Awesome Art Picks: Batman, Iron Man, Blue Beetle and More

Some of this week's coolest comic book art you won't see in comic books.

We all love comic book art. Each week we search the internet for those cool pieces that artists sometimes do during their free time. Many artist have personal websites, blogs and Tumblr accounts where they post the sketches they do for fun. Sometimes it deals with characters they working on and other times it's characters from other companies that they just felt like drawing. This stuff is way too good to go unnoticed so we try to highlight them to make sure everyone gets to enjoy them.

Everyone seems to like Batman and artist love to draw him. Gabriel Hardman is currently working is currently drawing Red Hulk but check out his rendition of the Dark Knight.

Paolo Rivera will be at NYCC as well. He just posted a commission from last year that he just recently finished? Definitely looks worth the wait. He mentioned he doesn't normally do fully-rendered painting on comic covers.
