11/30/2013 Inking and Writing

In the midst of writing, I got a chance to do a bit of inking.  Here's a quick 1 hour sketch!

Didn't get a chance to update last night because I went out drinking.  The bar we went to had ridiculously beautiful servers working there.  Inspired me to draw this!

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!

This will be my post for Day 2 of the challenge! (the previous post was something I drew last night)

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.

8/24/2012 Update

Slowly making progress!  I didn't want to keep everyone out of the loop, so I thought I'd post. 

I've been spending too much time working on not being unemployed, that progress has been much slower than I had hoped.  But no more!  I'm going to concentrate more on making this comic become a reality!

8/13/2012 Stuff and Happenings

Hello friends!  Sorry I've been absent for so long once again, but I promise it was for good reason!  The whole finding-a-job situation has been distracting me a lot.  Though I have more time, I seem to spend most of that time looking for leads, or stressing out about not already having a job.  I've had some good news trickle in recently, so hopefully that's a sign of things lookin' up in the future.

But!  That's not all I've been spending my time on.  Take a look see, my friends, here's a little preview of what I'll be working on.

It only took me 4 tries, but I've finally completed the first page of my comic (pictured left) !!!
