It's so important for young artists to see early art from professionals. It helps people realize that if you keep drawing and working hard you will get better. Flashes of brilliance in both you guy's young art!
I'm so pumped for this! Recently I found a bunch of my grade eight sketch and notebooks. There was a picture I did of Angela, swiped from her mini series that I was impressed by compared to the other stuff in the sketch book. You could tell I was really "focused". I was especially concerned with getting her chest right as the paper was nearly worn away from erasing and redrawing to get it juuuuust right.
Love seeing these early works and figuring things out on the page. it's exciting to see the leaps and bounds of progress you make as you learn. Please do an episode 2 (or more).
Awesome video! Totally brings me back to trying to draw in high school. Taking the bus to a comic shop that sold blue line pro. My aunt cut the hair of a comic pro. And talked me into moving from Phoenix to Ny senior year 🤣 comics man… comics
I have been drawing and writing a character, on and off, for 30 years, I have a collection of drawings of her from that time. I love seeing my visual and written story-telling styles change within the focus upon a specific subject. Additionally, I was thinking today; about 90%, or more, of my drawings have been drawn on lined notebook paper, with a cheap pen. Please show more young art from RuggEd.
It’s fun to pull out the stuff you did as a kid. I lost a lot of my early artwork in a flood so I don’t have much left. I was into guitar playing so I was always drawing Jimmie Hendrix and SRV😂 Also fun to digitize your old stuff and play around with it a little with digital colors etc…..Thanks for sharing this stuff!
Very cool 😎 and inspiring,guys! Everyone has got to start somewhere! I had crappy art teachers in high school and a HC How to Draw the Marvel Way back in ‘78! Started and stopped so many damn times I lost count! ‘87 to the present I write and draw to vent stuff and when you’re self taught you can make the same mistakes over and over and over again but I love comics as in the creative process etc. I have always encouraged anyone to write/draw ,be creative! I appreciate your channel and contributions! Thanks ,guys! Keep reading and MAKING COMIX! 😎👍🎯👋🙏🤞
Speaking of "If X-Men had kids" in 1990 I had a character who had spikes like Darth Maul, but all black, no warrior face paint. He was red with "Black Adamantium" spikes from his heard (more 'metal"/torture looking - than the "horns" natural effect. He was gonna be Logan and Jean's son) - I called him "Bloodshot" (before I knew of the already existing non-Marvel character). He had no mouth but like a vertical "seam" from where his face went (you know "ninja style"). His eyes were pure black triangular slits (like those old 80s shades). Besides the spikes he communicated telepathically, since he could not speak. Anyways. That's my contribution to the "X-Men Kids" concept. Anybody else got any?

Going back like this makes me see how far I’ve come. I’m surprised how much I appreciate my old work even though it’s terrible.

21:26 is that Wilhelm II?
I agree with Ed, Grave city and the punisher knock off looks like a fun story. Maybe a one off 'intro' story.
I really love seeing this stuff. Great work guys
Those Blueline Pro pages, tho
