The Weekly Comic Art Challenge 2012 – Week One “Shazam”
Last week I started the “Weekly Comic Art Challenge”. I put out a challenge to all my art friends out on the internet! Once a week I’ll name a theme, and all artists that want to participate can draw, ink, and/or color a piece about that theme. This week’s theme was “Shazam”. Here are the entries I received this week. With the artist’s name, the Title of the piece, and a link to their website.

I’ve been listing to the DC 52, a Graphic Audio Book for the past few weeks (when I’m on the bus or during my lunch). One of the main characters is Black Adam. I’ve really enjoyed the adventures with the Black Marvel Family. So I was inspired to pencil and ink this drawing of Black Adam.
For the pencils, I used a .05 HB mechanical pencil. (which can be seen in a previous blog post:Black Adam Pencils ). For this inking, I used a 102 nib pen and a #3 sable brush with black India ink. My standard inking tools. I have fun with this one. In the next few days, I plan on coloring it next. SHAZAM!

Here is the super cool sketch card of Captain Marvel by Chris Foreman. My girlfriend bought me this commission sketch card. Foreman created it on the spot.
It was really awesome to see him create this piece. He started with a quick sketch, then inked it, then colored it, added some shadows and highlights, then inked it again. I was totally blown away!
Thanks to my super cool girlfriend for this super awesome gift.
– SHAZAM!

Check out this illustration of Captain Marvel I got by comic book artist Jon Hughes. This fantastic piece is full color, marker, and ink on an 11″x14″ Bristol board. -SHAZAM!

Original Captain Marvel Drawing By Comic Book Artist Eric Merced
I’ve been very active on Twitter for the past few months. I’ve actually maxed out the number of people I can follow (which is 2001). I would say that about 80% of the people I follow are comic book artists, writers, and fellow fans. Well, a few weeks ago I saw a contest for an original drawing from comic book artist Eric Merced through his Twitter account @eric_merced. “1st and 5th to tweet a character for me to draw on live stream…” I tweeted my favorite character Captain Marvel and was the 1st to enter and win the contest!
The cool thing about the live stream was I got to see him draw it live. Eric Merced talked about why he liked the character of Captain Marvel while he sketched him out. It was really interesting to see the process he used when going from sketching to drawing and finally to inking. He also had a question/answer session with other people watching via a chat widget. The original drawing is 7″ x 5″ and he gave it to me, which was very awesome of him!
As a fun added pulse the mailer that the drawing came in had a cool drawing of Captain Marvel too. Thanks, Eric Merced for an awesome original drawing! Shazam!
