More character designs

[avram]

More character designs, along the same lines as yesterday. Corinne, the girl, now has an owl; her little brother Joseph has the raven. (Note to self: Need to Google up some owl photos for reference. And redesign Joseph’s coat.) The gray tones here are Pitt grayscale brush markers.

These are characters for a story that wants to be a physical comic, not a web comic. If I ever get it done, I’ll probably try submitting it to Top Shelf; I’m aiming for a tone not dissimilar to Three Fingers.










And I’ve noticed recently that I seem to be more comfortable drawing sitting up in a sketchbook than at a drawing table. This is probably not a good thing.

What position?

What does "sitting up in a sketchbook" mean?

Um, drawing in a sketchbook, while sitting up. As opposed to bent over a drawing table.

your drawings are so cute!
why is sitting up with a sketchbook bad?

Re: What position?

Just ’cause it discourages me from working on more ambitious pieces, like stuff with formal perspective.

I've noticed the opposite. ater working on a vertical easel, it's harder for me to go back to horizontal or angled surfaces...
