Not me, but my friend Matt. He's a lovely bloke, and not a bad scribbler.

Work in progress. Let's volunteer for a comic they said, it will be fun they said.

Of course it takes way longer than all of us thought but you can only learnt by doing :)

Makes u realise how hard Studio Ghibli et al worked. 😎

Art is hard work :)

But renumeration is hard to get too :/

So yeah working in IT is it :)

Looking good - what's the story?

I have a friend who contributed some pages to Bartkira. I think he really enjoyed it - it's a pretty weird and wonderful project!

Cool, it's some sort of "everyone does a few pages" project isn't it?

As the styles vary a lot.

It's a sci-fi script from another guy, not sure I can share much but if it goes public I will post the link. Looks we may not get time to shade it, everyone has full time jobs.

At least with a hobby work you can pick your own methods etc. I think a lot of stuff these days is digital due to deadlines... but after a day at the PC I prefer good aul honest ink/lightboxes.

Yeah, the styles are pretty diverse actually - it's surprisingly engaging to read through.

I used to do digital illustration (photoshop + Wacom ) for speeds sake and it felt like a compromise, but since I've got a cintiq tablet, I've found I can achieve a lot of what I could in paint, graphite etc on the computer. I still love to do things 'properly', but with work and a small person to look after, I rarely find time to get stuck into something like that.

I still do colour on the computer the way you use it.

But I have started looking into marker art (Copic) and ink (le manfriend gave me some great pens ping me if you want to know about them) and see can I get a part digital (for annoying boring stuff and small corrections) and mostly analogue workflow.

My cheap epson prints on Marker paper...and I can draw over it. So that's a good start.

Do you have an Instagram? I wouldn't mind seeing more of your stuff.

Have you tried a cintiq? I was quite resistant to it to begin with, but I sort of 'get it' now. My analogue and digital work were always stylistically quite distinct (to me), but now I can get them to gel a lot easier.

O hay, never seen this thread before

Oh I like that big one :D

That style may work very well for you I think

Tx ^_^

No instagram or Twatter... but I am on facebook I have stuff on there and can load more things now that I have time again. So if you are on bakebook let me know will ping you my name on there :)

Beware of the occasional political rant/comments I try to avoid them on my wall though ;)

I have a nifty Lenovo with digitizer screen and big A4 tablet. The kit is there, I think it's really being behind a PC that puts me off a bit.

But I do colour work on the computer. Have to get use to laptop atm, as it's a free program [krita not bad actually] and the screen feels different.

Fuck Facebook, post more stuff in here.

Will do, I won't put too much in here though don't want to spam the thread so will post the "good stuff" :)

An oldie :)

Very east European vintage mad scientist :)

Doodle day

To any doubters of digital drawing/painting... Go and demo a wacom mobile studio pro. Very nice, very spend. But very very nice. If you draw for a living I think it's worth it.
Budget version is ipad pro and astropad linked to a mac but there's issues with that, and still not cheap!
That said,markers, paper and ink is expensive too.

I have a Lenovo yoga x1. 14" full wacom active pen screen.

Also dear but also a reasonably powerful laptop with a keyboard as it folds over.

Ironically not had much time to use yet 🤔

Wacom Bamboo gets me by. Wicked cheap and just about meets my needs. However, I mostly hand draw then scan work in.
Here's something I'm currently working on
