Been awhile since I've posted .. =0_0=

This one was doodled on the Wacom in Photoshop .. about 30 minutes, overall.

Sgt Marshmallow

I've been working on a Sergeant and Toullie comic strip and this was one of the 'looks' tests I did a few weeks ago. I was going for a sharp pencil and marker look which Colors seems to simulate pretty well.


I settled on a very different look for the strip, which will start its run on the Little Green Dog website soon.

A Step Backwards

This is the original version of the elephant sketch I posted the other day. My wife likes this one better; she thinks he has more personality and I have to agree. Even so, I think I had more fun painting the second one.


The reason I redid the sketch was that my Nintendo DS Lite's screen was accidentally set to full brightness so the image came out way too dark to post. By the way, this image was brightened via Photoshop so it is no longer a 'pure' Colors sketch. (Actually, I still think too dark.)

To paint the second version, I used Colors' playback feature and advanced the painting right up the point where I began coloring the first version, and I started the second one from there. This is a useful feature in Colors for experimenting with different techniques on one sketch.

Long Time, No Doodle

Okay, I'm back.

Working Out

They would still be around if only...

Fairy Tree

Technically, this was yesterday's lunchtime sketch, but today I'm sleeping.

By the way, this is my first vertical Colors! sketch. You have to physically hold the DS Lite sideways to do this, which felt really weird and confusing at first but halfway through the drawing I got used to it. Sort of.

Waiting for Breakfast

This is a portrait of my wife drawn on the Nintendo DS Lite with Colors. I started this sketch at a local diner a couple of weekends ago, but had to stop when our breakfast arrived. Afterwards, I continued to play with this sketch but didn't feel I could finish it properly without her posing for me.

Tonight, when she sat down to pay some bills, I finally got my chance.


Just for fun: this what the sketch looked like when we got our breakfast at the diner.

Water Nymph

Still having fun with Colors and the DS Lite. Here's a bonus feature for today: follow the link below, scroll to the bottom of the page, and then click the Begin Playback button.
