This was my first drawing in traditional ink and nib pen/brush after working digital for a few months, and it was nice to get back to it. I'm a capricorn, in case you couldn't tell.

Stickers!

I've ordered die cut stickers in this original design: pastel tuxedo cat in a rose flower crown! I'll have them available at Bmore Into Comics on July 23. After that I'll have them listed online, most likely on Etsy.

Brutal Progress

I thought I'd do another "work in progress" type post to show how I work. To be honest there's isn't much to tell, except that I rarely draw finished, beautiful pencils for Brutal.

As you can see some changes were made to panels 3 and 4, but other than that the digital inking was done directly onto the blue sketch. Since Brutal is meant to be something I can fit in between jobs, I often go directly from sketch to inks, though pencils would be a lot tighter on a bigger project. Overall I'm very pleased with how this particular page turned out. Drawing myself is easy, though!
