I’m going to have to keep this one brief because I’m pretty busy. But I wanted to go into the weekend with another sketch. Adam’s friend Mike Gagnon was Baltimore with him and asked for a Nova sketch in his sketchbook. After Adam’s and Craig’s (still not done yet) sketchbooks, I didn’t think my heart could take it and there were only a few hours left in the convention at that point. I worried I might rush it and that wouldn’t be good. So Mike agreed to let me do a standalone sketch at home and mail it to him. It’s probably only half-way there as I type this but Mike was nice enough to allow me to post the scan early.
I enjoyed this one though the pose wasn't particularly original. As I told Adam, I like drawing Nova's leg stripes and when he flies all you see are speedlines. That left arm is a little horsey, too. (You can imagine the jokes Christian is making right now.) I chalk that up to the angle of my desk. And my laziness. Add proportions to the list of things I need to work on.
That said, doing this sketch gave me a reason to draw and with all the moving around I've been doing at work, it's difficult to get in the mood or even find the time. So I was grateful for the opportunity. It was a lot of fun playing with the grey-tone markers too.
I hope you like it and I hope you have a great weekend.
(Craig, don't worry. You’re not getting a Nova. :) )

Great drawing Matt! That arm looks alright to me. The new costume's not bad, but I think I can see what you've been saying about the old costume over the new. Some superheroes really don't need a costume change.
I agree with the old costume being better. And I also think the arm looks pretty good. Nice drawing! :)
I love it Matt...'horsey' arm and all :)
seriously, came out great. Glad my sketch request actually ended up serving a good purpose for you. After a tiring first week back in the classroom, this was a great spirit lifter.

looks fine!
Looks great Matt. Nice mixture of a super hero pose and him getting ready to take off.
oh, i dig all over that nova, matt! wonderful job!
great pose and, as adam said, ready to rocket into space! love it!
and yeah, being the ultimate traditionalist that i am, i love the original costume so much more. that new helmet makes my eyes hurt!
Horsey, you say?
Neigh, says I.
;-)
LOVE it, Matt! Always great to see more Nova art from you! I digs it!
man great stuff with this one and the question piece!
i love the old costume as well. not a fan of the new helmet but at times i do find the new suit kinda neat, mostly when they have the energy coming out of what i like to refer to as his exhaust ports. heh
