Joe Madureira Draws Character From His Early Marvel Career; Cerise from Excalibur

I guess Joe Madureira has been feeling nostalgic as of late since his latest post to social media is a sketch of a character from one of his first gigs at Marvel Comics. Joe was hired right out of high school for his comic art talents and illustrated Excalibur issues 57 and 58.

Here is the tweet from Joe as well as the sketch and a screenshot of his old art. You can see how much he has refined his artwork; even in his tweet he says "Can't believe they hired me."

Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or...
