Another attempt at inking Sody

Some studies

More sketches

I have some work at the moment, so I will wait to have more spare time to continue with the inking. I can do some sketches though. I wanted to know if I was learning to draw the characters a little better by tracing them in illustrator. There are probably some different proportions here and there but I guess I come up with better George-s now...First page of sketches was drawn over another rough-er page of sketches where I drew more construction.

Some Sody

This time I inked a couple of Sody's drawings. When I'm working in a little scale the lines seem thicker, maybe I should remember to use thicker brushes in bigger drawings...

Inking Jimmy...again

Ok, my first drawings most of the lines a little too thick and the ones in the previous post perhaps weren't thick enough. I decided to imitate one drawing that has already been inked so I could get a better idea and that's the result. The original one has some better decissions like making the arms more separate to the body (wider arms) and the cheek on our right looked better, among other things, but I'd try to apply this thicker lines outside with thinner things inside in my next attempts.

Here is the original. Incidentally I inked the pencil drawing, of course. I just took a look to the inked one while doing it. I made the smile line thicker cause John said it was thicker in the original.

Inking scribbles

This time I inked some of the scribbles John has just posted in his blog. I don't know if we're supossed to ink those, since I guess they should be cleaned up before, or at least some of them should. I actually had more fun with this cause it was not perfectly drawn already and there was some room for interpretation. Also this one in particular I though it was a very, very funny drawing. I didn't make it on separate layers, but now I'm just trying to get better lines. I just realized George's eyebrows are frowned in the original sketch. It was a little hard to guess.


Here is another scribble I just inked, I made each character in separate layers, but I guess I should also separate head from bodies if this was a serious attempt. Maybe Sody should wear earings too? Lines in Sody's shape could be a little thicker to be closer to George's ones.
