I’m going to be using dip pens for a small side project, but I was REALLY out of practice. This page was both a warm-up exercise and an excuse to draw Mirai and Kako in a different medium than usual! Man, drawing a whole comic page ON PAPER…crazy!

It’s been a little quiet over here while I figure out what’s next for this book. But Chronin is still taking up a huge portion of my brain, even as it waits for the next step! Here’s a sketch I did in Paper on my iPad over the holiday, to break the radio silence! It was getting a little intimidating….

I had to kill some time at Tekserve today, so I played around with one of their giant Cintiqs and ended up with a sketch I really liked! I emailed it to myself and used it for iPad painting practice. Picked up a stylus a couple days ago and it’s helped a lot with the detail work.

Finger-sketching Mirai on my iPad while I wait for Photoshop to crunch through huge batches of finished pages. Sometime tomorrow I’ll be sending PDFs out to a few friends for proof reading before moving on to the next stage of trying to get this book out the door. Exciting stuff! Also pretty nerve wracking!
