Umbrella Girls 2

Well it’s Super Bowl Sunday. The most sacred holiday of the year for some. And to honor the importance of the day we celebrate by bringing back the motobasturd umbrella girls doing what they do best on a day as important as today.  KEEPING THE BEER COLD!

It seems I’ve been at this Web comic thing for a year now. Sometimes it’s been hit and miss with trying to get a toon up on a regular basis. I’ve wandered in some different directions as far as how to approach making the art, either on paper, or electronically with a sketch pad (wacom tablet) and even tried a composite approach. I always end up back at the drawing board with the real pencils, pen and ink and paper. I’m going to try some new approaches to the electronic drawing and see how they work. I’ve got to admit being 54 years old I’m still struggling with the computer stuff. I did find a cool program for doing quick sketches, not sure if it will find it’s way into the comic production but it’s fun to play with. This is a sketch of Big O I did on Sketchbook Pro. I’m beginning to like how you can sketch loosely with this program, adding loose color and all. I’m also working on another program to try and produce some animation shorts of the motobasturds, but that’s another post. Hope you enjoy the sketch, I’ll try to post some of the other characters also.
