Creative Pause


Well, other than the movie meme below, I've been back to the drawing board this weekend. I still haven't settled on the setting/idea for the action sequence I want to draw next so I decided not to just sit on my laurels and get some inking done while I considered what to draw.


Saturday saw me ink a page and a half of the Jock and I finished the second page today but my Sunday morning lie in and various chores that still need doing mean I won't get much more done today.


Anyway, above is a panel from the Spidey Loves Mary Jane samples I recently completed. For these pages, I'm practically inking myself with a pencil. The layouts loosely put all the basic details in, which I then clarify by going over and filing in the details. This would be a finished page if I were pencilling for somebody else to ink, whereas my layouts can be vague and too loose (nothing is ever ruled or detailed!) for anybody else to decipher really. Having said that, I'm crap at cars so that was worked out pretty much in the layouts as I didn't trust myself to tighten up in the pencilling stage, even using reference!


This week will see me hopefully inking a bit if not starting the new sequence..

nice stuff sir. I'd go extreme closeup and just do the car dooe - it's the easier way. Cars are evil, who'd want to draw one?

Cars are evil gits sent to test people trying to draw them...you can make 'em up but they never look right and cause they're so weirdly designed now, if you use ref, it looks like your angles are off even though the car is designed with stupid arse sloping windows or box-like hatchback rearends!

Next time I have to draw a car, I'm using the Flintstones for reference!

The car looks fine dude, as does the figure, it's that weird thing she's holding that disturbs me. Is that a taser or some jizzed up sex toy?

Taser---although you never know...
