Pencils page 4

 I think I got these done in just over a day. I'll be spending what's left of my holiday inking these two pages.

Page 3 pencils

 So, resolving to do tighter pencils from now on, these are the ones for page three of this Marlo thing.

Fortnight break - Trying to get some work done

 Two short weeks, and one almost gone, been attempting to hack out this comic thing, here's the first new panel of the third page.

I penciled the whole page quite roughly, then I did an exercise while trying to design a new ink brush that might serve all my needs. I thought it would be called the Kirby because I've been looking at a lot of Jack Kirby lately, and to that end I actually loaded in some Kirby art to ink over while designing this brush.

I just ended up inking over the art and never got around to designing the brush, it was nice just to ink over clearly defines artwork, and it dawned on me that I might have to start re-thinking how I do my pencils. Having then attempted a first iteration of this one brush to rule them all, I used it to do an ink-over of some John Romita art.

So once again, I was forced to consider how much better my own stuff would be if I put in the damn time on the pencils (and draw like Kirby and Romita).

Re-color

 

Hacking away at color again

 This weekend I finished the panels and experimented with golden age color treatments. 

It's a challenge for sure, I looked at a lot of Kirby work and I didn't realize how good that stuff is.

I'm sure I'll be re-thinking these choices.

Resolving the panels, re-doing some things.

 Got some things done over the weekend on this thing. Hope to finalize it over the week after work.
