Some Weasleys

I was looking through my sketch book last night when I came across an old sketch I had done of Mad Eye Moody. Started drawing some Weasleys and took the best of the sketches(Percy and Arthur and colored them in. I'll post the Mad eye at some point. This was probably the fastest coloring job I've ever done so you'll have to excuse the sloppiness. Back to work.

Color Testing

Testing out some brushes and trying to find the right look for coloring my comic. I have a lot more prep to do before I start (not to mention finishing my children's book)and tests like these help me determine the right direction to move in.

Angry DIno

Sketched out this guy and decided to break out the crow tip pen to ink it. Really enjoyed the way it turned out. I'm trying to maintain patience with the brush pen but it's certainly hard to do. Color is also my friend, not so good with just black and white.

Here's the second page (spread) of the children's book I've been working on. Took forever. 4 spreads left, then I can work on the cover and spot illustrations.

Christmas Card

Last year I sent out a postcard to all my friends. I'm terrible about keeping in touch with people so I made this postcard my way of at least saying hi once a year. This was the Christmas 2011 version.

Practice for Practice

I have a 9 page Ironpaw Comic penciled up to practice inking on. I'll be using my brush pen for it and it will be in Black and White so I can't rely on photoshop or color to save me and my mistakes. To practice for practice I've been sketching up black and white characters and reading a lot of Dragon ball and Bone. Here's one such character.

BullSharkish

Wasn't too happy with the last Charlie I did. He was a little lankier than I would prefer so I did this one. More Bullsharkish. Nice.

Brush Pen

Yesterday I got my Pentel Pocket Brush Pen in the mail. Having never used one before I was super excited to finally have a chance to try it out. Have to say it was pretty awesome. I have a shaky hand and with a brush my line tends to waiver quite a bit but the pen calmed that down a good amount. After fooling around in my sketch book I attacked some of these figures I had sketched up for a comic I'll be working on in the near future.
