Well, for my first sketch of the day, it is somewhat simple, but I thought I'd introduce you on what I enjoy drawing and what I hope to achieve. I am a cartoonist. I love cartoons and comics! I have been fascinated with it's various styles, cultural background, the simpleness and/or the complexity of the creations before my eyes. We see them everywhere in our society: In newspapers, TV, textbooks, theaters, newsletters, the walls in an alleyway. They are able to do anything and can convey any message you want, such as the violent time of the holocaust in Art Spiegelam's MAUS, or as simple Italian food joke in Jim Davis's Garfield. I am fascinated in the digital aspect that animation and cartooning has gone so far and where they might go in the future. If one looks at a modern cartoon on TV right now, the cartoon they are seeing before them has been developed on a computer. The inks, coloring, and layout have been recreated digitally. The scene of web cartooning and the various processes that entail with it has been a subject of interest to me as of late. The crew of Halfpixel.com have catered to this growing cartooning field and have shown how one can be successful to accept technology to make their work easier and more creative all at the same time.Anyways, back to my drawing. I had created this quick sketch of myself all digitaly in Photoshop. With my trusty Wacom tablet, I am able to do everything from laying out a design, to a sketch, to a final ink layer without any actual paper, pencil, and ink at all. I have been working on a webcomic for some time now, and although it is not completely finish, I hope to keep learning this digital practice. Here is a sample of one of my previous webcomics that I have worked on digitally:
I find it great and exciting that cartooning is taking this turn, and I hope to learn more to enhance my work to something you might just see famous one day! :) Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy my sketching in the future!
