I have the goal of drawing two sketchbook pages a day. This is to help get new material for eBook sketchbooks (like the Superhero Ladies sketchbook or the Goth & Punk Girls Sketchbook), and to get better at art-making.
But sometimes, I need a jumping off point to draw from. I can’t draw from my imagination all the time.
I don’t have a review for you today because I’m still reading through a lot of comics.
However, I’ve been doing a lot of sketching.
Mostly I’ve been drawing for the new eBook I’m making, Goth Punk Girls. Here are the new sketches I made for it!
I’ve been drawing a lot of inspiration from the Tumblr Punx of Color, which I definitely recommend you follow! They even feature occasional musicians and zine creators (I love love LOVE zines).
Speaking of punks, though, that reminds me that I should talk about Charlie & Clow for a moment.
I’m going to update a few things on the webcomic site, including adding some more to the FAQ section.
There are new Charlie & Clow comics every Monday via my email newsletter, too! It’s a good way to know what the two monster hunters are up to in between chapters. Here’s the first comic, to give you a taste:
While that’s going on, I’m also doing costume designs for Chapter 2, like this one:
Clow MIGHT be getting a haircut before then though: people keep mistaking him for Roxie, the awesome punk lady in Validation. I don’t like it when two characters from two different stories look alike to me: It makes me think of Same Face Syndrome.
But I’m not sure what new style to give him! If you have any suggestions or ideas, please leave them in the comments below.
Recently I took stock of my daily goals, especially the goal of drawing two sketchbook pages a day.
Earlier this year I said I wanted to do this to make more sketches to put together into more eBooks. But after I finished the Superhero Ladies Sketchbook, I was out of ideas. I stopped drawing for eBooks.
