Last item from the Comic Expo Fan appreciation event.  Chris Sprouse had no one at his table so I of course asked for a Doctor Strange sketch since I already had a Doctor Fate from him.  I watched him complete the piece and I was shocked at the level of pencil detail he put in, then inked it and erased all the pencil work.  His inks are fairly clean and simple but it’s unbelievable how much you don’t see when the pencils are gone.  If you ever get a sketch from Chris ask him to leave the pencil in!

At the Toronto Symposium I picked up a commission piece from Michael Cho.  I had emailed him last spring about it and he told me it would take awhile but I didn’t mind.  He’s a great artist and love his single colour work; in fact he was finishing up one at the show of Superman and Lois Lane that was stunning.

To the left is the finished piece: to the right are his pencils from the back of the piece: he lightboxes the pencils to do the ink and marker work.
