I’ve just completed the first comic I’ve drawn using the classic comic book procedures; A page breakdown; Penciling; And inking with a brush. Practice is good and it’s worth doing. Drawing in my sketchbook is good practice. But I think that I have to take it beyond that. The real practice is the actual doing. If I actually worked on carrying out the ideas into completed projects I think that I would improve faster and get much better. Sketch book practice lacks commitment to the completed idea in my head. It’s hard to focus in the sketchbook. And when I draw, I want to draw for keeps. It reminds me of playing pool. To get better at pool, I felt that I had to gamble. And it’s true. Gambling gives winning a pool game value and therefore evokes a greater personal effort to succeed. The same is true with drawing. It’s always a gamble as to whether I can execute the idea in my head on to paper!

Been reading Conan and studying the art work of John Buscema and Cary Nord. Out of all the comic book heroes, Conan is the one character that demands that the editors pick a pencil artist that can capture action with a natural aesthetic yet still be dramatic. On the top left I drew 4 studies of Conan out of my head. 3 action and 1 close up. I used a ball point pen to prevent my self from erasing. The other 3 drawings are inking studies over pencil. When working in my sketchbook I almost never erase.
