JAVILAND EPISODE 35- “Sacrifice-What it takes to do it DIY”
Time: 03/14/2010 09:00 PM EDT

In an effort to stay on task with my PDSH-a-Day project- Here’s a LADY LUCK SKETCH CARD! I would like to return to Miss L with a full-figured(vava-voomie) drawing soon. Till then enjoy her visage, trademark hat and a bit o’ shoulder! (more…)
Brush Inking can be a pain to learn. I’ve FINALLY begun to start the process of learning the craft. Check it out- Mark Rudolph has done a cool instructional video on the subject. You can find more of the same tips and other things related to making/publishing your comics on Art & Story video and Art & Story Podcast. I’ll post some of my brush attempts tomorrow.
