Lightbox Prismacolor Sketches

I had a nightmare I was hired to be a monthly artist for The Flash, but of course I couldn't really draw. So I'm taking this year to teach myself that skill-- do drawings that communicate and hold up to actual professional drawers. Now, I've been trying to c ome up with a style that is related to the art aesthetic I use in my photography and music, which is pretty sparse and a bit unearthly. Markers are my current favorite way to render a drawing, with these 2 sketches being suitably minimalist. I am really holding on dearly to the late Alex Toth's creedo that you only use the bare minimum of lines to illustrate something.The last image was the first of my portrait photos I converted into a drawing. At the time I thought it looked cool but now (a month later) it seems quite over-rendered to me, though I thought It was worth posting anyways.
