Like All Good Things, Another Sketchy Magee Comes to an End

I know you are all here to see the shit sketches that come out when no one is looking, but before that, I have a bit of business. As you may know, the Kickstarter for Northside Comic Artist's complete comic compendium "Northside Comics Volume 1" did not reach it's goal. sad face. However, the little money we make from conventions is going toward printing a small run for their fifth anthology "Memories". So the comic I drew for it, "Bound", will still have a home. happy face. Keep an eye on my Instagram, @Saturn2169 for more info about when to expect that. Hint: it should be sometime this fall. 

Now back to the reason why you are here! Actually, I have no idea why you are here. If you accidentally stumbled across this blog because you thought there were some boobs, don't leave yet! I promise there are some boobs. Just scroll down to see all the sketchyness that I've been up to for the past couple months. Enjoy!

Drew a couple of mermaids for MerMay this year.

Bang! Boobs right off the bat!

A lot of fan art. It's just so much fun to draw!

Kitty Pryde I drew for Terry at Third Coast Comics.

Sketchy Fiona and Marshall Lee.

Can't get enough of that Bubbline.

Not sure if there is a fun 'ship name for Blue Beetle and Booster Gold.

Bluebird sketch for a comission.

Another Bluebird sketch. She was fun to draw.

Drew some Seaman fanart for the Jackbox Games live stream.

Another one for Jackbox Games. It's for the best that you don't know the context.

 A few things from this sketchbook made it into No Pants 3!

A few things did not make it into No Pants 3.

A comic about the time John and I ate too much.

A comic about how I don't look good in joggers.

 As per usual, some embarrassing self portraits.

Couldn't decide whether to put this in the "mermaid" section or the "self portrait" section. I think I made the right choice.

Other miscellaneous sketchyness.

Some concept art for "Bound".

Drawing from a fun figure drawing session at Grotesque Burlesque.

Charles in charge!

Quick sketch of Zazie Beetz.

I've been having fun recently really trying to fill up my sketchbook pages. Here are some of my favorites.

Page of gestures from figure drawing.

I really like the look of drawings on top of drawings. I do this whenever I start drawing something I don't like. Instead of scratching it out or erasing it, I just draw on top of it.

More drawings on drawings.

Filling up the cracks.

Super secret concept art for a comic in a Halloween anthology.

Bonus sketchbook page! I finished up my sketchbook, but I'm still waiting for my new sketchbook to arrive in the mail, so I've been drawing in one of my side sketchbooks... sketchbook.

Have a good day!

Sketchy Magee Dump

Oh, hey. Haven't seen you in a while. Welcome back for another Sketchy Magee sketchbook sketch dump. I've been a bit busy this year... which is a good thing! Since graduating college it generally takes me a little over a year on average to fill up my regular sketchbooks. This one took a little over seven months. I still don't draw everyday, like I should, but I've been doing a lot better and feel like I've been getting a lot better. So below are some pictures I took from my sketchbook to show off some of the work I've been doing. Enjoy!

These are some character sketches from "Air Aunties" the short comic I illustrated for the Ladies Night Anthology "Sisters".

Here are a couple other sketches from various projects I worked on over the past year.

I spent a lot of time at the beach this summer, so there were quite a few beach sketches.

I've been a fan of r/RedditGetsDrawn for a while. Whenever I don't know what to draw or need to do some warm up sketches I generally turn to that subreddit. Below are some of those sketches. Some of which I posted, some I did not. These are all drawings of user submitted photos.

Doodled quite a few of my favorite characters.

And of course here are few other miscellaneous sketches that I enjoy.

Not sure what is going on here...

ughhh... You're gonna have to ask John about this.

C'mon now, you know I wasn't gonna leave you hanging without some embarrassing self portraits.

Me marveling at the magnificence of my boobs in this bridesmaid's dress.

And one of my favorites from the Rogers Park Wine Stroll.

Wow. Wasn't that great. We all had fun today. Wait, what's that? You wanna know how you can have a little piece of Andrea art. Well, you're in luck. I'm getting ready to send out this year's holiday card and you can have one for free! That's right, just private message me your address on Facebook and you will be added to the Zidek Family holiday card list. This is my ninth year designing holiday cards to send out to friends and family and now is as good of a time as ever to add your name to the list! 

What's that? You wanna know how you can get a hold of one of my comics. You're in luck with that as well, because I have BONUS NEWS!!!



B-B-B-BONUS!
This year I tabled at two conventions, got comics published in two anthologies and finished my second issue of No Pants Revolution "No Pants 2: The Revolution Continues". So how am I gonna ruin that perfect even number of two? I'm tabling at one more convention before the year is out. Say what? Come see me on December 16th at Pocket Con at the Chicago Cultural Center! I'll be selling copies of "Mito and Me", "No Pants Revolution" 1 and 2, as well as the Ladies Night Anthology "Sisters" and the Northside Comic Artists anthology "Misadventure" which feature comics drawn by me. I will also be selling stickers and original artwork. So if you're in the Chicago area, come check me out. This event is family friendly and will also feature goodie bags and events that are child friendly. Click on image for more information.
