First up, here’s the new versions of the first four pages of the comic. Lot of stuff got changed – couple more edits in the work as well.
Page 4 is obviously in progress. Page 3 needs a tie-piece added to the last panel and some wordage to the wine bottle in the first panel.
Next up, some sketches from a Creative Alliance’s life drawing session. They’re every Saturday at 10, $10 if you’re not a menu, $3 if you are.
As usual, first drawing or two suck. (Got there at the start of the ten minute poses, 5 minutes into the first pose – it ended before I got too far.)
Next couple were a little better.
And after that, I was tired/bored, so the last one was crap.
Here’s a tipsy sketch done of a friend while leisurely (at least at first) a couple beers at the Blarneystone.
BTW, he doesn’t look this rough – I purposefully went that direction since I knew a more nuanced sketch rarely works well when Mr. Jager is looking over your shoulder. Oh, and the “light” spots are do to the scanner not getting along with the faint crumpling the paper got later on in the evening. I’ve decided they look like hazy cigarette smoke, so whatever. (What? You can’t smoke in bars in Baltimore anymore? Sorry, I can’t hear you…)
Last up, two doodles from a meeting at work. The first was the usual random junk that gets scribbled during these affairs; the second is an altogether matter. It started as a simple off-hand sketch of a comic-stylized side-view of an eye – and then suddenly the meeting just went on FOREVER. As the meeting dragged on, I absent-mindedly added a detail here, a detail there, and it eventually grew to the point where I ran out of page. I’ll probably put it in Painter sometime this week and see if I can add the bits I wanted to add but couldn’t, since, well, you know, the paper ran out.
By the way, the next Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School Baltimore life-drawing session is next Monday, September 27, 2010 at the Windup Space.
Best damn life-drawing you’ll find in town. If I wasn’t helping run it, I’d be there drawing. BTW, check out this LAZERBITCH video if you want a feel for what they’re like. (The Windup Space is in there at the end too.)
