End of June 2026 Comic diary and sketches
I drew this comic diary out at the breakfast table one morning. Just sitting down and remembering what's been happening helps me get my head in order and away from the screen! This time I was using the basic pen ink drawing set I was talking about in my last video . It keeps things simple. Using 3 values is good enough to telling a story in pictures. It's kinda like shooting with black and white film- It has it's own look. I'd use this combination if I don't want to think so much and just get to the drawing! Below is the page I showed in the video, scanned without any adjustments. I added a drawing of how I was drawing in the bus with some silly contraption! My wife was amused. If you are wondering about paper choices, I'm using my usual ambassador wove vellum 200gsm paper I ordered from a paper supplier. But that paper supplier has since closed down, so might have to switch to another paper soon.
