I hope you all enjoyed Harry And Silvio. I finished it up over Christmas and enjoyed doing it a lot. I've scripted the next one and plan to put one out whenever I have the time. At some point I'd like to compile them into a mini comic and sell it on Etsy. I actually started doing mini comics and it's a medium I love revisiting. Now that I have some free time on my hands I've started working on some new stuff : A couple of book proposals, a new send out and some personal work. I've been hard at work on the Twelve Brothers proposal. I have the main character designed and I've sorted out the story board. If anyone has any advice on book proposals I'd love to hear it.
I just read Illustrating Children's Book by Martin Salisbury published by Barrons. It's actually really good. With some great sketches by the fantastic Alexis Deacon. Here are a couple quotes from the book I really liked. The first is on drawing from life and the second is on style, a couple of topics that are pertinent to my blog: " The stronger the drawing (from life ) , the stronger the foundation for experimentation. "
and " Style is a word other people use to describe your work."
The sketches above are from my sketch book. The lamps are down the street from me, every year my neighbor fills up his window with vintage lamps and takes it down at epiphany. My wife took the picture.
P.S. I've added a web comics link list above my archives and I'll be keeping any new comics there.
