A few more of the Llewellyn Witches Companion Interiors, which I’ve been doing on the iPad, at a relaxed pace over the past few months (as I work on other book projects concurrently). One more in this set to go, and I should have some more samples from other projects to post in the near future.
More Llewellyn Witches Companion Interiors. Since I had such a long lead time on these, I’ve been spacing them out to one finish per week (while I work on other book projects in the meantime). Been making a transition to doing work on the iPad using Procreate (but it still involves a certain amount of prep-work in Corel Painter, and finish work in Photoshop at this point). Things have been picking up around here after a very slow summer and fall, with a few magazine assignments over the next few weeks, plus additional book projects.
Each week, I’ve been concentrating on one Llewellyn “Witches Companion” interior illustration, working on the iPad in Procreate. Here’s the illustrations from the past two weeks. Meanwhile, I’m also working on two projects for Penguin’s “Who Was” series, and am awaiting the go-ahead on two other book projects that have been in limbo for a couple months. I’m continuing to plug away at the “Mose Goes Walkies” project (link in the menu above), and have so far completed over 150 strips.
Been using the iPad and Procreate more and more these past few weeks, especially for finished illustrations. This one above was the 2nd of several illustrations I’m working on for Llewellyn’s upcoming ‘Witches Companion’ annual. I’m still working out the bugs in this new software, but I’m enjoying the feel of the drawing materials, and am looking forward to trying the Penguin finishes in this manner (even though it might mean a little more prep work on the front end, at least in the early stages, until I figure out how to streamline operations).
Been quite a while since I’ve posted. Been working on a lot of book projects lately, some of which are still in the sketch phase, some are ‘on hold’ awaiting further information, and some I can’t share for contractual reasons. I’ve been experimenting with working on a new platform, using my iPad and an iPencil and Procreate to draw many of my “Mose Goes Walkies” comic strips, and the other day I decided to try my first ‘scratchboard assignment’ on the iPad. This one was one of several I’ll be doing for Llewellyn’s upcoming ‘Witches Companion’ Digest over the next few weeks. There are several bugs to work out, but so far so good.
For those who have just arrived, or have not been following the blog, I have started doing a daily comic strip in conjunction with an Instagram site called “Mose Goes Walkies”, which started around the beginning of June. If you are interested, there is a link above in the menu to take you to the official website.
