For the past few years, I've been so busy creating graphic novels, that I've neglected my work portfolio. I wish the graphic novels paid all of my bills--they don't. In fact, most years, at least half (sometimes more) of my income comes from illustration only--not projects I've written. Book covers, interior art for chapter books, textbooks, products--you name it.
Unfortunately, my illustration work has been a bit dry lately, due in large part to my non-up-to-date portfolio.
So I'm creating some new pieces--custom pieces--for my portfolio. Here is step one of an illustration of a Yeti chasing a skiing kid.
These are two things I've never done an illustration of: a skier and a Yeti.
This is black Prismacolor pencil. I'm trying some new techniques--the next step will be some watercolor washes. That'll be up tomorrow.

Nice! These lines look great.
You're very smooth with your lines, Nathan. You definitely bring out the best in prismacolor pencils. I hope to see the finished product soon. I'll definitely be browsing your portfolio to see more awesome artworks like that. Kudos to you for the great job! More power! :)
