First off can we just appreciate how nice Craig's blog looks, the banner at the top with his art style looks awesome and the black background really compliments his art. Like most of the artist's blogs I've looked at Craig mostly just posts pictures of his art, he posts a lot of progress shots of his comic pages. These progress pages are really interesting, mainly in how he draws his roughs, with some sort of black marker and how much detail he 'inks' before digitally colouring the pages (something I've been trying to figure out in my own work). The rest of the blog is notices about events he'll be attending and answering questions. At the side he has links to his other social media sites and where you can purchase his work but that's about it.

Eric's blog is much like everyone else's. He only posts sketches though (very rarely completed work) accompanied with about a line of why he's done the sketch such as 'just practising poses' etc. At the top he to has links to other places you can buy or see his work. I really like the layout of his blog, how you see two posts side by side and how visually impacting it is but also how simple the layout is. This whole aesthetic would simply be ruined if he posted large chunks of writing. The option to ask him questions is there but I imagine he answers these privately as I never see them come up on his blog.

Eric posts a range of his work, from progress comic stuff to sketches to the sort of work that you can buy as prints and such. He'll post a little line giving the work context and maybe saying how it was done but that's all and sometimes the posts will act as an advertisement for some upcoming project. He also has the typical links at the top of his page and the option to ask him questions, though these never appear on his blog. The layout isn't as nice as Craig's or Hibbeler's as the range of work gives an aesthetic dissonance the one by one large nature of how the work is posted and displayed just doesn't have the impact or beauty of how Hibbeler's work is displayed.
