Here is the video of me inking Gambit getting ready to throw a few cards. I added some fun Kirby Crackle to the cards and his hand because it doesn’t feel like Gambit without them #comicbooks #comcs #manga #marvel #marvelcomics #xmen #draw

A few months ago I did this Gambit and Rouge drawing as a continued warmup project. I’d work on it a little everyday before I went on to inking pages for a project. Here is a chunk of the penciling I did for Gambit #comics #manga #comicbooks #draw #sketchbook #xmen #marvel

I found out yesterday that my manga short Moonlit Fury made it to the finals of the Kadokawa World Manga Contest. While I didn't actually place for any of the prizes, being selected as a finalist out of 1,400 submissions is meaningful #manga #anime #comicbooks @viz.com @kadokawa-goods.bsky.social

More inking with the Japanese brush pen!this was a longer video I recorded while I was laying down textures for clothing. With the largest character on the page I could really get into the details and add a lot of details on the clothing folds. #manga #comicbooks #fantasyart @wotc-news.bsky.social

I drew this character for fun after I found a fashion model on Pinterest with the dress. As I was sketching I went more along the lines of a character concept art piece, creating a demon/Oni hunter after a fresh set of kills. #characterdesign #manga #fantasyart #conceptart

Jarret Katz @jkatzstudio.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Finished the inks for the Conan drawing! I really like how this turned out, I emended up adding more deatails to the background than I originally intended. I think it added to the impact to the overall composition #comic #comicbooks #sketchbook #draw #timelapse #sword #art #drawing

Jarret Katz @jkatzstudio.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Of course I couldn’t do some #xmen sketches without drawing a #wolverine, I went a little bit on his hair and it gave him a little bit more of a 90s look. #sketchbooktour #marvel #comics

Jarret Katz @jkatzstudio.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Working on a new sketchbook page, going to be doing a few #xmen characters. The first one is one of my favorites #nightcrawler with a saber. I really like how this one came out, the pose and reference I used really came together for a cool drawing. #comicbooks #sketchbook #marvel #copicmarkers

Jarret Katz @jkatzstudio.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Im all caught up on #themightynein and decided to do a #mollymauktealeaf piece pencil,ink and copic markers on 11X17 inch paper. I don’t listen to the podcast, but I’ve been really enjoying all of the @criticalrole.bsky.social animated content. #sketchbook #criticalrole #dungeonsanddragon

The full #sketchbook page in full!I think my favorite character on this page is Darevil I really liked how he came out. I added a little color as well to see how my colored comic markers looked layered over the grey tones. #spiderman #sketchbooktour #copicmarkers

Here is the black and white cover art I drew for The Miracle at Ravensburg: A Krampus Story comic. I was really able to let loose and do my own idea for the cover art I worked. I wanted it to fell strong, impactful and dark to showcase the tone and themes of the comic. #comic #krampus #xmas
