Description Here's a bunch of my Indiana Jones sketch cards. All done on blank 2.5" X 3.5" cards, with Pitt pens and Copic markers. A lot of fun! I wish I'd scanned these in the order I drew them; you can see how I started out crummy but got better with practice.

I couldn't imagine that two things that I love would get together: your artwork and Indy. Congrats! (hope when I get mine in Brazil)

I think i shall fave this series so i can have a look at it as I get indy nostalgic, and of course the art is as usual very impressive.
Thank you, for providing it.

I have a few editors and art directors who'd love to argue that with you...

All your Indy cards are great! Awesome job.

And I don't care what anyone says, I liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

i didnt want to comment on all the pics so i thought i would do it for this one but mean it for all the indy card pics, these are awesome adam. i have been a big fan of your work for a long time, just seeing these little cards make my brain tick!
they are so good they look like little photos that someone has drawn over with pens and markers! great job.
ps, my all time fave pic of yours is the powergirl cover where she's flying on her back with the jumbo crossing her path (it has everything to do with her massive norks )! makes me groan at how totally cool it is! keep it up.
ta!

Apologies if this has been asked already...But do you put the movies on and pause them for reference or can you just draw these from straight out of your head?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AdamHughes In reply to TonyBrescini [2009-02-16 18:32:39 +0000 UTC]

Some of them I drew straight out of my head; and some I did frame-grabs and printed them out for reference. Pausing the films would kill my monitor. Some of the reference comes from magazines and books as well.

She was actually a ton of fun to draw. I'd do more Spalko drawings in a heartbeat!

This might sound super crazy, but shes my #1 choice for Selina.
I know, I know, shes a little old, she might not be the prettiest, but I would love to see her in the role. One she can play any role she wants, two, she looks great when dolled up, three, looks great with dark hair, and fourth, Id love to see her in that costume

A huge Catwoman fan and my favorite artist agreeing on Cate Blanchett as Catwoman? YAY! My life is complete!

Whoa, Indy's got this crazy Mike Mignola look to his line work. The thought of Mignola doing Indy isn't entirely out of place either....

It really is something to be able to see something this rough from such an amazingly talented artist. It's clearly not your best work but still masterfully done.

Thanks for posting these my friend!

I like how real you are with your fans. You've got a great talent, you know it, but you don't let it go to your head. Bravo!

Do you intend on and could you please, post some pages from your sketch books. The ones posted on your website were truly inspiring and I was hoping we would be lucky enough to have you post a few news one up here on dA.

I see a Indy pattern there... Could you be Indy obsessed?
Seriously, though I love your cleaned work, there's something nervous and powerful about your "rougher" illustrations.
All these are amazing.

AdamHughes In reply to Angilram [2009-02-16 00:37:52 +0000 UTC]

It's not really an obsession if TOPPS hires you to do 100+ sketchcards.

Thanks for the kind words!

Angilram In reply to AdamHughes [2009-02-16 10:50:59 +0000 UTC]

Than the real question is: after 100+ cards drawn, do you get a rash whenever you see something Indiana Jones, or do you actually savor it more?

AdamHughes In reply to Angilram [2009-02-16 16:00:55 +0000 UTC]

Nah, i love Indy, especially RAIDERS. After 500 cards, I might get sick, but this was just enough to be fun.

Angilram In reply to AdamHughes [2009-02-16 18:58:09 +0000 UTC]

Well, first one is usually the best!
Yep, I can see how that could be an interesting challenge to come with 100+ different illustrations. Lucky you seem to work fast!
