As part of the layout process for my comic strip, Bug Pudding, I make character pose sketches. I work both traditionally with pencil and paper as well as digitally using SketchBook Pro, Illustrator, and Photoshop. (more on the process steps in future posts). Here are some recent sketches for the strip. These were drawn on paper and scanned into the computer. I typically rough sketch in non-photo blue and clean up using a darker color either blue, green or red. Additional clean up and adjustments are made during the inking phase in Illustrator.
A sketch of Clive, a swamp bird.
A sketch of Monroe, a turtle.
A sketch of Renato, a lizard.
A sketch of Slippery, a frog.
