This last week I’ve been drawing a little. I’ve mostly worked on my webcomic and my arm has not been particularly hurt by it. I also sat down these last two days to practice a bit with the G-pen. I still need to learn how to control it better and how not to grip the damn thing so tight when I use it. So I sat down and did two exercises: inking without a sketch to follow and using a marker to do quick sketches that I later inked.
Inking from scratch is hard. Some hilarious proportions are bound to show up.
I think the cameraman is being eaten by a cat.
Uhh- volumes.
Playing around with that marker was actually kind of fun.

I do the same thing…I actualy ended up like pulling a muscle in my wrist or something, and also my shoulder because of it…
gotta take a chill pill and relax while you’re drawing heh
Ouch, that sounds like it would hurt a lot. I think the trick is to practice with the tools (especially with nib-pens) a lot so you get used to drawing the lines you need. When it comes to nib-pens you need precision if you’re going to ink a sketch and I compensate for that precision by holding the pen too hard. Well, I guess awareness is the first step to solving the problem, hahah.
Tja Alek! Diggar regnbilden jättemycket! Bakgrunden känns väldigt närvarande trots suddigheten, svårt att få till det där. Men du har klaffat det alldeles rätt tycker jag!
Hahah, tackar. Det är nog en bieffekt av att ha läst en Eisner-bok när jag var hemma i eskilstuna. Man kan säga vad man vill om Eisner, men bra tekniker hade han gott om.
