Process posts
The process post is a staple for any artist with a blog. Here are some recent ones that caught my eye:
Paul Duffield walks us through his coloring process for Freak Angels as he prepares to hand those chores off to Kate Brown.
Sean Phillips gives a sneak peak at upcoming issues of Incognito from thumbnail to finish.
Paolo Rivera has plenty of informative posts- color studies, sketches and studies, step by step, tips and technique, tools of the trade, and, of course, wacky reference.

Dan Hipp
I neglected to mention Dan Hipp in the 500th post- he's also responsible for getting me to pick up Gen 13 for the first time in a decade...

We're A Sloppy Illustration
To some extent I've always dug Rob Zombie's artwork, but this Ramones illustration has always bothered me. For one, the likenesses are pretty damn terrible. Recognizable as Ramones, but still terrible. Not sure if that was intentional...Anyway, what bothers me even more is this: Why does the Joey cretin have his left shoulder growing out of his head?
I understand that he was trying to capture Joey's trademark slouch, and I see the obvious ode to Rat Fink, but even for fantastical, exaggerated anatomy this is bad.His neck would not be showing in a slouch!
His arm would not be growing outta the side of his head!
And his hair would not be wrapped under his arm like that!
I wonder if all this was something done after the fact, in an attempt to capture the pose without re-drawing it?
I just did a quick cover-up for my own sanity:
Still awful. But then again the CD itself is awful, too. U2 and Pearl Jam? Sacrilege.
