Well it’s been a few weeks without updates. I actually have a few pages almost finished, this time I just wanted to try to make sure they are a bit more coherent. Not sure if it will work, of course…
I’m having a bit of a conundrum here, well I would if I knew what the word conundrum actually means. Thing is, I’ve tried color with some very nice results but most of the time it doesn’t feel right. I feel I really need to set on a small palette, maybe grays or shades of blue or something. For the time being I decided I’m going a bit back and using shades applied in Inkscape and pencil shading.

Of course, this is in no way related to my day job experiences, it’s just speculation on how life must be for the poor souls that have to work in an environment where things like this could happen.
Honest.

I got a bit distracted 2011-05-30
I have an outline for the next page but somehow got distracted drawing with this graphite pencil. It’s a lot of fun. Pencil doesn’t really translate very well to the screen, so I did the trick with the auto levels of Mac OS X’s preview and it looks better.
The pen is a Cretacolor Monolith, which is particularly interesting because it’s essentially all graphite, no wood, but still feels like a normal pencil.
