I wonder if anyone can guess who these are supposed to be? (They’re both the same person.)
(Hint: She’s a famous actress from way back when…)
I think the first one (which is the second one I drew) looks more like her, although half the time I don’t think there’s one iota of resemblance… Oh well, they were ridiculously fun to draw even if they’re not completely successful caricatures. 
I was digging through my old comics, and I realized I’d never posted this. I had a good chuckle and figured it deserved better than a crumpled fate in the middle of some old portfolio.
While I was at it, I fixed up the “Nancee” comic, since I didn’t think it was particularly effective before. Plus, now it has three rocks*, which just adds something sublime to the whole affair. Click for bigger:
If anyone is anxiously awaiting that ink review I promised, you’ll have to wait a little longer. Actually writing the review up is more time consuming than I anticipated. But it’ll get up here eventually…

*The three rocks:
To quote Scott McCloud:
“Nancy is Plato’s playground. Ernie Bushmiller didn’t draw A tree, A house, A car. Oh, no. Ernie Bushmiller drew THE tree, THE house, THE car. Much has been made of the “three rocks.” Art Spiegelman explains how a drawing of three rocks in a background scene was Ernie’s way of showing us there were some rocks in the background. It was always three. Why? Because two rocks wouldn’t be “some rocks.” Two rocks would be a pair of rocks. And four rocks was unacceptable because four rocks would indicate “some rocks” BUT IT WOULD BE ONE ROCK MORE THAN WAS NECESSARY TO CONVEY THE IDEA OF “SOME ROCKS.”
Today’s sketch is a lady lounging around in her underoos…
I’m quite fond of the face for whatever reason:
The full picture has some nudity (:oops:) so click to enlarge:
There’s a thing going on where her hips are turned to face a different direction than her shoulders, I’m not sure if I pulled it off or if she just looks like some weird snake woman or something…
This week is an inking week for me on my graphic novel and I’m going to be trying out a bunch of different inks, in the hopes of finding a cheaper replacement for my current ink. Look for a round-up of what I thought of all of them next week. (I know, EXCITING!) I’ll be testing the inks on my comic pages (since I don’t really have time to test them out on anything else…) so I’ll probably be posting a couple panels/pages from the book too. 
Well, so much for my grand plan to be able to sketch for fun at the end of the day every day… That didn’t happen at all this week… I did finish pencilling the 100th page of my graphic novel though, so that feels pretty good.
This week’s sketch is based on a photo of Diana Rigg, as Emma Peel, the coolest lady spy ever. I didn’t really capture a likeness though… I tried inking this sketch on the computer… the results were pretty terrible.
