Artist Essay Series, JOHN ROMITA, JR.

I didn't always love comic books. I grew up with a knowledge of them by way of (mostly) television series, like BTAS, The Adventures of Batman and Superman, and Spider-Man. It wasn't until Marvel star...

I am done with the whole comic, but I wanted to throw y'all pictures of the (relatively) initial inks, so you can see more of the process! :D

Trans Comic - ALL PENCILS

Y'all, I am not gonna say too much about these right now, seeing as how I really want to get to inking, BUT, I...

Trans Comic - Prelim Pencils

Yaaaay, I am finally doing a comic about something trans! This isn't autobiography, or anything, but it is basically how I felt in many moments in my life leading up to my realization that I was trans...

THE DIFFICULTY OF TRANS COMICS

One thing I see discussed a lot lately in the comics circle is representation, and particularly with regard to trans people working in comics and creating trans characters, as well as the problems tha...

FAMILY MATTERS - Final Inks

Wow, this took some effing time. I never really know which route I am going to take when it come to texturizing backgrounds. Sometimes it's what I call the "volleyball technique," where three lines in...

FAMILY MATTERS - Initial Inks

This is what I have so far for this comic. As you can see, I added a bit here and there - mostly detail, but I also added the flowers in the silhouette panel (because it...didn't look good). I am very...

New Comic - FAMILY MATTERS - Pencils

Am sick as shit right now and I really wanted to work on a comic today, and so here is another one done in my sketchbook. Definitely will add a lot of texture during inking, but I am not so sure yet! ...

Sketchbook Babe and her Pupper - Final Inks

And here is the end! Added a bit of detail here and there to give it a little more depth, as well as giving the coat an actual interior. I am pretty happy with it!!

Girl with Dog - Initial Inks

Added a bit here and there before finishing up the pencils - figured out what shoes to give her, etc. Time to fill in this bad boy!

Girl with Dog - Unfinished Pencils

Drew this a few weeks ago, but never finished it cuz I thought it was "too plain." Whatever. I was going through some rough shit - but here it is, the drawing I am about to finish penciling and then i...

Steampunk Beekeeper - Final

Here is a drawing that my sister waited on for months and months and months.

Added lots of little detail from the previous one, notable on the gloves and pants, and filled in the rest. I am ov...

Steampunk Beekeeper - Initial Inks

Altered a few things here and there, but mostly just inked over the drawing. Had to figure out the best way for the net thing to cut through her clothes. Not sure I fully succeeded, but whatevs. We'll...

Steampunk Beekeeper - Pencils

So a long time ago, my sister commissioned me to draw a Steampunk Beekeeper, and so I drew this. Had to fix a couple of things, and never got around to inking it, but I am about to start.

Now ...

Boy sketch

Really just wanted to try to draw some musculature tonight, and so here is this beautiful boy stripping.

Country Woman - Final Inks

Added some detail here and there - one thing I thought about was that it was likely she was in the sun a lot, and the sun brings out freckles if you've got 'em, so I threw those on her, as well as min...

Country Woman - Pencils + Initial Inks

So I have a tendency to draw the same type of person over and over again, which can be fine, but can also miss...

Drawing - My Transition

This was a drawing I have already posted on many other social media sites, but I thought it good to post here, as well, as it kinda details a bit of who I am and how I got here (not in great detail, t...

Sketchbook Girl - pencils

Okay, so like, here is a girl I stared drawing last night because I really want to put together a book of kinda punk-looking badass girls wearing collars. Definitely think there are some changes I mig...

TOOLS

Sometimes people ask me what I use to draw, and I have mostly gotten this shit down to like a science.

I use a .7mm mechanical pencil (used to use .3mm, but I regrettably lost that one), and t...

New Comic: MY LESBIAN EXPERIENCE WITH VAMPIRISM - Final Inks!!

Here is the finished comic! Worked all day on this, and, while I am defs not 100% sure that there is any substance to be found here at all, I think it was a fun exercise! I dunno. Maybe I could do mor...

New Comic - Initial Inks (Now about vampires!!)

So like...yeah, I thought this comic was gonna be something to do with the beginnings of lesbian sex, but I guess it's actually about lesbian vampirism. I noticed that the mouth at the end of the stri...

New Comic - Here Comes the Girl Sex

Here are the pencils to this brief comic/exercise I am working on. It has been really tough getting to this point. I started with the circular "But like, what do you mean?" panel, which I liked a TON,...

Sketchbook Girl - Final Inks

And here she is!! Realized I didn't want her blonde considering it looked kinda bad after initial inks, so now she's like brunette or something. Added a thumb on the left hand, cuz three dangling fing...

Sketchbook Girl - Line Inks

This is my right before I go and add a bunch of black in certain spaces, and so it's much closer to a final version now. Still, I often have a tendency to notice things that I'd like to add throughout...

Sketchbook Girl Rough - Early Process

Kinda had the idea today at work, but it was gonna be some lesbian comic, and then I didn't draw a lesbian comic, because I drew this instead. Whatever.

Anyway, here is a girl in leather (EDIT:...
