big Brother - p. 5

I'm trying out a slightly different pen style (brushpen) here, and I used speedlines for the first time. I like the ones on shoulder, but I think I messed up the ones on the ball.

I used a photo reference to get the pose right (well, actually from three different ones, one for each player). Devin's action was hard for me to draw because he's about to kick the ball with his back (his right) foot. That's why his body is twisting.

The god of soccer comics (manga) Higuchi Diasuke, and his 24-volume series

Whistle

. Man can he draw!

big Brother - p. 3

This morning I wrote out the name (Japanese word for "comics storyboard"). I was worried about getting myself pencilled into a corner, so I'm glad I did it. It was easier than I thought it would be. It was also interesting to write something in first person, and from the uke's perspective. It has some twists and turns, so I hope people will be pleasantly surprised.

Oh, and speaking of name... I picked a name for the big brother.

Do boy's rooms still look like this?
