So after watching my friend Mike do his magic with one, I went out today and got a brush pen. It's cool and sexy and really hard to use. Here's my first attempt, which is sorta like those Find 5 Things In This Picture where the things are mistakes:
Last night was the monthly get together for the Tampa Bay Cartoonist Collective. Here's a couple of my sketches from the night (hey - look! There's a guy in there! I don't know what came over me - I promise it won't happen again):
I love drawing on lined notebook paper and notepads - it reminds me of school when I'd sketch in the margins while taking notes. In retrospect, I should have spent more time sketching and less time take notes - that A on my Red Badge Of Courage paper isn't doing me diddly squat good now. Alas ...
Taking advantage of an MSNBC commercial break for a quick post! Don't know how I'm going to find time to do anything that's not sitting on the couch watching the results for the next 36 hours.
The sketches look much better in Firefox and Safari. If you're in Internet Explorer and they look jagged and/or lines seem to disappear, just click on the sketch to enlarge it and it will show correctly.
