Building Blocks 2

 
Here's some more old architectural studies from the late 90s, around the Southbank Centre and the Barbican in London. First is a pencil drawing, the second and third pen and ink, and the last one is a gouache painting. Kinda like how the blue on the concrete floor looks a bit like water as if it's a view under a bridge.

The Old And The New

 

 Here's an old Fred strip from 1991, it's the first appearance of Fred's enemy and obvious Judge Dredd wanna be, the insane cop Officer McDab. Although a lot of these early one pagers are pretty terrible I do have a soft spot for them. They all have a manic spontaneity about them which serves the cheesy humour quite well. This page has been fully restored and re-lettered digitally from an old A4 photocopy.

This next one is from late 1999 and was the cover of Mondo #44. Much like the Space Babe strip it was fully painted in acrylics with Indian ink line work on top. It was for the story Waste Not Want Not in  which Fred chases a falling beer can from the top to the bottom of the city which gets darker and more squalid the lower it goes. I was a few months out of art college

by then and the city now had it's own more distinct and industrial design.

Here's some newer stuff... No spoilers, a completely random pencilled page from the new story City of Tomorrow. When this is finished it will have grey tone and rain fx on all the external shots. The cityscapes are great fun to do but take ages because they are very dense and background heavy, this is to give the reader a sense of claustrophobia in the harsh decaying city. These pages are all done to fit US magazine sized pages to give it a bulkier feel.

This is The Panther.. one of the story's new characters... Who is she? What lies behind her mask?  Why does she want to get into Fetty's trousers? Find out... or not, in Fred Fortune- City of Tomorrow...

Here's a finished panel from page two.

++Digital Visual Information Process++

Drawing corner. Part the first.

Here's a quick piece drawn in traditional pencils...

... to inking digitally in Clip Studio...

... with some quick digital colour...

... and the finished illustration.

What do you think? I still gotta get to grips with digital colour, but improving bit by bit.

Elsewhere in CGUK, 'Shades' is a two-volume, action-packed graphic novel from David A J Berner at Broken Voice Comics. It's set in the UK in the closing years of the Twentieth Century with a story spanning five thousand years of British history. It asks the question “What makes a hero?” and examines the characteristics and traits that have come to define the British national psyche.

Available in both print and digital on Broken Voice's Comicsy shop, here:

Next Time- More!

Stay safe everyone.
