Played with two different media today that I don't normally use; oils and Artrage. I'd like to do more with both. Oils are like butter in many different ways. ArtRage, even in its oil paint mode is really utterly unlike oil paint, which is fine. They each have their strengths, though Artrage doesn't smell.

Just some sketching I've been doing between pages of Tamino. First, an experiment in watercolor, which I don't use enough. Ghiroy in WC and ink. Lucco seems to come a lot more easily now than when I was doing "Fite!" which is kind of annoying. I was using some of Ben Balistreri's poses as reference to see if could learn something with my own character work. He makes it look so easy! Ghiroy's poses are my own and he, too is coming more easily though I've yet to do any work on that comic as there just isn't time. Stupid retail job. And the kids from Narnia! Soon (not) to be a saturday morning show!
