I painted this a while ago and have been a huge slacker in getting it posted. I think we will eventually be selling prints of this. Specifically, they should be available at my booth at the Bellingham ComiCon, Saturday, October 24, in Ferndale, WA!
Anyways, I sketched this out at work in bits and pieces. Then enlarged it and transfered it to cold press water color paper, did the water color and then inked it. I chose the cold press because it is smooth compared to the hot press, but when I actually tried to ink it with a nib, it was much more difficult than the hot press paper I used for the inked water color of Umbrella Girl. So I will try more on the hot-press paper.
I was unsure what to draw last night as I antsily waited for Abe to catch up on The Jerks thumbnails so I could finally catch up on the buffer (I like to have 8, which is one month). So I drew these from The Sartorialist.
Yeah cold press paper bleeds. I can't use it for water color at all although some people swear by it.
