I love this drawing of our dog Rocky — it really captures his personality.

Here’s a drawing of Wonder Woman that I did recently. My inks and Jennie’s color.

I assume Wonder Woman is hunting bears.

Captain Picklebeard & Dilly

Captain Picklebeard and his trusty sidekick Parrot, Dilly.

Inked in Adobe Illustrator CS4 with the new Blob Brush. If you had ever inked with the normal Illustrator brushes, the same controls are there for you, but it has the vast improvement of A: remembering your size and sensitivity settings from one session to the next and B: overlapping strokes automatically join together so you aren’t dealing with thousands of separate overlapping paths. This makes it super easy to erase with accuracy and smooth the edges of a form. In short it feels much more like Photoshop, but with the awesome control over smoothness afforded by Ai.

I’m really enjoying it.

I may do some more rendering on Picklebeard’s coat and metal bits, but as it’s intended for color, I’m going to keep it pretty open. This has been a very fun piece.

I am working on his ship now — can you guess its name?
