Welcome to the first batch of drawings by artists who are trying out to see if they can nab a spot as one of the regular The Line it is Drawn artists!
All day, I'll be posting entries in groups of 20 artists an entry. Check their work out and marvel at all the great talent on display here. Then, next week, after these artists do a second drawing, we'll ask you all to vote on your favorites. I'll also have a group of judges vote for their favorites. I'll combine the votes and we'll end up with the two new regular artists for The Line it is Drawn. We'll also be picking out one regular alternate artist for the Line it is Drawn, but I'll let you know how we're picking that artist a little later on.
So kick back and check out some nifty artwork, all based on the same theme as The Line it is Drawn this week, which was "Turn a famous person/character into a superhero or supervillain."
Enjoy!
I'm listing the pieces in the order I received them. There are way too many to credit all the suggestion givers, but if you recognize one of your suggestions, feel free to mention it in the comments if you'd like credit!
