I posted my colors for the Jimmy Cheung Supergirl pencils at a DC message board and one of the posters challenged me to color an old 1961 Curt Swan Supergirl drawing. Long story short, I accepted.

It was a lot tougher than I thought it would be, because the pencils the poster provided was pretty small. I doubled the size of the pencil and colored from there. It didn’t turned out as good as I hoped it would. Oh, well. I’m still learning.

I changed the skirt color to red, I thought it would look better for this drawing.

I was browsing “Supergirl Comic Box Commentary” and saw another beautiful commissioned drawing for the webmaster of the blog. Supergirl looks amazing like usual. Jimmy Cheung did a great job on it! Again, it was just pencils like the one from Billy Tan. I decided to do my magic and do colors for this one myself too. I think I did a better job with this new one, since I have more experience. Let me know what you guys think.

It’s been a long time since the last update, but I’m still here

I’m am really struggling with this thing call drawing. I have a little talent for it, but I have neglected it all my life. The only times I drew was when I was in art class in school and I was usually the best artist in the class. I never thought I wanted to write my own comic until now and I’m suffering because of it.

I’ve been getting “How to draw” books from the library and trying to learn from it. Nothing seems to help improve my skills. I wanted to launch my comic on March 15th (Important anniversary), but I’m still in the conceptual stage right now.

Any ways, I’m getting low on funds and will have to abandon my dream of working for myself the rest of my life, for now at least. I’ll apply for a job later today. Where, I don’t know. But with the economy the way it is, I need some luck.

I just want to say one last thing before I go, THE COMIC WILL BE DONE!

I was the reading “Supergirl Comic Box Commentary” blog and saw this beautiful drawing of Supergirl by Billy Tan. He was commissioned by the blog author to do it. I am shocked that he struggle to draw her. I think it came out beautifully. His version is as good as Michael Turner (R.I.P.), his interpretation of Supergirl is my favorite by far.

The only thing I didn’t like about the drawing was that it was just penciling. So, I decided to colorized it myself. Keep in mind that I only have a mouse and not a graphics tablet. I think it turned out decently. This is actually my first time colorizing a sketch on the computer thoroughly.

Here it is the originally drawing.

Here’s my edited version.

Update.

The more familiar I’m getting with GIMP, the more I expect from myself. So here’s the latest one I’ve done.
