A while back, I posted an uncolored work in process page of a graphic novel I’m developing in my spare time. Here, finally, is the finished colored page. What do you think?

Graphic Novel Work in Process
I’ve been super busy the last few weeks working on a picture book. Yesterday, I finally completed the artwork for it. So, while I’m waiting for comments from the publisher, I have a little time to work on the graphic novel pitch I’m developing.
Here’s the page I inked last night. I drew the panel borders and typed the dialogue in Adobe Illustrator. Then I printed it onto 11×17 Bristol paper. I penciled everything in blue pencil which I can easily remove in Photoshop later (The dialogue was also blue. This makes it easier if I have to re-write any dialogue later.) I drew the final ink lines primarily with my trusty Rapidograph pens.
So what do you think?
And I should be back on Friday with another page in the adventures of Jim and Ted, for both of you who missed it the last few weeks.

Ducktales
A few months back, one of the editors at Kaboom! comics approached me with the possibility of doing some art for the upcoming Ducktales comic. The deadline was apparently very tight and I had only a couple of days to do some sample sketches of the characters for Disney’s approval. Considering the fact that I hadn’t drawn these characters before, I think I did OK, but I wish I had done a little less hatching lines.
I didn’t get the job. But here are a few of my samples for the job that might have been.
