Busting my Beano, wait- sounds dirty

Was a four pager in the Beano this week, so doubling up on some of the posts. No need to wait, so here are both pencils and finals…

Beano overacting?

Colors to the earlier post, and notice anything different? I thought Mahira’s head was a little big, so I reduced it.

Celebratory Beano fest

Here are the colors to the panel from earlier this week. Freddy is a hoot. 

Doubling down on the Beano

Here are the pencils and colors for the cover to this week’s issue. Covers are a pain, cause they ask you to make all the characters on their…

Mixed bag of Beano

Nothing like a goofy reaction shot. I try to keep the kids from making the same pose, or face, but sometimes mass confusion rules.

Beano put back on the job!

Well, back on Beano for now. Love me some Freddy, he’s just fun to draw.

Sumimasen, are those bugle boy jeans?

More blue line. It really was for the challenge of the drapery/shirt, I swear.  Odd how just changing it to grayscale alters the feel. Perhaps it’s the contrast…

Blue us a kiss

Another blue lead image, and the model in this photo book was a riot. She had this habit of acting like a goofy kid, which made her adorable.

Nice purse you got there, fake lady

More non-life drawings, from another Japanese picture book.

Blue, period!

More sketches from Japanese photo books. I’ve mentioned I love working in this blue lead, and it’s not just the color; but I’m sure that’s part of it….

Back, in the natto groove

Sketching from my Japanese photo books again.

She’s got… ZZTop?

Stuff I enjoy drawing- Coats, long hair, and heels– I don’t know why.

Didn’t go down without a Beano

Roughs for yesterday’s image, and apparently my last Beano for a while. Not sure who I annoyed this time, but… it’s a talent of mine.

Beano looking for a fight?

A tiny detail, but the spots of light thru the colander on Freddy’s head were fun.

Keeping up the chops

More non-life sketches, simple, line, clean, unpaid. Man, I just love that blue lead, and not just for the color; but more on that later. 

Beano feeling a bit rough?

Get it? Cause here are the “roughs” for yesterday’s panel.

Formula Beano Racing

Hard stop in the halls? Lean back to maintain your balance!

Beano Bam and Bash!

The draft for yesterday’s image.

Ferris Beano Day Off

Your weekly Beano bash! Mrs Yodel is a hoot, and reminds me of “Grace” the school secretary (played by Edie McClurg) in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off“. I did…

Just walking down the Beano one day

Here are the pencils to the earlier post. Again, what’s not to love about Freddy?
