FAILED 24 Hour Comic

So, I failed at making a 24 hour comic. Instead, I made 7 inked comic strips. I was pretty bummed early on because the comic shop I was going to do it at cancelled the event. I ended up just working in my studio alone, which is NO FUN AT ALL :(

But I'm pretty happy with what I made off with. Writing 24 punch lines would have been pretty much impossible anyway. I had a hard enough time with these seven. I knew it was time to quit when I drew Alex's hand backwards in the last strip. Better to cut my losses and take what I could get.

Eventually I will finish these up properly and post them on my website. I miss doing this comic!

brushing up

I've recently ditched my dip pen and started to work more with my brush for linework. Partly because I was going through a ton of pen nibs, and partly because the pen was starting to feel really restricting. I was finding I kept getting the same lines over and over. There was no excitement or movement.

Now that I'm using my brush, I'm getting into a lot of accidents, and that's awesome! This piece for example has so much more life in it than if I had inked it with my pen. I've been using the brush on sketches, finished work, and even my comics. I can't wait to keep going with it!
