I’ll be at Genghis Con November 26

Friends near Cleveland, Ohio! I’ll be tabling at Genghis Con Cleveland Sunday, November 26!

This event is free and open to the public. If you’re in the area, stop by to get some Doctor Baer sketches, signed copies of Science Comics: Rockets, or the Warren Commission Report. The holidays are here, and comics make a great gift.

Oh and I’m leading a free comics workshop there from 3:30-4:15! Check out their website for more info.

More Procreate Exploration

I’m still searching for a brush that gets the same look as my brush pens on watercolor paper, but maybe I don’t need to. Procreate might be a good tool for penciling/concepting and possibly digital painting. More playing around, more testing. But I do like this new shot of my little sage/Quatermass/Van Helsing hero.

Learning Procreate

With a loaner iPad Air I’ve been working on learning the app that so many of my friends are using for their comics and sketching. And it’s pretty neat! It wasn’t obvious to me how I could adapt the process I’ve come to lean on in Clip Studio Paint, but over time (and with the help of my students), I’m starting to figure out how it might work for me.

And I have to admit, the drawing experience on the iPad is pretty great. The 6B pencil in Procreate on the iPad is the next best thing to working with paper.

I see what they hype is about! I just need to practice and experiment a bit more to see where this might fit into my workflow and whether I might be able to include this in my classes.
