Kung-Fu Fighting...

This is a small sketch is a small section of the first AiTA Sequential Arts club poster that I'll be collaborating with both Brandon McKinney and Dave Lanphear.

PCW #966 - 968

Here are the latest sketches for the past week. The line-up features a subtle insertion of Gabe from Penny Arcade, which is
easily one of the best drawn webcomics I've come across.

Here's the last from today's batch of doodles...

Sketches: 1-03-07

Here are some sketches I drew today, using a Papermate pen. These are excellent pens for doodling and sketching.
These sketches were cut and pasted from various sheets of paper.

PCW # 963 - 965: Sketches!

I had fun revisiting these toons. The concept sketches represent a vigorous reworking of PCW #28, #50 and #161, respectively.

PCW #960 and #961

PC Weenies #960 and #961 sketches for your viewing pleasure.

Live!

At long last, the next incarnation of the PC Weenies website (dubbed PCW 5.0) is now up.

New Glasses: inked and colored

Voila! Bob's new look. He's traded up from a square frame to something that fits him better.

I've photo / screenshot documented my workflow for creating a PC Weenies comic. Click on the image below to see it.

Bob Weiner's new make-over

Over the 8 years that I have drawn him, Bob has undergone a gradual evolution of sorts. The last vestige of his 'original' look are his glasses. I've decided to update his specs to streamline his look even more. This modification came about a few days ago when I began experimenting with the notion of animating Bob using Flash. (I'll try to post some of those tests in the weeks ahead.)

The second version down in the sketch above is Bob's new look. The third one was drawn purely for fun - to show folks that Bob indeed has eyes behind his glasses. Ironically, I never knew what Bob's eyes really looked like until a few months ago.

Sketch: vehicles

I've always been horrible at drawing vehicles. I think its because I've always struggled with perspective. I'm trying to get better at both. Here are some recent attempts that I worked through in my sketchbook today.

PCW #957 - 959

Here are the sketches for Toons 957, 958 and 959. For Toon #959, I have posted a small digital inking demo.

Pen and Inks: Pam

I drew this a few minutes back. Again, not too happy with the inks, but I need the practice.

Traditional inks again...

Thought I'd give it another go with traditional inking...

Bob: Traditional inks

It's been several years since I attempted to hand ink my own pencils. I'm not very good at it, to be quite honest. Nonetheless, I've decided to take another stab at it with the image of Bob you see below, which I drew a few minutes ago.

Sketches for 12-7-06

A few sketches I drew yesterday afternoon....

PCW # 951 - 954

A big update today, because once again, I'm running a bit behind. PCW #954 and # 955 underwent changes from what you see in the sketches above. The others stayed true, more or less, to their final versions.

Pushing the poses...

My drawings are too flat. I need to really stretch things out and move those masses around. Here's a warm-up page from my sketchbook where I've started to focus on that.

A page from my sketchbook

I drew this during class today. The students were busy in the studio, and I couldn't let the opportunity go to waste without drawing something. Here it is, warts and all.
