INTRODUCING SHINE

I finally did it after like 3 hours. The comic book paper helped a lot because of the rulered paper and the thick bristol board.  It took a lot of planning, measuring and erasing. 

TURN AROUNDS

WOW, this is a lot harder than I thought.  To create a 360 view of a character using lines is very difficult.  If you don't set measurements and reference points its almost guarnteed to come out looking different. The slightest line out of place can make your character look too old, too young or even a different race.  The bottom one is crooked but I almost got it, I think I'm ready to try it bigger on some comic paper.

CHARACTERIZATIONS

Hello everyone! I'm currently working on my first comic book. It's been over a year since I last attempted to make a full length comic book.  I think the reason was my lack of confidence when it came to my art skills.  I always felt like I wasn't ready to make a comic book, I always felt like I needed more practice.  Truth be told, I've been practicing my whole life, I've decided this year no more practicing, only create finished work whether I like it or not.  I've realized over the years that my art work will never be perfect, but what it can be is consistent.

So far the comic book has been going well, no I haven't actually started any pages yet , but I have a story written by me and my good friend Charles Sutter, and I finished the majority of the thumbnails.  The only thing that I haven't quite figured out is exactly what every character is going to look like, especially the main character.  I'm trying to design someone that has distinct character, someone you can instantly recognize like Superman.  The problem I seem to have is that he doesn't have a mask, so I'm having trouble creating a good face that's not too generic. I've always been good at creating bad ass looking characters full of confidence and testosterone.  With this character he's not so bad ass, he doesn't always win and he doesn't always do the right thing.  He puts me in the mind of Peter Parker because he's not invincible but he has his bad ass moments.
