More Monkeys
Back when Mike Pell started at Archie in the art dept they had Zip Disks. They were like gold, each person was rationed one, no more unless it was broken. So obviously being new, everyone kept taking his and he would have to ask for a new one. Which was not pleasant. His plan was to draw monkeys (the best animal to draw, ever) on his Zip disks to keep it out of "enemy" hands. It worked for a longtime too. The fez wearing monkey with a bubble pipe is still Mike's favorite
James Bukauskas sent along his own Draw Monkey.

Sergio Toppi warmup
Today’s warmup/study comes from Drew Moss and is inspired by Italian illustrator Sergio Toppi's The Collector.
Toppi’s uses framing and hatching to make texture and shadow. The elegance of his line is amazing.

Poll & Robert McGinnis warmup
We added a poll in the sidebar. It will be open until Friday so please vote to help us pick the blog's logo/banner art.
Instead of jumping right into themes and characters we thought we'd just share a bunch of different sketches and drawings from the group.
Here is a warmup from Drew Moss inspired by the work of Robert McGinnis.
And here are some of the tools Drew uses (from left to right): Pentel Pocket Brush, Scharff round No. 2, ColErase in Carmine Red, Quill with a Zebra G nib, Mimik round No. 6, Kuretake no. 55 Brush pen, 2mm leadholder F lead, Posca White paint marker, and a manual air brush (top)

Anthropoid Artists, Assemble!
Welcome to Draw, Monkey, Draw!!!, a sketchblog for comic artists to encourage, support and inspire one another.
Each week the group will create artwork based on a character or theme. It could be anything from a warm up sketch to something more polished - whatever the artist, or their schedule, chooses.
First up... Draw a monkey with art utensils.
We'll let you vote on your favorite and use it as the blog's logo. Themes will be chosen on Sundays and the art is due on Fridays.
Only three days left so get to work, you monkeys!
