Swirlything: pro cartoonists know how to cover up mistakes, so there is no noticable problems after publication....some of the very best comics artists had loads of white-out/patches on their work. Although it was never descernible once seen in print.

I read in The History of the Beano that David Law once sent DCT a Dennis the Menace strip which had a patch over one of the frames - when the original version of the frame underneath the patch was perfect anyway! It seems strange, because although his style of artwork seemed quite loose, Law is said to have been a perfectionist (by the great Leo Baxendale, amongst others) and this incident seems to confirm that.

Interestingly, I also recently read a book showing lots of original Wallace and Gromit sketches, artwork and storyboards where Nick Park stated that he much preferred drawing with a pen/pencil and paper than with a computer tablet. He said he didn't like the feel of drawing with a tablet compared to putting pencil to paper.

My first-ever tablet Bamboo arrived from Amazon today, Jonny, and I don't know where to start! I'll post back how I get on though, it's uncharted territory for me.

If there's one page from Davey Law that doesn't have at least one patch on it, I'd like to see such a rarity. Davey drew and re-drew time and time again. Sometimes there would be two or even three patches on the same frame, all exquisite, all perfect.
If that's what the History of the Beano says I'm surprised because it's "so reliable".

More doodling...



Deliberately left in the pencil to show that it was drawn, inked, scanned, and photoshop coloured.

This time, with added Photoshoppery*




*That sooooo deserves to be a real word.

Another one, a bit more evil this time....


Done entirely in Photoshop, 50% opacity pencil brush, using Wacom tablet, intentionally to give a scratchy, untidy look.

I presumed he edited his post after realising whatever he'd originally put was wrong.

Oh, ok! Its just i thought it notified you that they edited their post underneath. Must be a different forum

I placed a pic of me working on my first paid cartoon, but changed my mind about showing it......it's on CCGB however.

Hence the 'oops!


The 'oops!' wasn't a reflection on your work, Youthful Freddy, which is cool and impressive.
