Sketches

A quick thumbnail rough lets me and the editor know what I have in mind:

All is good, so I move ahead and draw a proper sketch.  I also have to keep in mind the page gutter, so I don’t place anything important there:

Then ink, colour, and voila! The final piece (above).

Thanks for looking! The mag’s out now, so pick up (get it?) a copy to see the published piece, with gags!

    Funny that Ed replied. I was thinking this looked like Ed’s work, with a dash of Jack Davis thrown in.
