I don't know why but I occasionally feel the need to doodle from old 1960s comic book covers, especially by Neal Adams. Nothing detailed. Really just the big shapes.

Neal Adams + Stan Drake studies

Image
  Close studies of line technique from a late 1960s comic book cover done by Neal Adams. Also, some line weight analysis from Stan Drakes "Hearts of Juliet Jones" daily strip from the late 1950s.
