Hoooray! I took the leap and decided to go ahead and print up a collection of the ink drawings I did last year for inktober. Pretty soon I'll have a children's book following, and another following that. Get this stuff now! So you can have them before they become cool :).
My main man Wood had going through the photoshop machine and has got the full color workup. Keeping the palette a bit more subtle and not quite over the top kid like. Hoping to have a greater appeal. He is just a down home good time fella.
Revisited the drawing of the character Jessie, whoops Ja'Shae. Toy story in on of my favorites so I thought I'd throw some lines at these characters. I'm sure I'll color both, not sure If I'm gonna do a Buzz revisioning. Cleaned up the
art. I'm looking to do an African American interpretation that don't have some sort of 'Hood' or 'Gangsta' feel. I'm not judging, just say thing there are other spectrums to the character of Black people than hip hop.
Revisited the drawing of the character Woody err, Wood. Cleaned up the art. I'm trying to resist the temptation to do some color work. Then again I wasn't planning on cleaning up the art on this, but you know how it goes, that first line of ink is the last line of ink. I'm thinking that first spot of color will end up the same. Hang in there people!
The concept is still along the lines of
flirting/advancements un warranted. Ultimately the guy goes in for a
kiss, gets rejected, begins tearing up, then scoots out the shot. I wanted to test my idea and poses, and I'm going through now and re-thinking some of the beginning as it goes a bit fast and is unreadable. I also changed the staging a bit.
#inktober 25:
This guy has been exploring the wrong spots! POW!
