Really digging your pencil work

Thanx.. I try

Recently I started to listen to the podcasts from Blue line SketchMagazine podcast (link ) with Bill NIchols.
He's making his own comic. With this character named Ursula. Learn more here.

This is my version of his character;

Amazing skills, amazing lines.. what do you do for a living man? Tell me you live off of this!

On another note.. I would love to see something other that comic-like characters from you.. not that I don't like them, but just to see something different.. I dont know...

I'm probably the poorest guy you'll met instead of an homeless man. No I cant make an living doing this...
Also because everyone wants you (me in this case) to do it for free... (How nuts is that).
Its whats wrong with this occupation. And very frustrating... Hopefully it turns around in the future

But you're right about the comic figures... I'm doing the daily sketches just for fun.. and I take suggestions from other people and most of the time it will be comic figures

I've been watching the whole star wars series while working. (I'm working while playing the movies on my screen...
Trust me it works ) Today was the last one (The Return of the Jedi), so I decided to draw a Jedi knight.
Not an existing character, but just one of my own

The FORK will be with you

Today's daily sketch is an suggestion by Roeland Voet. He wanted me to draw Vampirella.
Which I know absolutely nothing about... I only sketch her once at FACTS convention in Gent.
Don't even know what her story is, only that she's running around in a very VERY small bathing suit and has an urge for blood (At least I think).

Well here is my attempt at Vampirella;

[RalfvdH]

Got to work on so many things Its all a bit wonky... but o well... thats why its an daily sketch

Today I've started posting my daily sketches on Geekstijl.nl which is for dutch people. I'm honored to be posting there

Now there are also other country's who watch my daily sketch. (Which I'm off course grateful for)So The english I'll be doing at my blog.

Today's daily sketch came from an suggestion made by Eelco Koper. Creator of the dutch comic PowerBeast. And thats the thing he asked.

Here's Powerbeast;

Today's daily sketch came from an suggestion from Jordy te Braak. He asked for an Hulk vs. The Juggernaut sketch... So I did.. Turned out to be a bit rushed at the end. Like the most now know, my daily sketches are also been posted at Geekstijl.nl. But for that I have to finish it and send it to them before I go away to my dayjob... So its a bit rushed...

Well here's Hulk and Juggy. When I got the suggestion the first thing that came in my mind was the line the juggernaut said in X-men 3.
It came out like this;

Juggernaut: “Don’t you know who I am? I’m….”

Hulk: “Roadkill…!” ‘SLAM!!”

So I draw that moment before the "SLAM!"

Hey amazing work there

Just something I noticed, don't know if it was on purpose or not, but check out the drawings of characters from wich you had direct reference and then check out the Jedi you draw from imagination..., isn't he a little bit dull? Specially his pose.., I bet you can do better than that.. could it be that you're slacking out on us?

Joking aside, maybe when you're drawing from imagination you're not working hard enough on the pose..., maybe I'm wrong but it's just something I noticed...

Keep it coming, I love coming in here!

[RalfvdH]

See my blog for recent daily sketches....

Haven't post my daily sketches on forums from some time.
But for today I posted one
Its an suggestion made once again by Sybrand K.
He asked for an sketch of The Phantom... Never drawn that character before... SO I Hope I did him justice..

I've done something for myself today... Recently I've became addicted to Star Wars The Clone Wars. So I've drawn Ahsoka Tano...

Actually the sketch is part of a bigger drawing. Consider it an little teaser...

Also I want to try out an star wars comic. Anyone suggestion for an great star wars story? I was thinking about star wars; Legacy.
