ICECUBES the comic strip #344

Posted on January 5, 2024 by Leroy Brown

Happy New Year everyone! Wow, 2024!! Hard to believe, but this will be the 16th year for ICECUBES the comic strip. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your support for the strip. There will be some new surprises this year! For starters, I will make a lot more artwork available for purchase by collectors. Also, "The I's Have It" is now available for $1.99 as a digital download at the ICECUBES Store. Thanks to all of you who are subscribers and if you would like to be one, it is only $1 per month - just hit the Members Only! button or click here!

Well, it's late and I have to go to bed. I hope you like this week's strip. Peckinpaw is kinda sore... I had some fun with the colors again and made 2 different versions, so try to see the differences on desktop vs. mobile and tell me which one you like best.

Ok, thanks for being such 'cool' ICECUBES fans!

How To Draw Comics. Tracing & Transfers, part 1.

Posted on September 19, 2011 by Leroy Brown

As mentioned last week, here’s a cool trick to use when trying to copy or transfer a drawing. Often you will practice a drawing a few times to get it right, a lot like a musician practices a riff to get the ‘swing’ of it. When you get that drawing right, you can keep practicing it to memorize it, or if you are on a tight deadline (like I often am) you can transfer it.

Here is a practice sheet of Freeze walking. After several attempts I got a drawing I liked (circled in blue). In part 2 I will show you how to trace it then transfer it to your comic. Tune in tomorrow for part 2.

Tracing & Transfers.

Here’s a tracing I did of Freeze walking. I did it because I had done a great drawing that I wanted to copy. Next week I’ll explain how you can use tracing paper to transfer your drawing. It’s easy! 🙂

I recently went to a really neat exhibit of Inuit artifacts from 100 years ago. I made some sketches of the masks. Here’s one. Hopefully I can use it in the comic strip. 🙂
