Signal page 1&2

I just finished the first two pages of signal! :D Since I haven't posted much here yet, I thought I'd put them up here first. They're a double page spread. Thought I'd post them up for thoughts + opinions. Obviously I don't want to go back into the page and make giant edits to pose or composition, but small tweaks to colour, tone and shape are fine :) I'm excited to get this finished! Should be done in a month or two *fingers crossed*

For anyone who doesn't know about this project, you can read about it + see some progress shots on my blog.

Sketchbook

I finally got around to scanning some of my crowded sketchbook pages. Most of these were drawn straight into ink, on public transport. They're really a personal reference library for me, and I've found them invaluable lately with my inking. I'd recommend everyone do the same- using their sketchbook not just as a doodle-pad, but a resource for thinks that you like, or suck at drawing.

Gesture

It's been a while since I did figure drawing and it shows... My plan is to go back to basics again, starting with gesture and eventually moving onto form and anatomy.

Gesture looks deceptively simple but is probably the hardest and most important part to grasp. If the gesture is right then everything else just seems to fall into place.
