After a little mistake with maybe not saving and my computer crashing I have now coloured this twice….. I think I was a little happier with where it was going the first time but what are you gonna do

Cover of a cover
So a couple of weeks ago I posted a cover image I did for the graphic novel I’m working on. I wanted to go back to that drawing and try out a different style inspired by the sketches I’ve been doing lately.
I don’t think I will be changing the graphic novel to this style , I’m not a fan of the sketch lines and hatching but I do like some of the colouring, especially the shield and around the torso. I might use a a bit of a mixture of this and the original for my final colouring style.
More Sketching
I’m quite enjoying these likeness studies at the moment and I think they are important for me right now to get back to working on my fundamentals, so you may see a few more drawings like this over the next week or so. I’ll still try to throw in a few fun ones though when I have a good idea.
For now, here is a poison dart frog.
Hammer Time
Today’s post is a bit late. Just playing around with the Purple Frog again.
Purple Blob
Today’s frog is an interesting one, it is a Purple Frog, also know as a Pignose Frog. I quite like this little guy and I think I will start putting them in different situations.
Tree Frog
Just a good old fashioned green tree frog today.
More Testings
Here is another style test for my comic I will hopefully now get around to completing. This time, Frog Guy is sitting next to a fire. Ignore the background colour, that won’t be the final background on these tests.
Quick and Sharp
Today’s frog is just a quick drawing of a long-nosed horned frog.
Witty Title about a frog……
Can’t think of a title right now…
So I’ve had this idea for a graphic novel (about frogs unsurprisingly…) that I started working on about 5 years ago but then fell into a bit of a rut. When I started this blog it was meant to help me restart the thing. I got about 2 pages sketched back when I started the blog then kind of forgot about it….
Anyway, I was looking over my sketches the other day and I really liked this one that I did for the cover image and decided I should have a go at inking and colouring it to kind of get back into it but also get an idea of how I want it to end up looking.
This isn’t really how I had pictured it in my head but I kind of like how it turned out. It is a lot more saturated than I planned and also a bit cleaner. The big inspiration I had way back when I started this was Mouse Guard by David Petersen so in my mind it was kind of more that style.
But it turns out I actually really like what I did with it, I’m not sure it really fits in with the story and setting but I am reworking a lot of that anyway so I think it could work (which is really handy because I will be able to recreate this style pretty easy when I finally get around to doing the whole comic 😛 )
