Meet the Line it is Drawn Trial Artists!
These are the ten excellent artists who will be doing three more weeks of drawings as they try-out to become a new artist for the Line it is Drawn.
Check out the pieces they’ve done already and marvel at the awesomeness that they bring to the table!
I’m listing them in alphabetical order (by last name). Their first piece was based on the subject of turning a notable person (real or fictional) into a superhero or a supervillain. Their second piece was teaming up two characters that have never teamed up before.

Much awesomeness. But the CB-Men are the awesomest of all.

I never got around to checking the tryouts you posted before, and now I think I might have to go back and do that. These are all really good. I’d have a hard time picking if it were up to me.

Cynthia and Bill were my top two faves from earlier so delighted to see them here. Great group all around though and can’t wait to see their further work.

Wow, these are all pretty awesome. Some may even be better than some of the current the Line it is Drawn artists… Are you sure only one of these folk can make the cut? Maybe you should add three or four of them, or rotate them out or something.

Wow, I didn’t get a chance to all of these when they were originally posted (I must confess, I skimmed through them for the sake of time), but what a mistake! I’ve only seen about half of these before, but they’re all great! That Harley/Deadpool piece is so cool that I’m actually kinda mad it’s not real. You ever wanna make it happen, Marco, you got a writer waiting!

it’s already up, isn’t it? The boxing one, right? Does everyone else not see it?

I see it, Brian. I was going to comment that it was there, but I, um, didn’t.
But yeah, this is a great batch of people.

Really thrilled to see my pal Marco make it to this round! His gallery was inspiration enough to warrant me inviting him to tryout! Go for the gold, friend!

I love Harley’s crazy-eyes more every time I see them.

Every time I look at the X-Peanuts, I come away with even more love for how Thea assigned their roles — and little details like CycLinus’ security blanket — and in a style that is nothing like any of Thea’s other drawings!
Just hire her and Walko already!
