I just love how you've drawn the bricks in this cartoon. Bricks always give me trouble. Do they generally take you a very long time?
Terrence, I take one of my worn-out brushes and let it go a bit dry with ink. I do repetitive dashes with the brush sort of lying flat. The variations in the ink coverage are what make the bricks look authentic. Usually I spatter it all with a toothbrush when I'm done for additional texture.
42,000 bridges in Ohio; they have determined that the 1-71 bridge near King's Island is a similar design to the one that collapsed, and about the same age
This was funny enough to make my milkshake come out of my nose!!!
Okay, Jim, so when you're splattering ink with a toothbrush, how do you keep the spray from going all over the other parts of your cartoon?
I've always wanted to ask that! :-)
CartoonGeek, if I have ample time, I create a sort of mask on the drawing (using typewriter paper and masking tape) and leave windows where I want the spatters to go.
More often, I just hold a sheet of stiff paper in my non-spattering hand and use it as a sort of moving mask, shielding areas from spatters.
Photoshop, of course, makes cleaning up unwanted spatters a breeze after I scan. My originals can look like battle zones.
the US is 3.5 trillion pounds overweight; unfortunately, it's less than the national debt!
3 can hold the bridge while 2 go over it!
