Calvin & Hobbes, colored

I think out of my recent drawings, I think this might be one of my favorite drawings...probably because Calvin & Hobbes was such a big part of my childhood.  I would love to do my own strip/comic based on it, but copyright stuff pretty much persuades me not to.  Anyways, the final image differs somewhat from the sketch in that I decided to flesh out the background a little bit, which had me delving into some unfamiliar territory with "speed painting".  And I learned that I suck at it, and I'm the slowest speed painter probably ever.  It all came together at the end though, which I guess is the most important part.

And as always, if you're interested in purchasing this particular print, you can find it under my Commissions & Prints link at the top of this blog.

Calvin & Hobbes sketch

When I was younger, the highlight of my Sunday morning was picking up the newspaper and reading the comics.  That's all I cared about then.  Peanuts, Family Circus, and a little later on, Dilbert.  Those were the days.  But the comic that I loved most was Calvin & Hobbes.  So I thought, hey, why not....let's envision him how I would if I could do it today...and this is what came out.

And as per the course, I'll be updating here as this comes along.
