| 11 | Reilly Brown |
Reilly Brown is best known for his run on Cable & Deadpool in the mid-2000s, but he's also worked on a number of other Marvel books. These include The Incredible Hercules, New Warriors and a little-known book called The Amazing Spider-Man. Deadpool fans love getting sketches of the merc with a mouth from this guy, but, with his expressive and dynamic style, anything drawn by Brown will look good in your sketchbook.
| 10 | Eric Canete |
Eric Canete has also done work at Marvel, drawing Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin and New Avengers: Luke Cage. He is also recognized for his work on indie books like Comic Book Tattoo, NYC Mech and The End League. Canete's work is absolutely explosive and utterly unique – a difficult feat to pull off in this day and age. The artist might not have yet risen to true comic book superstar heights, but trust us, it's only a matter of time. Obtaining a sketch from Canete a pretty great investment.
| 9 | Jacob Chabot |
When it comes to artwork that's cute, hilarious and just plain awesome, Jacob Chabot is one of the best. The creator of The Mighty Skull-Boy Army and the artist on Marvel's X-Babies series, Chabot is best known for his somewhat cutesy style, but all the round faces belie a super-sharp sense of humor belonging to one of the purest cartoonists around. Anything will look good drawn by this guy – go ahead and test him.
