I’ve finally found some time to finish this sketch cover. This is graphite.

6”x9” prints of “He Has Risen” arrived today. I’ll be sending 450 of them to @texasfrightmareweekend soon to be included in this year’s VIP bags. #hehasrisen #lovecraftianhorror #cthulhu #texasfrightmareweekend #robertelrodart #robertelrodllc #artprint (at Parker, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CodDUTEvqOi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sketch cover in progress. Worked on this for a bit this afternoon. Getting some more flexibility in my hand but it’s still pretty painful. The initial drawing was started with a harder 2H. I moved to an HB today to get some darker values. I’ll be working back into Batman to create some additional contrast. #batman #sketchcover #dccomics #comicbooksketchcover #fantasyart #metal #darknightsmetal #robertelrodart #robertelrod #robertelrodllc (at Parker, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0Yi8-MaEy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just finished this sketch cover for the comic shop @fourcolorfantasies in Winchester, VA for their charity auction in March. I used ink, Copic markers and a little watercolor & a Frank Frazetta painting for inspiration. #valiantcomics #frazettagirls #comicbooksketchcover (at Parker, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQEe7nPFkU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Currently on the drawing board. This is for a Kickstarter backer that repeatedly hasn’t responded to my attempts to choose a scene from their chosen story. Therefore, it’s a “dealer’s choice” situation and I’m depicting Alice falling down the rabbit hole. I’m about 5-1/2 hours into this. Lots of work still to do. I’m having fun with this. I’m down to 3 drawings for the kickstarter after this one. Yay!!! #illustratingtheclassics #aliceinwonderland #kickstarter #robertelrodart #robertelrod #robertelrodllc #graphitedrawing #illustration #lewiscarroll #rabbithole #downtherabbithole #downinahole (at Parker, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl4qMV8vwXd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I started another Kickstarter backer drawing today. I’d intended to start it Monday but I got a flu shot and had been feeling miserable the last few days. This is graphite and the finished drawing will be 8”x10”. Many hours to go on this “Tal Hajus” piece. #aprincessofmars #thark #barsoom #edgarriceburroughs #graphitedrawing #graphite #robertelrodart #robertelrod #robertelrodllc (at Parker, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjtR9pWPpuB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
