Sketchbook Fun, part 2

During the summer, I took my sketchbook with me when my son and I went swimming. Here's an example of what I did. I see a bunch of flaws, but it was still good to be able to get back into the swing of life drawing--especially since my schedule (or bank account!) didn't permit taking a class or a workshop at the time.

Interestingly enough, when you have a sketchbook at a public pool, every woman will think that it's her you're drawing.

True story.

Sketchbook Fun

Messing around in my sketchbook (summer/fall 09, maybe?).

Happy New Year, everyone!

2010 Ahoy!

Not so much resolutions, but let's call 'em goals.

1) Improve my craft, as an artist, a writer and a visual storyteller.
2) Fill out my schedule with more (and better) freelance work.
3) Make time to make sure that I have a larger creator-owned comics output this coming year.
4) Get one of these! (also pictured, above) Of course, that's dependent on Goal #2.

I have plenty of personal goals; same as everyone else, but they're not nearly as fun as the professional goals...

Happy New Year, folks!

Another look at the Para Inks

Pencils by Fed, inks by me.

More Para Project, More Inking!

By now, you know the drill: Fed (I think that's the penciller's name) does some really nice work, and I try my hardest not to screw it up!

Lather, rinse, repeat!

Some More Para Project Inks

Some more inks from the Para Project. The fun thing about inking someone with a totally different style than you, is that you step outside your own process and get glimpses into other ways to solve artist problems.

Fun and educational!

Inks: Para Project

I've been inking some pages for my pal Mike Heffron's forthcoming OGN, The Para Project, coming in 2010 from Lawdog Comics. Here's a example of the pencils (not sure of who the penciller is) and my inks.
