Stripped - a documentary about comic strips

When I was much younger, my original ambition was to become a comic strip artist. I am very interested in seeing this film that dives into the medium and how it's evolved. I suspect it may also interest some of you! http://www.strippedfilm.com/

THAT LAUGH! - more delight

Here is some more development on the painting 'THAT LAUGH!'. Next step is the tonal study. (I bet you're wondering what's so funny?)


Tight rough/final rough drawing.

Corrections on the back of tight rough drawing.



Final line drawing. I will blow this up to the same dimensions of the painting and use it to transfer the composition.

THAT LAUGH! - first chuckle

So here is the first look at my newest painting, 'THAT LAUGH!'. The painting is a tribute to who I consider to be the 3 most delirious cartoon personalities to ever grace the silver screen. (Can you guess who they are?)


Enlarged thumbnail sketch stage (composition study)



First refined composition stage. I'll do a few more passes to get the exact tight drawing I want.
