I’m doing these to familiarize myself with Manga Studio, a fantastic piece of software designed specifically for comic art. I’m also doing it to see how much work it takes to put a daily strip together. Not much, honestly. This one took under 2 hours from idea to posting, which is nothing compared to most of the stuff I’ve been trying lately. Obviously a lot of that has to do with the level of simplicity, but it also helps that inking is a breeze.
Well, it finally happened, I’m too pooped to post. I just got back from a long day videotaping a wedding in scenic Trenton, New Jersey, and I forgot how hard legitimate on-your-feet all day work can be. However, I dodged a bullet, because before I left this morning, I drew the cat you see above, as the first panel of a comic strip. Trust me, he’s saying something extremely hilarious. Maybe.
Trying out some software specifically designed for digitally inking comic strips. Just when I think I want to go analog, my shiny computer pulls me back.
Coupla 5-minute sketches; felt like I hadn’t been very spontaneous lately, so I scribbled the first 2 characters that popped into my head.
