Black & White ideas
Saturday, July 18, 2009 at 10:30PM
While I'm waiting on prices for my 300 page monster, I've already decided what my next book will be and have started pieces for it.
Everyday I will do a quick sketch on 8.5x11 with pen or brush, or both only. No pencil, so set up, no real plan. I'll draw what comes out. Some will work, some won't, but you'll get to see them all. The only tweaking I will do is add tones digitally to add a little depth to the work. I'm going to try to keep each sketch to about 30 mins.
Here is the first experiment done with brush and digital tones.
Enjoy.

Sounds good bro! ...and 300 pages?!? Yikes!
awesome idea.
YES!! Great idea Skottie! But you inform too soon, not i also can´t wait for this book too!! Nee.. n... need ... J... Junk... book... now... must... hav... have it... now :)
It would be great if you found some way to capture some of these quick sketches on your ustream. I love the sketches you do so far digitally, but would be even more interested to see your technique with the brush pen on paper.
Jim Lee has a couple videos. I think he just ghetto rigged a web cam over his shoulder or something.
boo yeah!
Dude, that looks hot. This is not using Sketchbook pro, I take it.
Hey Skottie, will you be going to SDCC this year?
Well, the first one looks great... I love that "pulp" spirit of this one... waiting for the other 299... :)
That's HOT! I love your brushwork! Very cool man, I can't wait to see what else you come up with.
Hey skottie when we gonna get another draw block? it's been a few weeks man?
And yeah it would be raw if we could get some draw blocks or other ustream of at least some of these. I understand not wanting everyone to see everything before it comes out, but maybe you could just stream it live and not record it and only do some of them or something.
No worries
You could always sell your blog sketches at cons on the cheap for the collector w/ moths in the change purse. Just a thought.
Keep being a bad a-word.
Can't wait for this. It's going to be a real task.
This sounds dope man, cant wait to see it. Saw youre work on the Wiz of Oz joint.DOPE!
