Sketch Fridays #82 – “Call Me Home” Page
This is the first time in about twelve years that I’ve drawn an entire page digitally, from start to finish. I think, in the long run, it was faster than how I normally draw comics, but I think for this mini-comic––a story called “Call Me Home” (a piece of concept art was a previous Sketch Friday)––I’m also being less precious because it’s a black & white comic that takes place in the snow and is much more of a tone piece than the plot & continuity-driven story found in Long John. Overall, it’s been a fun muscle to stretch and may be a tool set I use for future comics, though Long John will remain pen and ink on paper through to the end.
Also, it’s really cool that Procreate records a playback of every file you draw, allowing me to continue producing process videos even though it’s all digital:

Fascinating. That was really fun to watch this come together. Remarkable to see for those of us like me who can’t draw a whit! Looking forward to seeing more of your work in 2021. Thanks for sharing … Chris
Thank you for the kind words! There are a lot more of those process/commentary drawing videos if you click through to my YouTube channel (find the link in the top right corner of the website), most of which are me drawing (and talking about) Long John.
