Flaming ArtistHere are two versions of the same subject, drawn 6 years apart, the Prismacolor pencil version in 1980, and the brush-and-ink version in 1986. In the first version I hadn’t yet graduated from art college; in the second, I’d been a working professional animation storyboard artist for three years. I spent quite a bit more time on the color drawing, but had much more drawing chops for the second. They both have their relative plusses and minuses.
This is another drawing from the erotic sketchbook I kept in the mid-80’s, drawn with Prismacolor pencils on randomly tinted sheets of sketchbook paper.
This is from an erotic sketchbook I kept in the mid-80’s. The pages of the sketchbook were various colors which I used as a gray tone in some of the drawing and not in other. I drew this with two different nib-sizes of technical pen. At the time I was somewhat influenced by Robert Crumb.
This drawing falls into the “minimal simplicity” category, in that I was trying to make my point with as little detail as possible. It looks a great deal like yesterday’s drawing, was done with the same tools (light pencil, Tombo brush pens) on February 11 2017. I think it achieves slight greater simplicity than the drawing posted yesterday of the same subject.

It was first executed in 2002.
This is yet another drawing of the Hulk, this time executed in Photoshop.
This is a Prismacolor Pencil sketch of the Hulk’s boner. I used black and dark gray Tombo Brush pens to sharpen it up.
This is a Prismacolor Pencil sketch of my ex-lover Enrique, done from memory. I also used a medium gray Tombo Brush Pen for laying in the shadow areas, and judicious use of a Presto! Jumbo Correction Pen for the white areas. I was trying for a painterly effect; in such cases it’s useful to use paint. However, here, I didn’t want pure white (for the most part), so would draw back over it with Prismacolor.

This is my depiction of the attempted rape of Bruce Banner in an NYC YWCA. The original story appeared in The Rampaging Hulk #23, published 1980. The story was written by Jim Shooter and illustrated without my inspiration by John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala. I read it at the time of its initial publication and wished it had been mine to draw; I’d have shown them how to do it right. Now, 47 years later, I’m taking a stab at it.
