“Carrier” Sketches.
February 7th, 2007 Ahmad Al-MahirI finally got my account back and updated my credit card details so we’re back in business!
As promised, here are a couple of sketches done for that comic project I’m collaborating on. The 3 kids are main characters in the story (which I’m not at liberty to reveal at this point in time) and the other image is a draft layout of one of the pages. I sketched them small on an A5 sketchbook just to get a feel for the characters and layouts. I’m trying to go about creating the artwork in a method commonly used by the professionals - churn out lots of thumbnails before drawing on the big boards. In this case it’ll get translated to A4 for submission. It’s definitely a challenge for me coming up with layouts that flow along nicely and provide maximum impact. Then I have to try and fit all that graphics and text into those tiny panels! I’m having a blast with the whole process though. Good fun! It’s all part of the learning process anyways, right? Enjoy!
As usual, comments are most welcome!
