No words can describe this situation. Shock, awe, disgust, I dunno, they don’t do it justice.

I’ve been trying to keep up with my daily drawings for Inktober. Here’s a couple of Lou and Steak.

Been trying to keep up with Inktober stuff but as expected, I’ve fallen behind. Yesterday I posted this piece to Twitter with inks only. Felt like coloring it today.

I wasn’t totally pleased with the way things were looking but I soldiered on because posting comics was more important than character design and no comics. I found the things I enjoy with drawing/illustrating these guys and needed to either simplify or add more detail. So I added more detail to the characters. I’m trying hard to work stronger emotions through the faces with actual eyes and hopefully better use of mouth/face expressions ala John K of Ren & Stimpy fame.
I’ve also doubled the size of each frame to squeeze in this detail give myself a little space to make lines happen a little more freely. It definitely takes longer to draw each panel but I’m pleased with the pencil work thus far. The plan is to play with inking and coloring a little bit before posting these again. I really enjoy the inks and color that Dave Kellett uses with Sheldon so maybe I’ll play with some of those techniques with my bright color palette.
The bottom line is that there is progress. Thanks for hanging in there.

The boys from Engine 11… Coming soon, again. Character design is done. Sketching a few poses, trying out some new inking, add some colors and we are back in business.
