Drawing Dames – Deadlines!
Frank Cho: Spider-Woman battle. Click to view full image.
Yeesh. What a month it has been. I want to apologize for the irregular art postings these past several weeks. I’m under extreme deadline pressures currently (and all summer long) working on my top secret Marvel project. So, my art blog postings will be erratic at times.
So please bear with me if I disappear from my message board from time to time, and not interact with the fans. I’m not sick or anything, I’m just overloaded with work and trying to meet deadlines.

San Diego 2015 Sketch Covers
Frank Cho: sketch cover. Click to view larger image.
San Diego Comicon is just around the corner. Since I don’t have a new sketch book this year, I’ll be doing some sketch covers at the show. (Not too many since I want to enjoy the show.)
I will have several finished ones for sale at the show, and I will also, take a limited sketch cover commission requests. These sketch covers are $800 a pop. You must be at the show to pick them, I will not mail these out.
As you can see, no characters are off limit and most the sketch covers will be done as a single panel gag. If you’re the humorless type, I recommend that you just ignore this post and move on.
Okay, let the outrage begin… ;-)

Woodland Nymph – Oil Painting
Frank Cho: Woodland Nymph – Oil Painting – detail. Work in progress. Click to view.
All week, it’s been gray, miserable and rainy – prefect weather for me to mellow out and work on my oil paintings. So I set all my comic work aside and gave in to my oil painting urges.
For the last 2 days, I’ve been working on the almost life size painting of the giant woman in the woods oil painting. I’ve been picking at it on and off for several years now. To tell the truth, this painting has been bothering me since the beginning. Things were not clicking together no matter how much I try to force it. Her anatomy, her proportions, her pose, her tilt of the head- everything bothered me. So I decided to take a drastic step and abandon the painting, and start over by repainting the main figure. Essentially, redoing everything.
As you can see, I’ve roughly blocked in the face and upper torso, completely redrawing the woman’s pose and repositioning the tree. I’m just slinging paint at this point, blocking in shapes and colors.I haven’t gone beyond the waist point. (You can see the legs from the old image so things look a little disjointed right now, something I’ll fix in my next session.) I got to be honest, abandoning the old pose and forging ahead with the new pose have been a very liberating experience.
Art is like writing. If something doesn’t work, you have to throw it out and restart from scratch.
