Sketchbook: Self-portrait

Barry — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:19:46 +0000

Played around with drawing in black and white on brown paper. I want to find a way of getting sharper lines; I think I need to find some less soft brown paper.

Two More Hereville Title Page Sketches

Back when I was selling the self-published comic book of Hereville, folks sometimes paid extra for their comic in order to have me do a drawing on their title page. (A similar offer is now available for folks who preorder the hardcover book). Sometimes these sketches would be requests, other times I’d just choose a theme myself.

You can see a whole bunch of Hereville title page sketches here on Flickr. And I’ve just now added two more to the set:

The second sketch is below the fold.

Anyway, here are two more of those sketches. You can see a whole bunch of Hereville title page sketches here on Flickr.

And the second one…

Sketch of Mirka’s siblings

Although most of them don’t come up in the graphic novel (which I’m working on, really!), Mirka actually has a lot of sisters. Just one brother, though. Anyhow, I thought this sketch of all the siblings would be fun to post.

Remember, you can own a paper copy of “Hereville” of your very own!

For folks that pay extra, I do a sketch on the title page. Each sketch is different. Here are two sketches I did recently; you can see a bunch more here.

This is my personal favorite of the title page sketches I’ve done so far… there are two more sketches below the fold.

More “Hereville” Title Page Sketches!

Barry — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 07:18:43 +0000

For folks who buy paper copies of Hereville and are wondering what you get if you spend the extra for a title page sketch, here are a few examples….

I’ve been drawing on computer so long, drawing with markers on paper feels very odd. :-)

I’m purposely not erasing all of my pencil construction lines; I always love seeing those in other people’s work (I have a Walt Kelly cartoon on my wall in which his blue pencil lines are very clear, and even show where he changed his mind about panel order).

More title page sketches under the fold…. I’d be very interested in knowing which ones people like and don’t like.
