Flesk Fundraiser Event to Support Stoke Out Santa Cruz!

100% of the proceeds from this series of Flesk auctions will benefit our local youth in need here in Santa Cruz, California. This money will provide shoes, sweatshirts, food, and hope to these kids who can use a helping hand. The amazing people at Santa Cruz Hope are making this happen and I'm proud to play a small part in the fundraising efforts. The Live Oak School District has asked for help for 300+ kids in the most need. More than half are families in transition (need housing).

This fundraiser is very personal to me. Life was challenging for me growing up and I can relate to these kids. It's my goal to raise as much funds as possible to get these kids Stoked! Please see our other auctions that are running. We have a whole series of books with drawings available by many of today's top artists.

Hero Initiative X-MEN 100 Project Cover Step by Step

Here's how I created the Storm drawing for the  Hero Initiative X-MEN 100 Project Cover.

Drawn on a Blank Hero Initiative X-MEN 100 Project Cover

Roughed in drawing with Col Erase Scarlet Red Pencil and then started adding value with Copic Warm Grey 1

This is about a 1 minute of drawing time - I sat and looked at it for a couple of minutes before deciding what I was going to do then - BOOM - drew!

After adding more greys to all flesh with Copic Warm Grey 1 and 2, "drew" in face and hair with Copic Multiliner .1 Pen

Continued 'drawing" in the rest of the figure with Copic Multiliner .1 Pen

Used Copic Warm Grey 3 and 4 to establish values and correct drawing

Used Pro White on Storm's hair to cover logo.
