ICECUBES the comic strip #346-1b

Posted on February 2, 2024 by Leroy Brown

Well here it is folks, the premiere of Freeze's new movie: "FREEZE vs. The TLACOMITZLI" and if you don't understand the title, neither do I. We'll just have to wait and see I guess. But it certainly looks like Nooky got his money worth in the first scene. Remember he financed the film! Always good advice, when in doubt, put the client in the movie :)
Stay tuned for what can only be a wild ride. Next week: "ICY BATTLE!" Oh and please click on the ads, hey it really helps!

Yeah, more random stuff. Part of the ‘Cool Pix’ series. I like the cartoony pickle.

‘Cool’ Gum.

Look at what I found the other day at some random store. Although it’s sure to be ‘cool’ gum they probably are not aware that ICECUBES is a registered trademark. Seriously, I’ll sue them for all their bubbles 😉

How To Draw Comics. Tracing & Transfers: Part 3.

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Leroy Brown

See Part 1 and Part 2 to catch up. This is the back side of your tracing.

Once you have blacked the back of your tracing paper, you are now ready to transfer your drawing. Remember, you only need to black the area that corresponds to your drawing.

Now you can flip the tracing over and start transferring your drawing! Place your tracing in the exact spot on your strip were you want the drawing to appear. Now trace your drawing, paying close attention to the lines that you want to capture. A lot of times you don’t need to put in a lot of detail. In my case I was just after the gesture and proportions of my original sketch.

Presto! There is your original drawing, exactly where you want it on the page! It’s a great trick and I use it when I feel the need for speed! Looks great doesn’t it? Be sure you don’t dig in too much with your pencil just in case you need to erase and reposition your drawing.

I don’t consider this cheating by the way, since I drew the original drawing. It’s just that I drew it on my sketch pad and wanted to place it at the right spot inside my comic strip. Here are some examples of drawings I transferred recently.

How To Draw Comics. Tracing & Transfers: Part 2.

So you have selected the drawing you want to transfer. The next step is to trace it.

Note the tracing paper and original drawing are taped to the table to prevent slipping (orange arrow). Now carefully trace your drawing using a soft pencil. Do not make deep lines or dig into the paper, you just want a nice outline.

Once the tracing is done, it’s time to prepare the transfer. Turn the tracing over. Using a very soft pencil (3B or more) apply lead to the underside of your tracing. The best way is to use the flat of your lead (using charcoal is fine too).
