Totti (J Francis Totti) & Forpe (Darrell Thorpe) have been streaming their work daily on Twitch:
If you’ve never seen it they chat about all things comics while working on their latest projects Big F@#k off Worms & Baron and the Kat.
Here’s some fan art of the guys drawn in clip studio paint.
#AlienDay sketches drawn in CSP using mostly default inking tools to get those nice chunky inks and colours.. that xenomorph blood sure is acidic!
April sketchdump… swamp guy, mister deaaathhh, dental dude.
Finally watched Primal!
Jared of OK Comics list for the #SixFanArts challenge was too good to pass up, I mean c’mon… Marv and an extinct shark together on one page! Pretty awesome!
I roughed out the basic layouts in procreate before going straight to inks in clip studio paint. I initially added some screentone but later found that greyscale shading just seemed to work better.
I really enjoyed this, a much needed distraction during the last few days.
Been a hell of a month… hope you’re all keeping well, looking after yourselves and each other.
Drawing is my refuge in times like these so I decided to do something for #NationalPencilDay to take a breather, relax a little and get lost in some hatching.
I also drew a quick Buzz Chickson for a #drawthisinyourstyle challenge by Tim McCourt.
and some rough sketches…
Hi Ho! Hope you’re all keeping well, not much happening in the sketchbook atm but here’s a few things from the iPad.
Glass Hood fan art sketches drawn in CSP.
Prey fan art sketches drawn in procreate, tried a few variations of the alien designed by J Francis Totti using different references and approaches.
I followed some clip studio paint tutorials by PJ Holden earlier today:
I picked this up on a weekend break to Cork in 2015 for the Cork Comic Expo (still has the Eason price tag). The tutorials by PJ provide a fundamental breakdown of the techniques required to get started with comics in MS5 and there’s also a longer article later in the mag on How to create your own comic.
Here’s my notes from pages 20-23:
Despite my terrible lettering this has been a really useful exercise, I’ve got a much better understanding of how to colour in clip studio and I just love the simplicity of using less layers and following naming conventions.
If you’re not aware, PJ also has a plethora of fantastic advice and tips on his blog and twitter and I have every intention of trying each one.
In the meantime, I’m gonna go re-read Dept of Monsterology and then drool over PJ’s bits and bobs… er… I mean PJ’s Cork Expo sketchbook.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Quick sketches drawn in CSP using the rough pencil.
I finished this head sketch on a bus ride to Dublin, ridiculously pleased with the lil Venom speech bubble.
I spent WAY too long on this before I realised it wasn’t working.
Yep, it’s Friday alright, hope you all have a good weekend!
Quick sketch for Ian Mondrick’s birthday!
And some abandoned thumbnails for Tomb of the White Horse fan art.
