The Daily Comic Sketch Challenge

Comic Book, DC Comics, Daily Comic Sketch, Marvel, Pencils, Pin-Up, Sketch 10.05.2009

I’ve decided to give myself a daily exercise to help in my drawing skills. I call it The Daily Comic Sketch Challenge. This next week I will be doing a quick drawing for only 30 minutes. These drawing will be of random comic book characters. Not only will I get to draw some different characters, but it will help in sharpening my drawing skills.

Last week I asked for suggestion through my Twitter and DevaintArt accounts on who I should draw. I received a lot of great ideas. Here is a list of which characters I will be drawing this 1st week.

1. Monday: Manhunter IV (Marc Shaw)

2. Tuesday: The Maxx

3. Wednesday: Enchantress (Marvel)

4. Thursday: Modok

5. Friday: Dee-Dee twins (Batman Beyond)

I’ll be posting the new Drawing every day. If you have any suggestion on who I should draw next, please let me know. – SHAZAM!

My name's Ralph Contreras, I'm a graphic designer and proud comic book nerd living in Santa Fe, NM with aspirations of becoming a professional comic book artist.

On one random weekend during the summer of 1984 my aunt gave me a stack of comic books. She was doing some spring cleaning and luckily for me she thought I would like them. A new world of of great stories with amazing art took my imagination. From that day on comic books have been a part of my life in one way or another.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts, I owned/ran a comic book store for 5 years. I am currently in the process of creating my own independent comic company and penciling an ongoing comic book. I'm always interest in making new friends and contacts.

Hello, If you would like to work with me please go to my contact section and leave me a request.
