The Process pt. 1

Well, working on pg. 9...still. Haven’t had a lot of time to tackle it the past couple of days, but I would put it at a 89% completion. Mainly the background is the beast of it. So, I thought I’d take this time to actually talk about the process I use when drawing this thing. First of all, anytime someone watches me work I get the “what the fuck are you doing?” reaction. I use a laptop to do all my work, and I use the little nipple in the middle. That’s right I like the nipple. My mouse crapped out 5 years ago and I never spent the $10 to replace it. I got used to drawing with the nipple, and I’m pretty damn good at it. I do all my “inking” in Illustrator; I’m a sucker for the vector art, and the point manipulation is easy to use and modify. Doing everything in layers allows me to pencil something loosely then throw it in and “ink” over it. Sometimes it does take a bit longer to do anything too detailed, but the result is something I’m very happy with.
