Hidden Influences

India Ink, Colored Pencil

  It's funny how artists subconsciously absorb their surroundings and let it influence their work. I was going through a creative dry spell for a while. Two days ago I went to a local tattoo convention. Being around so many artists with so many styles punched me in the creative gland, and I was itching to draw when I got home.
  This image immediately popped into my head, and I had to make it happen. I don't know where the gas mask idea came from. I didn't see any gas masks at the convention. The convict influence definitely came from my fiance's recent obsession with police and prison documentaries. Overall I really like this, and had a good time letting it out.

Here Comes...

I've done plenty of drawing, not so much posting. Hey Hey Here's Daredevil!

Cartooning

Now that my semester of generals is over I'm getting time to draw again. Been drumming along to Ivan Brunetti's course-in-a-book: Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice.

A few single panel cartoons from one of the "homework" assignments. The guidelines were to limit it to one line of dialogue, or none at all. And dialogue was to be in a caption, not bubble. Also it was noted to pay attention to placing black objects in harmony to guide the eye through the composition. The goal was also to not necessarily be funny, but more to express a whole story or concept within a single panel.
