The word "soon"..... is flexible for different peoples expectations Do you mean this is pencil?? That already looks inked! Amazing. Silly question, but what type of pencil is that? Mechanical, 2b lead? If it is inked, what type of inking tool does he use? Do you actually do anything with these? or complete stories? It seems like a professional publication already. I don't know much about Spike Milligan, but it seems like a parody based on him? Definitely leads me to want more. Especially the process from inception part.

bronze_rules Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Continuing to think out loud... Today is one of those days where I just cannot get my brush to cooperate at all. Times like this, I just want to throw it away and start over. I really applaud the old brush inkers for their consistency. I think if you are tired or having a bad day, it shows in your art! Lastly, while I used to fully blame myself, and plenty of bitter professionals will be quick to say it is just you, I found plenty of evidence showing that art tools are just getting crappier. I was reading a fairly recent interview with Sal Buscema... he said he could not get the modern brushes to work right and switched to marker type pens. I see a lot of professionals go that route. Well, one last thing I’ll share. I once read Dan Adkins say that Wally Wood tought him to burn the tip of a brush and he’d get whispery thin lines. I tried it once and destroyed the brush. My progress today reminds me of Bill Everett’s (faithful inks) over a scratchety Ross Andru rendition of the Defenders in Marvel Feature 1. Stan was upset about that one.

Popular Post drewincanada Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2019 I haven't posted in this thread in at least a few years. Actually I haven't posted on the forum at all in a year or so. Here are a few portrait commissions I've completed in the last six months. Both are oil on canvas. obiedagod, Senormac, kav and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you dont feel the drawing spirit nothing you can do about it. Havent felt like drawing myself for like 6 months. Aside from a few portraits for kids. Those I never get tired of. Comics tho-I will never draw another comic page the rest of my life. The mere thought of it makes me puke. 1950's war comics, FoggyNelson and bronze_rules 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
