Drawing thought process
Someone asked if I draw the construction every time I sit down to draw. Below you can see how I draw something and what I think about. I think more about the shape design and rhythm and then only use the construction if I get stuck. If you go straight to construction, it can make your drawing stiff. I go straight from this rough to the ink.

cool, always like seeing your roughs
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian! Your roughs are awesome as well!
ReplyDeleteSecond Brian on that. Your roughs say a lot about how you approach the subject. Way to go:)
ReplyDeleteI agree too. In fact it's gotten to the point that I'm genuinely excited when I see there's a new post on this and your other blog.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to ask about all these comics your always working on. What are they called and where could I get hold of them? Me being in the UK and all.
Cheers for the blog!
That's a good point about construction vs stiffness. It seems like all the tweaks you have noted here, are steps toward stronger general appeal.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this!

Thanks guys.
ReplyDeleteDavey: I worked on a book called "Flight" the latest story I did was in Volume 6. The other stuff should be out next year.
I'm sure this has been asked a million times, so sorry if that's the case. For this piece, did you ink and color in Photoshop? I ask because I just can't seem to find a worthy inking routine. I've tried Sketchbook, MangaStudio, and Illustrator... all of which I can't seem to get a nice flow of line or the appropriate thick and thins as I desire. Thanks for any suggestions.
ReplyDelete384: It's photoshop!
