color

Playing around with the colors for the first page. Also, wanted to rework the pose and design some. Still needs work.

rough page

Well, I'm finally starting my witch comic. It's written by my friend Howard Shum for an anthology he's putting together. Here is the rough for the first page.

My goal is to make a menacing design that is also cool. I think I'm happy with this one.

value study

I'm trying to figure out how to do the backgrounds for my witch story. I think I'll do value studies of all the shots before I go to color.

More designs

I like working in tiny silhouette for character designs some times.

Torso

Anyone who knows me knows that I am constantly studying. Every morning I do studies for at least an hour before I start working. I love animation, so I usually pause DVD’s and do little sketches of what I see. I also take as many classes as I can and go to life drawing about 3 times a week. At night I take out books and do studies as well. Sometimes I want to post little demos on what I’ve learned, but I feel like I’m in a constant state of learning and whenever I think I know something, I always find a better way of doing it later. But, I’ll never know everything, so here is a little demo on drawing the torso. Keep in mind that the first part is the most important. In drawing I try to come up with the simplest forms I can. In most of my work I try to leave the drawing in that big simple form. If you can’t get that right, when you layer all the overlaps and detail on top, it won’t matter.
