Yeah I know it’s royal wedding day n all but that’s no reason not to update the comic ;)
I’ve been thinking a lot about my face at the moment, well, my cartoon face at least. You see, I’ve been working on and off on a print collection of my autobiographical webcomic Ellerbisms (which you guys know about, right?) and at the moment I’ve been drawing some new strips that take place…
Aaaand that’s all the 4 main characters! There’s still 8 more profiles though, as I’m still working hard on this project.

I’ve prepped some sketchbook pages with inkwash so expect some sketch posts. It’s strange how I’ve gotten enthusiastic about this sketchbook in a way I don’t normally get. I think it’s got something to to with it being square.
This is in PaintTool SAI but I suppose you could use these in photoshop as well.
Brush tool
Min size (10/20%) - depends on what I’m working on
Density (100%)
Paper texture (94%)
Blending (29%)
Dilution (9%)

Well, I mostly use the default Photoshop brush settings with 100% hardness. And then there’s my acutal brush, which is currently a size 4 sable brush from Cass art, which is proving at least as faithful as the fancy W&N Series7 that costs about 5 times as much.
I hope you’re enjoying these!
