Gesturing with your left

I've been gesture drawing lately with my left hand (I'm right handed) just as an experiment. It's been quite interesting to see the drawings that emerge. I often times like them more than the drawings I do with my right hand. They have a freshness and life to them that my right handed drawings seem to lack. I'm not sure why this is, but I think it's because I have no bad habits with my left - no shorthands that I can rely on. It may also have to do with the fact that my left hand is directly connected to my right brain, so maybe that's helping? In any case, I recommend giving it a shot (if you're left handed, try drawing with your right). The first few drawings will probably be illegible, but push past them. I think you'll find that you'll get some very interesting results! Here are a few of the more successful left handed drawings I've done in the last two weeks:

Afterworks blog!

The AFTERWORKS blog is up! Thanks to my buddy Scott Morse. You can go there for sneak peaks at some of the upcoming Afterworks stories. Here are a few more pages from me, in no particular order. Enjoy!

Afterworks pages...FINALLY!

Sorry it's been a while. Things have been busy at work, and I've been spending more of my time thinking about my Afterworks 3 story (I still have a couple of pages that I haven't figured out yet). Fortunately, I was able to get in some inking as well. Here are some pages below: inked and valued. I still need to do a color pass. That will come later. I've also put in a picture of this great new pen I discovered at Kinokuniya (a Japanese stationary store). It's made the inking process much more enjoyable. Enjoy the new pages!
