weekend sketching..
my good pal sacha http://www.sachaborisich.com was schooling me in manga studio and i wanted to play with some art.
this piece was drawin in manga studio and colored in photoshop.
total hour or so to put together. nothing fancy but fun. no over thinking. just producting thats all.
ive never drew aquaman before. but plan to with new samples for up and coming comicshows.

This pass weekend i was in my first 24 hr comic. Drawing from noon to noon. Im sure u get the idea. But havin to draw 24 pages plus cover (25 pages total)
I completed my comic in 20 hrs. Ive learned alot on drawing on the spot and storys. I by no means a writer. But i will fight tooth and nail sayin that im a storyteller with pictures. I rely to much on others for ideas and push away the idea that i can come up with my own ideas. This 24 hr event taught me alot on myself and confidents. Im not sayin what i completed was DARK KNGHT material or Alan Moore status. I took an idea of from a sketch and just drew out a story. In final i will self publish and print it. Most of the work is complete. Its drawn i just have to rewrite add words and color and tone to the pages. I will do more 24 hr comics in the future.

The 24 hr comic event took place over at Challangers Comics 1845 N Western Ave # 2R Chicago, IL 60647-6646 - (773) 278-0155

Big thanks to PAT and staff for warm welcomes!
