Indiana Jones On Scrap Paper

A morning warm up sketch of one of my favorite movie heroes Henry "Junior" "Indiana" Jones. Drawn with brush and ink and watercolour and something that kind of feels like a page from a Moleskine notebook.

Still Feels Like Winter Out

Gah! It STILL feels like Winter out there. Last year it was about 25 at this time.

Oh well.

I had intended on selling some prints today but I'm having Paypal issues so you get a bat drawing instead.

Corto Maltese

If you're waiting on a commission, thank you for your patience! It took me a while to get to them but I'm just working on commissions at the moment and hope to have them all finished in just over a week.

Here is a detail of a commission that was a lot of fun to do, Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese. 

Brush Practice

Fox Sketch

Warm up pencil and Photoshop sketch of a fox from earlier today. 

A Lot Of Ink

I finished inking Maddy Kettle on Friday, and immediately jumped into the next thing. And now I'm tired and taking the night off.

So, I'm going to go through the inks over the next week and see if they need any changed before I have them scan and start colouring them. And over the next couple of weeks I'll be devoting myself to commissions, a new print and writing a story.

Spring!

Up North

Some pencils for a an unfinished book.

Ink Clouds

Two pages left to ink in Maddy, the last pages are pretty tough but I've learned how to ink a tough page in two or three days instead of five. 

Last Few Pages

Inking the last three pages of Maddy Kettle, and I should be all done the inks by this weekend.
