Again, drawing on my tablet, this time using the Autodesk SketchBook Pro app for Android for drawing and colouring each panel. However, I resorted to Gimp on my desktop machine to make the composite. I’m still looking for the perfect comic-making app.
I’ve just finished reading the Taschen Titian book. Did someone say gesundheit?
Today Itchy and Knee examine the problems of masculine identity in the modern world, with special emphasis on the practical aspects with respect to the consumer society and the ready-made garment industry. Not to mention some easy irony.
We were listening to a local rock band playing covers, and I was drawing this comic.
A little girl appeared and asked if she was “allowed” some paper and “allowed” to use the coloured pencils. She’ll be a dress designer one day, she confidently informed us.
I drew her drawing as she drew, mostly from memory as she wouldn’t look up until she’d finished (you can also see my thumbnails for Itchy and Knee’s comic on the same page.) Then her brother appeared and wanted a portrait too. He pulled a face, so I drew it that way.
The 7th and (you’ll be relieved to hear) final installment of this Giraffe Rider series. It’s quite possible that Giraffe Riders will be back one day! Watch this space.
I made this comic on my Android tablet, using Autodesk Inc.’s Sketchbook Pro for Tablets. It’s a little bit fiddly, but I think it came out all right.
I’d like to thank Karen for suggesting the comic.
I’ve no idea if it’s possible to smoothly plié in third. Maybe if you have fuel injection. I just like saying Royal Ballet School of Motoring.
Historical note: Yes, I realise that motor cars no longer look like this.
