I've decided I'm going to try to enter the Monsters and Dames for Emerald City Comic Con.  I love making a huge mess of colors then trying to harness it back into something pretty.

Gotta Hurry, gotta reload!

9/16/2013 30 Day Challenge: Day 4

Getting better with economizing my space.  I'm going to try buying some new inks and use some of the new pen nibs I bought a few months ago.

I find myself getting a bit stuck in trying to create far back grounds.  Once I draw an interior, I find myself not allotting enough time into thinking about what's happening beyond windows.  I know how I would deal with these problems if I were painting, but pen and ink being so unforgiving...

Anyway, the journey continues!

9/15/2013 30 Day Challenge: Day 3

My family is staying with me for the week!  I had to hide away for a couple hours just to get this done! 

9/12/2013 More Inking Studies

Now with the comic all finished up, I find myself free to do more of these inking studies.  I'm glad I get to do these, because I'm finding out a lot about inking just by experimenting with different tools again.  I've been married to the idea of using dip pens and brushes, but I find i get much more predictable and cleaner results from using felt tips and microns.  This allows me to think less about the tools and just concentrate on creating interesting forms, shapes and lines. 

More of these to come, hopefully.

Summer Girls 3.0

Here's my third installment of my annual Summer Girls themed paintings!

This painting took forever, but it was a BLAST painting this one.  A did a lot of experimenting with color on this one, and it was totally worth it.  A lot of the colors came out better than I had expected!
