I'm a comic artist currently working with DC, Marvel, BoomStudios, Z2, and others. I'm also working on a creator-owned graphic novel and series of little zines. | You can find more of my work on Instagram: @loganfaerber or on my website: loganfaerberdesign.com
In preparation for the upcoming Heroes Con, I made this pin-up-esque/comic cover piece. I had asked around for various suggestions of characters people would like to see me tackle, and I really loved the idea of Batwoman since I’ve been a huge fan of the recent series and of J.H.Williams III’s art, which is just amazing. However, my take is more of the Bruce Timm and Darwyn Cooke style of character, who is a bit more abstracted. I’ve decided to include the black and white version as well since I used it to check my values throughout the process, and really fell in love with the more noire-like tone it presented. That being said, enjoy and I hope to see you at Heroes Con this upcoming June!
A variant cover I did for DC Comics’ “Harley Quinn The Animated Series Legion of Bats” issue 1, which comes out October 19, 2022! I had so much creating this one since I adore Harley and Ivy (they’re my favorite DC couple). And I wanted to place them into a cute dating scenario that could include little nods to various other infamous Batman characters, and what better place to do so than a Gotham City arcade?
I’ve included the original thumbnail sketch along with the final inks to share some of the processes that go behind the final colored piece. I hope ya’ll enjoy it! You can read more about the upcoming issue below:
Since doing the triptic group of X-Men character sketches, I decided to do another, but this time of Batman related characters; Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. This was inspired by the most recent New 52 series that DC released last year, which has continued to be stellar. Maybe someday I’ll get to work on Batman, for real :(
A few days ago I was commissioned to do an illustration of Etrigan the Demon, whom I’ve never drawn before, so it was pretty fun to tackle a new character. He requested it to be colored. I did a few sketch ideas of how to go about tackling such a character, such as jumping or using his powers, but ultimately I decided to go a more simple route with a portrait. If I did it again however, I might tackle the jumping composition.
For those interested I’ve included the line work drawing done with india ink and a brush, then a grey scale of the colors applied as a value study and finally the finished colored piece. It’s always nice to take a break from doing largely digital work in order to return to various traditional mediums. That reminds me, I’m always open for commissions, so if anyone else is ever interested, please feel free to contact me at loganfaerber@gmail.com. I’d be happy to discuss any and all ideas.
Finally completed the inking for this massive (22x28in) commissioned piece that depicts the three heads of the JLA sparring with the ruthless Darkseid. I wanted to rein-vision these famous characters rather than re-depict what has already been done. With my style, it ended up as a mixture of Bruce Timm and Paul Pope; two illustrators I admire greatly and am more than honored to have embraced as inking mentors. I would actually love to do more of these and maybe even attempt some in color so that I can have a hand at dry brush texture on a superhero subject matter.
I was honored to have made a pin-up piece for the upcoming run of Image comics’ Luther Strode series by the great team of Tradd Moore and Justin Jordan. This is a new character, thus I decided to stay relatively true to her design for now at least. I can safely say the book is looking phenomenal! Definitely keep an eye out if you’re interested in great art and a great story!
This was a commission piece that I received while at Heroes Con last weekend. Instead of doing a traditional pin-up for Abe Sapien, I decided to place him underwater, clutched by a monster’s tentacles who is dragging him further under. I wanted it to feel more like a full page spread of a cover rather than just a bust, which I would love to do as well in the near future. I may also decide to color this illustration in time, but for now I will leave it as an intense black and white piece. -Logan
The Shadow commission piece I recently did. I really loved the old pulp comic feel, but I wanted to add more intensity to the character this time around. It was also composed to work as a variant cover or as a pin-up. I’m really glad that the comic world has brought this classic character back successfully. -L
After great apprehension to do so, I broke and ended up buying a jumbo (12"x17"-ish) Moleskine sketchbook. The size is truly fantastic and really allows your hand and arm to move freely about the page without any worry of constraint. In order to get this bad boy started, I chose to do an illustration of The White Violin from Umbrella Academy by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba. If you haven’t done so yet, read that comic now… like, right now.
It took me a while to get around to reading it myself actually. Since it came out in the years of my college education, I didn’t allow myself the opportunity of reading it then, although I’m sure it would’ve helped inspire me and my studies in some way, especially considering it was art school. Looking back on it, I didn’t even have good excuse; even the library next door to my house had a copy. In the end, I bought one for myself to enjoy at my own leisure in the comfort of my own home, and man did I enjoy it. So in short, I recommend everyone give it a chance, or at least check it out several times from your library so that it at least makes you feel guilty for not reading it.
On another note:
I initially acquired this massive sketchbook in order to travel with it, but I had not anticipated its scale to that of my backpack. So I’m not quite sure how transportable it will ultimately be, but I plan on taking it for a spin with me to California this Friday for some good old life drawing exercises. If all goes well, I will return home with a more complete and hopefully intact sketchbook. Otherwise this White Violin sketch might be the one and only drawing attributed to this new sketchbook’s name (Heraldo?) that sees the light of day
Enjoy this piece at least and with fingers crossed let’s hope there’s more to come!
