I recently bought this great new pen, it's a 0.05 or an .oo5 , whatever the point is, it's superfine and I absolutely love using it. The combination of ease of use and with that the freedom to put ideas on paper as they come, helps me to keep my pledge to myself to draw every day. Yesterday, as with all things one likes, I named the pen Silverboy. Then, because I've been thinking, and trying the non-thinking approach to thinking, I, perhaps, solved my problem of drawing people, by using pens and pencils as characters, along with a kittycat. I think, hope, I can find appropriate characters for my book story.
The following drawing is kind of the first picture of another story, that may or may not be written.
What I realize, as much as I want to conceive, write and illustrate a story in one sitting, I know, now, after several false starts, loved at first, then viewed with a more critical eye, I know this is going to be a very long process, full of missteps, and I hope leaps forward. Trying to create a comic, sequential story, or (my favorite disclaimer phrase) whatever, is very different from the art I've been used to practice. Whatever.
