Figure Drawing session

These sketches were between 1-5 minutes I used Charcoal and marker.

Todays Sketchy 2016

Today's Sketchy is a daily sketch journal I started back in 2014 and have kept up for the last three years. At the end of each day, or sometimes at the start of the next, I will sketch the things, people, and events that made that day what it was for me. Because I am a visual person I am able to look back and spark a very special memory of each day from these drawings. At first, I was just going to do it for one year but now its part of me and my day to day life.

I also made a video of each day, there's nothing new in it, it's just a simple 3 minute way to 'watch' my year.

Each day is drawn using pencil, ink, and markers. Each page is 5.5"x3.5" A few of the pages here look discolored or altered and that is because I scan them throughout the year and different scanners have different default settings.  

Here is my year by month, enjoy.

Code Name: PROJECT TURTLENECK

Sooo, I've been working with a friend, Kris, on a future project, and we recently sent a pitch package to a publisher with hopes of getting a grant to kick-start our project financially and get us underway as Comic Creators.

For now it is titled "Project Turtleneck" for obvious reasons.

For our pitch we had to produce 5 pages from the story, so here are the sample pages, pages 10-14 from the script.

If you click on one of the pages, it will enlarge to full screen viewing.

I have also included the process below.

Planning and original pencil thumbnail

I then scan my thumbnails to add detail digitally to become my Breakdowns

I did the background perspective in Manga studio separately.

I then placed a cheap paper over top of these breakdowns and proceeded to traditional penciling.

I printed my pencils out in blue line on to Bristol and inked over them, here are the raw scans.

And then the final treated black and white inks, with letters above at the top.

We will be making this project regardless of if we are awarded the grant. It might take longer without the financial backing, but it will happen... eventually.
