I spent all day yesterday inking in my blue-pencil roughs for the book I’m working on with Dan. I’ll just show a thumbnail here, because I don’t want to prematurely disclose the contents of the book (not that they’re really secret, and I’m know Dan’s talking about this a lot in his workshops):
This is the most cartoon layout work I’ve ever done: as I kid I was always more interested in drawing characters than putting in backgrounds, frames, or even a story. So this project is a great opportunity for me to step up my composition skills, and I also feel that I’m doing the best illustration work of my life. How wonderful, then, that it’s all going towards something that’s going to be published to a built-in audience that’s bigger than anything I’ve had access to before!
