The Adventures of Beau Wright

edited May 2012 in Artist's Corner
So I got a new sketchbook and wanted to track my progress with community commentary. I just now realized there was a forum for the comic I've been reading since I got the internet.

First page, filled with random floating nonsense, Adventure Time, and what I'm now assuming is Samurai Jack.

Life stuff and two Indian girls? I think I was watch Utena.

Body stuff that i drew people over, also the moment i figured how hands worked.

    I think those hands might be a bit big, or the wrists a bit too small, but you've definitely got your own style showing through most of this. Keep going.

    Are you drawing with a super hard pencil? The inks look nice, but the pencils have a bit of a dissolved look. If thats what you are comfortable sketching with, thats fine, but you may want to try some other pencils. I also hate the paper in those pads, its like newsprint. Strathmore makes a top down book with heavier paper, I think, but it may be spiral bound.

    Yeah, I'm using a 2H, and I usually go over my sketches with a Prismacolor Ebony pencil, just not these. It's funny cause Rhodia is like my favorite kind of small pad. Cheap and smooth, like 4 dollars with vellum paper. I can't afford anything bigger or heavier. 18 with no job, and all.

    Well you are off to a solid start! I didn't start drawing till I was 18 as well and you're doing much better than me at that time :)

    There's definitely a lot of Gabe influence on your drawings there mate. Some of that stuff is super solid page 2, center, looking to the left for one :)

    edit: I'd say most of it is looking pretty good.

    My dog when I was a kid was called Beau, he was my best friend, and your drawings have potential, so you're okay in my book.

    I want to draw comics, mostly. I'm probably going to send panels over to Image at the end of July, to keep me on call. By then I'll be confident in my backgrounds and perspective. I would say a video game concept artist but I don't care for painting. So, illustrator, comic artist.

    Looking good. One crit would be the shine on Robin's mask. It lines up to close to his eyes which are also plain white. A streaky shine might work better there to keep them separate.

    The eyebrows, horrible posture, and oddly placed ears were on purpose. Anything else was probably a mistake. Also my Gabe-biting is at an all time high.

    Great success so far. Maybe you'd want to turn down your brush flow to 15% or something like that, avoids the aliasing.

    I really love the confidence you seem to have in your lines. Very nice. Your figures could use a little more structure, theres some weirdness in them that makes it look like you are constructing all the parts independent of each other. Make sure clothing isn't getting in the way of you seeing the anatomy.

    Love your faces and colors, though. Keep posting!

    Working with more children's book type stuff, and it's quickly becoming my favorite way to do lines and colors.

    m3nace, the brush I used for it just sort of does that so I switch to a different square brush until I can figure it out.

    Iruka, thanks I think it's the way I do the lines after the sketches, I'll work on it.
