sketchbook: August 2010 Archives

I didn't get around to doing the Tuesday Sketch last week since I was so busy with the actual comic and with doing the Cosmos for last weekend (Max was on vacation) plus this weekend was my birthday so i was preparing for that. But I wanted to make sure I got it in this week. 

This week's theme was summer, and for some reason the first thing that came to mind was volleyball for me. Maybe just because I like drawing women better than men. 

Anyway, I decided to do this week's sketch in Manga Studio, much like I did the Cosmos, mostly to practice my digital inking (which is coming along but still definitely needs work. To touch it up I decided to do it in color again, and in fact a more realistic coloring job than I generally do with Cosmic Hellcats itself. I like to keep Hellcats simplified and cartoony (which granted is how I draw anyway) and so I try to minimize shadow unless it really matters.

Anyway, here's what I did. Enjoy.
