Adventures in life modelling
A short comic I drew recently about my experiences as a life model. What do models think of as they're sitting there? From my experience: the plot holes in Heroes.
I coloured in the tone with marker: it's streaked a bit. It would have been neater on the computer, but not as much fun.
Not that I don't enjoy your sketches, but it's been a while since you've posted a lettered comic. Not that I have any right to expect comics. I'll stop digging here.
Random thoughts: Alternative panel 1. Comic title is actually title of a card in post office window. Hand pressing paper against glass to take note obscures actual location. Probably wouldn't fit, or be as clear as actual panel, but fun. Panels 6 and 9: Nice use of the border. Thanks for sharing.
As an aside, I keep thinking I should go to a life drawing class. At least partially because I don't make time to practice drawing anyway, and if I had a set schedule I'd be more likely to stick to it.
Good idea about using the life drawing card as the title, Dave.
Life drawing rocks! I was put off at university by a teacher I didn't get on with. It's nice to have a local class where I can do my own thing.I'd definatly reccommend joining one. I keep drawing comics and forgetting to post them after they've been published. I've stuck a couple up here. Enjoy:)
I graduated from Loughborough University with a BA in Illustration in 2004. Since then I have worked in animation, television, illustration, education and marketing in a variety of creative roles.
I'm currently based in Coventry employed as a freelance illustrator.
My illustration style is clean and versatile and has been used in a variety of mediums from children's art shows to podcasts. I combine Photoshop with pencil and ink sketches, photography and found textures to suit the nature of the commission. I am inspired by my love of travel and you can often find textures and patterns collected from around the world in my work.

Yay, comic!

Have you seen the DAR comics on life drawing?
