#Inktober Day 02

Hi Fair Readers,

Day two of #inktober brings a image I will call simply "Flying".

All of these drawings, for the whole month, will be done using Permanent Liners, with no additional work done on the pc apart from some levels work to better define the image and maybe some additional Gray wash on some.
This way it forces you to commit to the linework with no undo button to use!
If I do grey washes, or colour versions after I'll add it below the original image and update the post.

I'm hoping the drawings will get better with each day, and hopefully with more detail and improved quality all round.

*Update*

Below is a quick colour paint over in Photoshop for fun.

#Inktober Day 01

Hi Blog browsers!

I've decided to give #inktober a go this year, for those who don't know, it was started by a guy called Jake Parker in 2009 as a way to motivate himself and improve his art skills, and it took off and is now a global yearly event.
The idea is to do an ink piece of art, each day of the month of October.
Pretty simple really!
Hopefully I'll stick to it and have 31 inked drawings to show for it in a months time.

For more info on Jake please check out his website here - http://mrjakeparker.com

I need to get back into ink work, so just a small quick one for day one, with no real plan or reason, just a doodle.

See you tomorrow for day twos piece!

Comic Work Update 05

Hi,

Another small update, did a mock up page to show the writer what the style of the backgrounds will look like, there will be more buildings in the finished art work, and more detailing/shadows etc too.

Have a fun weekend!

Comic Work Update 03

Salutations browsers of the internet!

Its been a while (again) since my last post, but I've not been lazy!

Day jobs been hard as the temperatures been on the rise, but I've still managed to get some sketching in at lunch, and getting some work done on the comic book I'm working on in the evenings.

This morning I've been working on the main building, a Greenwich Village apartment block that the first issue is based in and around, and to save time later down the line, and because I enjoy it, I've built a model of it in Sketchup.

This will save hours of working out perspective when it comes to drawing exterior scenes! 

Its obviously not completely finished at the moment, I have some decisions to make on the ground floor before its done, but thought I'd share it anyhow. 

Enjoy your day people!

Comic Work Update 02

Hi Y'all,

Little spoiler free update that I can show of the project I'm currently working on.
The inking style is locked and everyone's happy with the look, just some alterations to his head and general facial features/age/hair and we have one main character ready to go....
So much fun plotting and planning!

More updates coming to a monitor near you soon.

Catch ya soon!

Comic Work Update

Hi to all peoples of the Internets,

Been busy of late with day job shenanigans, but have also been in talks about doing the art for a book with someone I met through said day job!
I'll be putting my own personal project on hold (well, working on it when I can) whilst working on this story, it's a great tale and I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into it.
I won't be able to post anything here which could be a potential spoiler to the story itself, but I will post character sketches and other related planning bits when I can.

Many thanks to James and Sharan for the opportunity!

Here's some character sketches I did for them for one of the main characters, this served as a basis to begin getting the style they were looking for.

More to come soon, and I'm very much looking forward to working on it....


AWESOME SAUCE!
