Check Out This Blog!

Despite a lifetime of trying very hard, I have never been able to draw. I have always been fascinated by people who did have that talent. I could be entertained for hours by a babysitter who would just sit there and draw pictures. This is probably why I am so into comics. For someone like me, who can't even draw a decent Superman logo, each and every panel in a comic book may as well have been constructed by magic. It seems just as impossible to me.

What I am saying, in a roundabout way, is that you should visit Derek Jessome's blog. He is a local artist and animator and he is insanely talented. And his love for comic books is huge. The blog is getting updated daily, which is good news for comic art groupies like me.

Captain America #33 in 30 Seconds

EDIT!! I just realized I forgot a whole panel! I've now added it.

This is for the Invincible Super Blog contest over at Chris Sims' place.

I think this should prove, beyond any doubt, that I am the worst drawer in the world.

I thought that since I didn't get to review last week's comics, I would draw up a little summary of Captain America #33, which was awesome.

Alright, here we go...



Meanwhile, in S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters...






Tony suits up and goes looking for Winter Soldier:





Differences are set aside...



THE END.

And this is why I gave up my dream of being a comic book artist long ago.
