my blog Comic Book Graphic Design)


This video shows me drawing a character sketch to one of the new characters in the Dark New World zombie comic book. His name is Private Andrew Martinez. A survivor of the zombie apocalypse. From my understanding the first story arch will be centered around him. Carlos sent me several photos of military uniforms to inspire me. I took those photos and tweaked the regular US desert uniform for this character design.........Continue reading More »

Here’s a pencil drawing I did of Thor the God of Thunder from Marvel Comics. It’s his new costume he’s been wearing since his return to his own monthly title.  Which by the way is a very excellent read. This drawing started off as me just sketching while watching a movie, but became more detailed.........Continue reading More »

Star Wars – Vader’s Fist – Beginning Drawing

(originally posted on 05.04.2009 on my blog Comic Book Graphic Design)

I’ve been working on a drawing of Vader’s Fist. Also known as the 501 Legion for the past few days. They are an elite legion of Clone Troopers and later Stormtroopers from Star Wars.  They became Darth Vader’s personal legion of Stormtroopers because they were the best around.

Today is Star Wars day, originating from “May the 4th be with you”.  So I’ve decided to upload a few images of my creative process on this drawing. The photos were taken as a way for me to see my progress from a blank page to the finished drawing. I will ink it using Adobe Illustrator.........Continue reading More »

(originally posted on 11.18.2009 on my blog Comic Book Graphic Design)

Here are my 2nd weeks original character designs I created for the 30 Characters in 30 Days challenge. With this weeks drawing I used a little different method. I started off doing a light gesture sketch with my H2 .05 mechanical pencil. I then went over my drawing with an HB .05 mechanical pencil.........Continue reading More »
