Inktober2018. #16 The prompt was 'angular'. I love Robert McGinnis's work and I always think of it as 'angular'. His women are always long and dangerous and the men brooding and tough. His covers tell a story I want hear. This is my brush and ink interpretation his cover for Kil Now, Pay Later. #inktober #inktober2018 #ink #brushandink #art #artistsoninstagram#artist #instaart #instartist #artlife #robertmcginnis #paperbackart #killnowpaylater #shawnvanbriesen (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo_pDd1BLis/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cv7a8kel99w5

This is an exercise I do regularly. It’s actually something C.C. Beck suggested that I try when I was teenager. He said I should redraw something by an artist I revere as a way to see how they solve problems in their work.  Damned if he wasn’t right about it being a valuable learning technique. This was based on a  paperback cover by one of my favorite artists: Robert McGinnis. I did this 11 x 17 on Bristol board, I inked it with a Raphael Martre Kolinksy 8404 #2 brush. #lemingtonhotelcomiccon #robertmcginnis #ccbeck #instaartist #recreation #pulpart #drawing #artprocess #paperbackart #homage   #shazam #dames #oldhollywood #vintage #noir #art🎨 #instaartoftheday #kissmedeadly #femmefatale #shawnvanbriesen (at West Los Angeles)

Another paperback cover. Easy to remember the title when you paint it as part of the illustration. My father in law posed as the genie guy. #paperbackart #paperbackcover #assasin #crossbow #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_QRjPFQvX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ihcvh8bhgnsr

Also in the aforementioned trove of old illustrations I found in my attic were some old humor/sci fi covers I used to do. I forget the title of this one, but it was about a galactic news team. The author was Kyle Crocco. #scifi #sciencefiction #paperbackart #wedding #newsreporter https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu3q72ul3sC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c5gtc0c71pbs
