30/60/90 Iron Fist

This one was 90 minutes and it was a damn good 90 minutes as I had a lot of fun. I was happy to use the inks more freely for this.

30/60/90 Batwoman

Inspired to do this 60 minute sketch from JH Williams' rendition of Kane on Detective Comics. I always thought Batwoman was a cool character. Good to see DC will be exploring more of her now.
That said, I really am disappointed on how this turned out because it ended up like anything that I normally do. Couldn't experiment much so hopefully the next addition to 30-60-90 will be something different both in technique and concept.

30/60/90 Batman

I've been meaning to draw a Batman for a while now so I've started out with my 30/60/90 sketching with this. This one took more or less an hour. Decided to go for a loose style but I still think it turned out too "restricted" and that there is one ugly gargoyle. Well, it's a start so it'll have to make do.

30/60/90 Minute Sketching

Starting today I will be drawing and posting sketches that take 30- 90 minutes to draw. I'll begin with this Venom doodle I drew a short while ago (which actually took less than 30 minutes.. which is probably obvious).

Since I do this for a living I actually draw almost everyday, but most of the time I feel exhausted to draw something else for practice or just for the heck of it. So I thought this would be a good move to get rid of my procrastination, laziness and help me build my skills while I'm having fun.

My good friend Yildiray Cinar has always been an inspiration to me especially in his enthusiasm to draw at every available chance. He's been drawing and posting some amazing sketches recently which has acted as another reason for me to do this.

Realistically I don't think I will be able to draw something solid every day but hopefully I'll keep this up as long as I can and on a regular basis even if I give breaks once in a while.

War Machine Pages

A couple of pages from both War Machine #6 and #7. Even though I've done a very small amount of work for these books it was a very fun and challenging experience. I barely got to draw War Machine in his armour. Instead mostly I had to draw his childhood and a defining and gruesome experience in his younger days.

Although it may not look like it at first sight I've went for a looser penciling style for this which was a liberating choice as it was also very comfortable.

Upcoming Marvel & DC Work

My work will be appearing on books by both Marvel & DC later this year. Namely, Thunderbolts #136 which is a double sized special issue written by Rick Remender and Justice League Of America 80-Page Giant #1 with my section written by Rex Ogle.

CBR has featured news about the Thunderbolts book in two headlines today (where they call me Mahmud S. Asrar and Mahmoud). Check them out here -
