I had a little downtime before the debate and sketched our anchor. With the photo comparison, I realize how little it actually looks like him, but I think I captured his soul. Or something. Yeah.

Now I’m experimenting with digitally inking in the same style. Decidedly smoother, but less character? I dunno. I guess it’s all about the same once it’s reduced in size.

This is just a test panel for my comic book, to see if I think I can use real ink instead of doing it digitally. My problem is, I can’t zoom into the paper like I can a digital file, so my naturally shaky hands tend to betray me when drawing little characters with a brush pen. But, I’ll keep practicing.

This is what you call a two-fer. My sister commissioned a drawing of her coworker as a witch (for her birthday…no insult intended, I think!), and I’m also using it to meet my daily sketch blog quota. Pure sorcery.

All right, I laid out 8 pages! Honestly I’m a little nervous about the response from the class, but as long as it’s something more constructive than “start over, you hack!” I’ll be happy.
