Grizzly & The Bear Patrol #6 - Rough Draft Page One

[kybearfuzz]

Last week, I finished writing Grizzly & The Bear Patrol #6 and plotted out the pages. Over the weekend, I started drawing and I was surprised how quickly it started moving along.

Normally when I draw pages, they never seem to turn out exactly how I imagined them. Sometimes they are better, sometimes not. I went to bed Sunday night feeling pretty happy about how the first three pages turned out and I realized that page one turned out exactly how I imagined it. Since I both pencil and ink the pages, I often take shortcuts with the details, not shading the dark areas with pencil since I'll be inking them or coloring them later. The rough pencils are often VERY rough and I add details in the inking.

Last night, while watching Drag U on Logo, I polished off a couple of more pages and decided to revisit page one. I did what I usually don't, added more detail and shaded things in.

It'll be several weeks, if not a couple of months, before issue #6 is done, but I went ahead and scanned the rough pencils for page one. I put it behind the cut to save space. It doesn't give away any story, but hopefully it'll make you guys wonder a bit what the heck I've written.

Happy Tuesday!

You show me a scantily clad bear in the woods and you think I'm going to wonder about the plot line? I already have my own.

Well, technically he's in costume (what there is of it). Maybe I should have drawn him nekkid.

See always room for improvement...

A roast by any other name would still smell as meat. A dancer's costume might be anything from a tuxedo to a thong, but the *point* is bare bear. And if you were to draw him au naturel, I doubt you'll find much opposition; though knowing you, it'd probably be a teaser. ;)

I'm sure the naughty bits would be covered in flowers, much like they are in this page.
