(Updated) Nicolas Martinez with his lessons.

(This is an updated version of my recent post. You can now view the large images in this post.)

Hi everybody.

My name is Nicolas Martinez, and I'm new to this blog. 

I've been doing a couple Preston Blair lessons by myself and posting them on Deviantart. Just recently, Hammerson told me about this blog, and suggest that I join. Sure enough, I contacted David Omar, and here I am.

Here are my most recent lessons, along with a select bunch of older ones. I think a few look okay, but may need some work.

My most recent one:

Hey Everyone,

I'm going to go through the blog and delete some posts.  Just to keep the page organized.  I'll keep everything that deals with ongoing discussions or lessons.  It's nothing personal, I'll be deleting most of my irrelevant update posts, too.  

Your friend,

David

P.S.  I'll be posting lesson 3 Sunday evening (pacific time).

UPDATE

I'm glad everyone is getting acquainted on this here blog.  As many of you have probably guessed, I invited people that comment and link their work on John K's blog.  John states that the Preston lessons are the only thing you need to become a great cartoonist.  I got to about lesson 5 and stopped.  I'm hoping that by having a support system we can slowly but surely get through the whole book.  I don't know how long it will take, but hopefully everyone here will stick around for the journey. 

I wanted to bring up the subject of clean-ups.  I know a lot of members here are as eager as I am to perfect our inking skills.  I'm suggesting that after we get our best version of our lesson tries, we try to ink it.  We could post the best pencil side by side with the inks.  Learn 2 things at once.  Does this sound good.  I'm not sure if everyone here has a Wacom, but I'm sure a brush or pen  would be fine.  Please give feedback on this. 

Thanks again for joining,

David Omar
