Does anybody out there use the Pentel brush pens? (Bougieman, I'm pretty sure you do.) I picked one up a few months ago, but haven't really been using it much until recently. I love the way it handles, except for the fact that it's so fucking hard to regulate the flow of ink. There's either too little or too much; I can't find that happy medium. And when there's too much, the ink smears all over the place, ruining the drawing (which is why I've only been using it for sketches and messing around). I've been using the plastic one that looks like this...
And here's a sketch I did with it
Is the $20 metal version any better?
Here's another sketch, done with a regular old brush, just for the hell of it
Check out the gorgeous work of original art I just purchased from the insanely talented Douglas darkwaterfrey Frey---
And, for the ridiculously low price of 40 bucks, you too can commission your own full-color masterpiece. Jump on it!!
A drawing I never got around to finishing from about 10 years ago, back when I was doing a lot more stippling. This was to be the cover of a collection of drawings that never got published. Never, never, never.
And here's my favorite cat video of the moment
Working on stuff that's taking me too long to finish, so here's a couple of sketches in the meantime.
I just finished reading John Kelly's The Great Mortality, a history of the Black Death, so rats is on me mind
Shoulda looked at a photo first, as the ear seems off. Oh, well. Here's a really loose sketch for a comic idea I'm kicking around in my head
So, for all my comic-creating friends: To what extent do you create and rely on character model sheets when making your comics? Do you find them to be a necessary step, and if so, how detailed do you get with them? Personally, I don't use them or I'll just do a very rudimentary one. I'll make sketches of how I want the character to look beforehand, but they're very general and loose and I'm constantly changing things as I go along. Thing is, I don't know if this is the best way to proceed because I often worry that there's too much inconsistency in a character from panel to panel and that my characters all look too much alike. Maybe taking the time to do a proper model sheet would solve these problems? (The whole exercise seems so pedantic and constricting, though.) Keep in mind, I'm speaking as someone who, for various reasons, limits himself to one- to four-page comics, usually with a new character for each comic. Of course, with longer comics or with a character who appears in several installments of a comic over an extended period of time (to say nothing of animation), consistent use of a model sheet would be crucial. So, any thoughts you'd like to share would be welcome.
This is a comic I did for the latest issue of Robin bougieman Bougie's CINEMA SEWER, based on a story written by the illustrious skilletdawg. Those hip enough to own a copy will know that it was published under the title "Little Ones" (with the title lettering done by bougieman himself). To those who don't own a copy, I can only say: what the fuck is wrong with you?!
Had to waste my weekend working on crap for my day job. Did get to go to life drawing tonight, but not much good came of it, so here's some drawings from last week's session
