The Comic Book Project #5

Guys, I have a confession to make. I really do not like the comic page I made in the last post. I adjusted some things several times to see if I could learn to like it, but as it turns out, the thing I don't like is the art itself. It didn't seem very comic book-y. SO, over the weekend, I've started studying Bruce Timm and his art style. I pretty much idolize him and his work, so I wanted to incorporate some of his work into my style. It's safe to say, I'm not Bruce Timm. BUT, I am pretty happy with how the pictures turned out. AND, I think I'm going to draw my comic in this style :3 (And just so you know, if you have a problem with the way my art looks, look up some of his art. You'll see I'm just taking from how he draws. I don't normally draw girls this out of proportion)







I drew and inked them on marker paper, and then I scanned them into my sketchbook app. From there, I colored them (except for Catwoman, I haven't gotten around to it yet) Basically, I drew Harley, Ivy, and Catwoman, and also a few more not pictured. After I got a hang of the style, I was challenged by my friend to draw Melanie Martinez, and so I did :) I'm not EXTREMELY happy with how she looks, but I'm content. I also did a mini session of drawing cartoon hands at my school because I figured I needed the practice. Hands are more difficult than you think! Anyways, thx for checking out my blog! See ya! 

XOXO,

Comic Book Project #3

{This link is for people who wanna see my comic in progress :3}

HEY GUYS! I've missed writing on here! (It's only been a week, but ya know...)
I've done soooooo much since then! I've finalized my storyline, and started a sketch of the comic. I started digitally inking and coloring the first page as an example, and then I'll start the real work! I can't wait! I've also put a little twist on it. Harleen Quinzel is going to have brown hair and hazel-ish eyes until she becomes Harley Quinn, where she'll fall into a vat of acid and permanently bleach her hair, skin, and eyes. (Wow, um, that sounds a little dark, but I honestly don't care at this point...) Are y'all excited for the long weekend? Comment down below if you are! 'Till next time!

Quick Update

Hi there guys! I've had some friends read my blog, and they've asked me (in person) why I have chosen to use an alias such as "Harley". This is mainly for internet safety. It's not like that's my actual name, but it works for the theme of my blog in general. Thanks guys! 😊
XOXO,

The Comic Book Project #2




Holy waste of energy Batman! I've spent WAY too much time coming up with a script/story idea for my Batman: Gotham's Finest Comic Book Debut! And get this! This isn't even a Batman story anymore! That's right! I turned it into a Harley Quinn origin story with my own VERY unique twist on things. But for the whole story, you'll have to wait πŸ˜‰... I am so excited to move on to character design! (Which is my next step) ALSO, (just a random question) PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU HAVE SEEN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SHOWS:

-Gotham
-Stranger Things
-The Flash
-Supergirl
-DC's Legends of Tomorrow
-The Arrow

The reason I want to know is because I REALLY enjoy these shows, and it seems like none of my friends know what I'm talking about.  I just recently started Season 2 of Gotham, and I must say, I LOVE how dark this show is! It's amazing, and I'm especially proud of what they did with Oswald (The Penguin) He seriously might be my favorite person in the entire DC TV  Universe! [Although, Fish Mooney is right up there! You go girl!] My only complaint is that it sounds like they won't be adding Harley to the show 😭... So guys, make sure to stay tuned for more, because I PROMISE it'll get interesting!

The Comic Book Project #1 (The 20% Project)

 
    Hey Guys πŸ‘‹! I'm starting up a pretty big project, and I thought I'd blog about as I go :D! I'm creating a comic book series called Batman: Gotham's Finest, and I'm going to be blogging about my experience as I create the first one. No promises, but I might decide to continue blogging about this after I'm done with the first issue.
   
        I know a lot about comic books, including some famous comic artists, some early character development, and some secret origin stories. I'm going to be transferring some of that knowledge over to my art as I do this. I might come across a few bumps along the road, like catching artist or writer's block, but I hope that this will end up being a success! I'm going to be using some skills I already have, but I'm also fully prepared to learn some new things along the way! (Like how to stick with ONE idea, lol) I've got a TON of different things to do for this project! I'm so EXCITED!
SO, I would expect weekly posts from this page for awhile πŸ‘!

πŸ’•Can't wait πŸ’•!

Favorite Shelf

      BIG news guys! I'm changing my room soon! I'm painting a Batman mural on my wall, and replacing all my white furniture with black! The rest of my room will be painted white. I'm SUPER excited! Anyways, here's a picture for your enjoyment :3 It is my current layout of just one of my shelves. I've got some other stuff not pictured here as well, but this is my favorite shelf right now! It's got just a few of my favorite POP! figures, including one of my first! (It's either the S.S. Joker, Arkham Knight Harley, or Kylo-Ren [who is not pictured here]) In the front, (for those who don't know what it is) is my custom-built Batcave. It's made purely from old legos my mom had in a bin. I think they were supposed to be used for a Robin Hood Treehouse Set, but I made this beautiful monstrosity instead :D! I've got a couple batsuits in the back you can't see because of the characters, and then in front of them are Bruce, Dick, Alfred, and Barbara (in her lil wheelchair) It's kinda stupid when I look at it now, but I can't bring myself to take it apart, because I made it when I was sick, and I'm too attached :P! I think my favorite thing on this shelf is my Harley Quinn POP! or my Poison Ivy POP! from The Animated Series. What's your favorite one? Till my next post, au revoir!
