The first illustration is for my friend Clark’s going away party.
I did a few concepts for this event but this was by far the best and the one that Clark went for in the end.
It started as they all do with a tight pencil piece and then I inked it with tech pen and marker. I took it into Photoshop and did the coloring with my wacom tablet and finally placed it into InDesign and did the lettering there.
This next piece was done for an article for a webzine. I’ll post the link when I eventually find out what it is.
It was a fun, quick project, and went through the a similar work flow as the illustration for the going away party.
I used a free comic book font called Evil Genius and built the balloon myself in Illustrator however instead of InDesign.
I like little projects like this, they’re fun and give me a little break from comic book art.
Developing my style a little more these days and trying to speed things up from the initial pencils to finished inks. Starting to consider eliminating the tight pencil stage and going to brush inking to give things more energy. However at this moment my ability with a brush is kind of rubbish and that will be the biggest hurdle to leap if I decide to go forward with that approach.
Brush ink does however look far better than tech pen and marker…
