Im Not Dead! And Im Back With A New Pocket Witch - This Is Sammys New Pocket Witch, Gravity! Sammy Has

I’m not dead! And I’m back with a new Pocket Witch - this is Sammy’s new Pocket Witch, Gravity! Sammy has drawn a lot of pictures for me recently, so in return I offered her a Pocket Witch of her own. I originally meant to do just the portrait, but things got out of hand and Gravity demanded a two-page comic to introduce herself, she was very excited to meet Sammy! (She’s very excited about everything.) The spot colour on these is actually done in neon ink which naturally doesn’t show up properly in scans, so I’ll post some photos later showing the neons on the original pages.

Inktober 2017 : Day 18 - brush pen and ink wash

Isaac knows a lot of sung prayers, but he doesn’t remember where he learned them. I was inspired by Heikala’s beautiful process videos to try and get some finer lines out of my brush pen, it’s hard but I really want to learn how to do it. I also found a spare waterbrush pen which I filled with diluted ink, so now I can use ink wash at work! Nobody will ever know! Speaking of work, this accurate skeletal hand is brought to you by A Colour Atlas of Clinical Anatomy. (I work in a medical library.)

Inktober 2017 - Day 9 : gel pen

If you pick a magical fight with Nat assuming he’ll be as unprepared as his sister, you’re going to get yourself seriously hurt. In fairness, getting struck by Jessie’s lightning is probably going to hurt too. The difference is Nat won’t hurt himself as well.

Here are some process photos for the portrait of Pocket Witch Gravity I posted a while ago. Whenever I post process photos it makes me realise how conventional my process is! I think literally the only thing that’s different to any of my friends is that I finish the line inking after the spot black, rather than before. Look out for some close-up photos of the comic as well!

Inktober 2017 : Day 20 - gel pen Someone walking past probably wouldn’t see the shadow, but it’s there. Oof. This one was definitely in the ‘why have I done this to myself’ category. I was up several hours past my usual bedtime finishing the many layers of crosshatching! It was also stressful because this sort of hatching looks like arse until it’s nearly done, so I’m never quite sure if it’s going to work.

Inktober 2017 : Day 8 - ink wash Later in life Louise will know better than to follow the forest lights, but when she first came to live with her foster parents she didn’t know what they were.
