Each week we present to you, the coolest comic book art that you won't see in actual comics. The reason you won't is because artists often draw sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their websites, blogs and Tumblrs. Some artists even pre-arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out for more information.

This weekend is Long Beach Comic Expo. Some of the artists featured below will be there. We'll also be shooting another edition of the Mystery Art Challenge so stay tuned for more on that.

Todd Nauck posted some more sketches on his Tumblr. He's also doing a Sketch Retweet Contest this weekend during LBCE where you can win a head sketch of a character of your choosing. Details HERE.

@granitesoldier: I guess they think his cute and it's probably the way many artists most enjoy drawing anthros.

This thread is made up from the blogs and websites of industry artists who share work with their audience. All the pieces are done by actual comic book artists from around the web.

And I was certain there was at least one Spock.

EDIT: Yeah, went back and double checked. There are at least 3 Spock drawings in this collection.

I'm pretty sure this one is just for professional artists. I can't recall them ever featuring an artist who wasn't an industry professional. If you like, you can ask the site's Editor (@g_man) what criteria he uses to pick works for the weekly thread. :)

For the amateurs, you're welcome to join us in the Artist Show-Off forum. We post and share our artwork and we also do several artist contests each month in a variety of categories. It's all for fun/practice, but I always enjoy talking with fellow artists. Drop by some time!
