Experiment
« on: 23 January, 2012, 01:21:45 PM »
Hello,

Set myself a little test.

When it comes to drawing, I'm pretty slow. Not at the actual drawing bit just the journey I take to get there - overthinking positions, story telling and then I find I always end up going back to the first idea I had anyway. Like a woman shopping ;)

Anyway, just as an experiment ,I decided to try and speed things up a bit.

Came up with an idea, no script and thought I'd just go for it.

The work is on A4 Photocopy paper, inked with a pentel brush pen and then coloured (if you can call it that) in PS. tHE 1ST Page took 20 mins and the following three took roughly an hour and half each.







Just a bit of fun, learned quite a bit though.

Cheers!

Very cool stuff, has a somewhat Jeff Lemire vibe about it.

Hey,

Here's todays effort, took about 2 hrs from start to finish.

Like I said, no script just playing with the idea and seeing where it goes.

The story telling is great.  I have two plots vying for attention in my head when looking at the pictures. Neither has won yet so are quite vague.

In the first he is the obvious, Invisible Man.  Just wandered away from his life and found a quite nowhere to hide out for a bit.

In the second he is a supernatural entity there to help someone. Possibly not either of the two gents present... though he has a use for them.

The indoor and outdoor scenes are great. I evaluate any fictional environment's effectiveness on whether I would like to be in it, or out of it ... if it leaves me going MEH, then it's not worked for me.

I definately DO NOT want to be in that snow-storm, and that inn looks damned inviting. I wish I was there now!  :D

This is good  :)
It's the storytelling, and the little touches. The way the figure breaks the panel borders in page 1. And the dark blue background - it suggests the cold. The same thing for the background of page 4 - that suggests the warmth of the tavern. And the way we leave the scene on page 7. That's intrigue.
