Day 22: Finished Page 9! Is it weird that my favorite part of the drawing is the hand holding the beer bottle in panel 3? Day 23: On to Page 10! Day 24: Starting to ink Page 10 with my Pentel Pocket brush pen (pictured), which is my favorite tool of choice when inking. Day 25: Finishing up Page 10, along with a random assortment of pens I use. In addition to my Pentel brush pen that was mentioned previously, I use a fatter Faber-Castell brush pen and some various sized Micron

Sketchbook Sunday

Sketchbook Sunday

Since last Sunday was Easter, of course I had to draw a bunny. It was also a nice way to practice more of the outlining with colored pencil technique. I do like the softer look of the colored pencil outline with marker illustrations. I also sketched out some thumbnails for some upcoming pages in my comic. Because I've been mostly working on my comic in my spare time, I haven't done as much sketching as usual, but I did have a chance to do some doodling while proctoring exams

Week 3 of the 100 Days of Making Comics challenge. Although my ultimate goal is to eventually find a full time job, I do like the fact that cobbling together part-time work does give you more time to work on personal projects. Day 15: Creepy-faced lady receives a puppy as I begin drawing Page 8. Day 16: Starting to ink Page 8. Also, Creepy-faced lady is no longer quite as creepy! Day 17: The nice thing about black is it covers up some of your mistakes! I also went with black

Feeling inspired by the artist Cloverkin, whom I saw at the Indiana Comic Con yesterday, and her “Pets in Armor series,” I decided to draw some decked out animal characters of my own. And, what better than to combine two of my favorite things: cats and a certain hip-hop Broadway musical that is sold out until the year 2189? Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Hamilcat! Confession time? Here’s what I got: This is not an entirely original idea to have the Hamilton characters as ca

My progress for the second week of the 100 Days of Making Comics Challenge. Since I spent most of the time that week working full time on a graphic design job, I had little time to devote to the challenge, but I still managed to get some work done.

100 Days of Making Comics Days 3-7

It's been a week since I started the 100 Days of Making Comics Challenge, and what a week it has been! In addition to working on my comic, I've had a couple graphic design-related jobs pop up to keep me busy. I'm still determined to spend at least 30 minutes on the comic each day and stick with the challenge, even it if means I have to stay up a little later or not watch so many Youtube videos. Day 3: Finished inking Page 5 with some help from my studio assistant. Day 4: Work
