Taking some timeout from a super busy show to do some studies, I'd be happy if my comic looked a tenth as good as Berserk.

I realised something today, I needed to give myself permission to make a shit comic. I've been so wrapped up in making it perfect that I've completely stalled. Now I can just get going and embrace the ugly for the sake of progress!

I did this right at the start of the year as part of an exploration into inking.

Had a thought about a Samurai armourer in medieval Europe, and what the armour fusion might look like. Traditional dip pen art.

A knight only draws his sword if he intends to use it!

Another style exploration in pen and ink.

I've figured out a decent workflow and feeling pretty excited to get started on my comic.
Digital rough > trad inks > digital tones

Did this dude a while back while researching armour - and I'm really enjoying exploring this subject in my drawing.

Where has your drawing taken you?!

A couple knights from my sketchbook, drawn with a Twisbi Eco fountain pen. This was a few months back now and sparked my journey back into traditional after years of digital painting.

I love bascinets so much
Drawing of a knight in plate armor wearing a bascinet helmet and a green tabard. He is wielding a two handed pole arm. The artist clearly did not bother finishing the coloring and was only interested in painting the helmet. What a shame.

A recent artwork I did while exploring different inking styles. It also provided a good opportunity to try out my new Kaweco AL sport fountain pen.

Playing around with some armour designs, mostly just as a style test for my on-going comic project.

As I work towards my first comic I'm exploring how to ink foliage and natural scenes. I've been drawing a lot of incredible inspiration from Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein and the Vinland Saga Manga.

Just read Kentaro Miura's Giganto Maxia, it was such a great short story, the artwork is phenomenal! What a master he was - now to continue reading Beserk volume 6

I found this cool reference of a fluted helmet so I did a quick study on my lunch break.

Drawing medieval knights! The European armour from this period is so fascinating #medieval #knight #armour #manga #history #inking #comic #copic #lammy #fountainpen

Manga one-shot in the works! Sharing some initial ink explorations, and a peek at my floor desk setup.

Anyone else a beginner manga/comic artist? I've been drawing for years but this will be my first comic ever.
