Here's a look at another reference sketch I'm using for The Seedlings comic.  All of my characters have their different markings and I once again found myself looking back and forth to my old pages for references.

The Usual Suspects

Just some warm ups I did to get a better idea of what the size differences are between characters.

I'm trying to get a better grasp for the visuals of this without having to constantly go back and forth between the page I'm working on and the pages that I've completed.

I've been doing this since high school and I'm still learning basic stuff.

Seedling Warm Ups

So, here's a few figure attempts to get the figure right for "Seedlings."  I tried getting a good sense of how the body would move with it's slightly different structure.

I have fun doing these. Plus, it helps to loosen up my wrist and fingers so my lines will seem more natural and not so forced.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my pages.

I do all of my pencils and inks on my tablet and here's a screen shot of my pencils.  This is as detailed as I get, since I do my own inks. I'm really enjoying working on this book but it definitely is a challenge as a group book.  There's a lot of different body types and faces to keep track of, but it's a lot of fun.

A New Start

So, there's this little obsession of mine.  I like hands.  Here's a piece of mine I did on my Fujitsu Lightbook tablet.  On Sketchbook Pro.

You're hopefully going to see a lot more activity from me in the coming months.  I've deleted my Facebook account and have reduced my activity on Google+.  I'll be pushing hard to get the first issue of Seedlings finished here in the near future.  There'll be a lit more information coming soon.  But now, I need to draw and watch my Red Wings beat the Anaheim Ducks tonight.

Later.
