Steve Rude is a living legend and his sketchbooks are a must-own for anyone who appreciates comics art or wants to improve their art. Included are pages from his private sketchbook with notes, tips, and tricks along with his favorite commissions from the previous year, many of which are documented and roughed out in his sketchbook! The Sketchtember booklet contains a special set of drawings and paintings he did for a challenge during the month of September 2022. View progress shots and final results.

NEWLY UNLOCKED...
8 MORE PAGES
This makes our 2023 sketchbook a total of 88 pages!! That also pushes it into a book with a SPINE.
We are taking a different approach this year. We are reprinting Steve's sketchbook almost page for page inserting commissions as they appear and where appropriate. This is going to make for a unique sketchbook - how many of the pages we reprint is up to you!
THE THING PRINT UNLOCKED
$10 NOW - $20 LATER
"The Thing" Print UNLOCKED - available as an ADD-ON
If you have a reward level that includes extras - you've just earned a copy of this marvelous print! If not, you can purchase separately for only $10 during the campaign. Post campaign the extra prints will be $20 each, $25 signed.
FINAL ADD-ON SKETCH ADDED
Your choice of a character sketch on the inside front cover of any book you purchase, OR a separate 11x14 sketch. Steve's choice of medium (marker, prismacolor, etc). Black and white or color also his choice, as the character (your choice) allows. This is meant to be in color, however, sometimes black and white works best (i.e., Death, Vampirella, etc).
EXAMPLES:
HOW TO PURCHASE:
Find "SKETCH INSIDE SKETCHBOOK OR BLANK PAPER" in the ADD-ON section during checkout. You can choose "Update Your Pledge" and change your add-ons. As of this writing there are TWO available. This is lower than the cost of a regular 11x14 marker commission from Steve to hop on it!
How can I change my pledge amount or reward selection?
While a project is live you can adjust your pledge by visiting the project page and clicking the “Manage your pledge" button. On the following page, select "Change your pledge".
From here, you’ll be able to adjust your pledge amount or switch to a different reward tier (changing reward tier will automatically update your pledge amount). Additionally, you’ll have the option to add any add-on rewards, or give a little extra with bonus support.
If you’d prefer not to receive a reward, simply change to the "Make a pledge without a reward" tier and enter your new pledge amount.
Remember, when changing your pledge amount you are not adding to your existing pledge, the new amount you enter will be the total amount collected if the project is successfully funded.
Once a project has ended it is no longer possible to modify your pledge amount or reward selection. If you need to seek out an alternative arrangement, please reach out to us via a private message in Kickstarter or directly to [email protected].
