Supersized.

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Leroy Brown


Check out the size of the latest strip I drew! I decided to make it the same size as newspaper comic artists used to draw comics. All that space to fill was both daunting and liberating. I think that if I ever have to draw a story with lots of detail I’ll do it this size again. It was a bit of a challenge to ink and in order to get good thick lines I decided to go with a Windsor Newton brush instead of nibs. Fun stuff!
See the published strip here!

    Hard to believe that the originals were so large, but then again, they were also printed very large and were drawn with a lot of detail. Now the comics are postage stamp size in the newspapers but I think webcomics bring back the detail and larger sizes.

    Thanks Tom. It was lots of fun and also challenging to fill in all that space! Glad you like it.
