Welcome to the fourth in my 5-part series of the step-by-step creation of my week’s worth of “Haiku Ewe” comics seen on GoComics.com last week. Thursday’s comic once again pits our little lamb in mortal danger – this time at the hands of a conniving wolf. While that is indeed scary, what might be scarier is the realization that wolves can write, and sheep can read.
Well, that is neither here nor there. Let’s just get on with the artwork, shall we? By the way, all the images today can be enlarged if you click on them.
Enjoy!
Here is the pencil rough drawn on tracing paper. While Big Al always wrote the haikus, I had my bit of fun coming up with the words on the signs. It’s not every day you get to be punny.Here’s the final pencil drawing (with colored pencils) with just a splash of paint on the background so far. I typically paint the element that’s furthest away first, and work my way to the front.The painted version without any finishing touches like additional colored pencil or highlights, shadows, words on the signs, etc.Here is the cropped final with all the little touches that make the artwork pop.
Be sure to come back tomorrow to see Friday’s final post on my guest artist week of “Haiku Ewe”!
