(Please give me a rating!)I’ve only just noticed that the “Animal Hair Cutting Salon” I thought I’d seen hereabouts is actually the “Akmal Hair Cutting Salon” but written in a squiggly font. Quite sad really.

(Please give me a rating!)I was sitting in a cafe wondering about doing a new animation. I started this story-board* just to see what might happen. I like the basic idea but I can hardly bear the thought that the character has to go through all this whilst, erm, unrelieved.

*story-boarding — torturing your readers by showing them poor-quality stuff you just happened to draw in a cafe, when it doesn’t even have a proper ending.

Three Little Pigs – AT124
Three Billy Goats Gruff – AT122E
Three Bears – AT171

(2 votes, average: 3.50 out of 5)Well, this is another comic as a result of Adam Murphy’s excellent comic class. We were given fifteen minutes and the text “the thatch above their heads” to make a comic. I redrew the whole thing over the weekend and had a play with some shading techniques Adam showed us a few weeks ago. Here’s the original, white-hot, off-the-top-of-the-head, 15 minute version:

(Please give me a rating!)This is the comic I made on Wednesday evening at Adam Murphy’s excellent comic class. The title was picked at almost-random by Adam from a novel, and then we had a strictly limited time to conceive and draw a comic. We did a few in this way, with time limits ranging from leisurely 20 minutes down to frantic 2 minutes.
The comic above is my final effort of the evening, clocking in at 15 minutes, and goes to show just what you can do given a big fat pen, limited drawing skills, a puerile sense of humour and no shame. I think Terry Gilliam may have done this one before.
