Description
Here's a drawing I did for a comic festival I'm attending in Belgium on November. I took it as an opportunity to do more practice on getting my Barry Allen right. I'm still drawing him too young though and has more of a Wally vibe since he's who I've been drawing all my life. Hope to get it right by the time I start the book. In the meanwhile hope you guys enjoy watching my journey to getting it right.Related content

Do you have any tips on coming up with dynamic posing? Your art is fantastic and has so much movement in it!

Incredible! Your art is the reason I started picking up Adventure Comics. I fought picking it up for $3.99 even though I love Geoff Johns writing, but in the end, I couldn't resist the brush work you fill the pages with. I'm just going to have to find some way to afford a monthly Flash when it comes out too!

Marvelous art ...I'd like to see you draw the Origanl flash- Jay Garrick- the guy with the winged hat and boots- the 1940s Flash...

I'm glad you're trying for a distinction in your drawing between Barry and Wally, kudos to you for that

You are clearly the expert, but I feel like giving Barry a more square jaw might make him look older. Just a thought.

Very nice man! What might help get a Barry vide could be, Barry always ran a little more stiff, His back was never arched as much, while Wally always ran like an olympic runner (like the picture above) what might help make him look a little older is buff him up only slightly. I feel like an ass giving advice to a pro like you since you know much much more about drawing then I, but I figured I'd just give my two cents. Cant wait till you start on Flash!

Coolness! Your flash is going to be epic when you work out the so-called bugs! (which I don't really see myself!)

Nobody has made a joke about red-shifting yet? Sad story.

Great drawing. I feel cheeky giving a pro advice but I would fatten the jaw a little if I wanted to make him look more Barry like. They all had the thick hero jaw in the old comic days. That's how I think of Barry (jaw still looks good though).

The wind effect on the bystanders in the background is what just makes this drawing work!! I can't wait to see what you do in the monthly!

i use a pentel brush pen for the inks and usually a 3 or 4 brush for the water colors.
