Sullen Manga Style Teenager
Decided to experiment with working on Mi-Teintes coloured pastel card today. White Art Spectrum ink, Black Koh-I-Noor ink, Schminke watercolours.
Supanova
This weekend I represented Squishface Studio at the Melbourne Supanova Pop Culture Expo.
Did this commission piece while I was there. It’s of Lucifer from the DC comics universe (Sandman and other Vertigo titles). Also Dave and I sold out of the comics we were selling which was a nice feeling.
Thank you to everyone [...]
Class Exercise – Angel
Really enjoyed doing the old school drip nib style rendering for this, even though I was actually doing it with an artline.
Classes Begin Again at Box Hill Community Art Centre
Kicked things off with some Bruce Timm influenced Batman. Some of the girls didn’t want to draw Batman though, so we did have a ninja, a dancing girl and a dragon man in the same pose.
Drawing Joe Lyons from Memory
Out of the three pages of sketches I recently did of Joe, mostly ones from memory rather than reference, this one “felt” the most like what I image Joe to be like. That said, the photo I’ve provided here doesn’t really have the same mood, but visually it was similar to the drawing I ended [...]
Writing, Writing
Working away on my script at the moment, but here is a doodle of Harold Holt and some fish in the meantime.
Drawing in the Style of Jeff Smith
Another exercise I created for the class I teach.
It felt awkward to me to ink this with an artline marker pen, I really wanted to use a brush, but my younger students don’t have the dexterity to use brush for this kind of work yet.
Getting More Cartoony
I still don’t know exactly what style I will draw this story in, but simplifying the characters like this helps me to memorize their features so that I can consistently draw them without reference.
The characters above are top row: Harold and Zara Holt. Bottom Row: Enid and Joesph Lyons.
First Digital Drawing
David bought a Samsung Slate tablet the other day. This is the drawing I made on it.
I’m calling this my first digital drawing, but now I think on it I made 100% digital drawings in Microsoft Paint and Dr Halo paint program back in the 90s. This time round was a lot easier!
Teaching Kids to Draw Like Mike Mignola
This exercise I prepared yesterday was a fair bit of work, but I’m happy with both how my drawing turned out and how well the students responded to it.
