Hey, you have to use a new letter to most efficiently represent the number of Sanford Park comic strips in Roman numerals! Thanks for reading!
And we’re back! A small part of the troubles that kept me from updating last week was that I lost my good drawing pen somewhere. I should have my new one delivered tomorrow, but the drawing of this one was interesting.
I usually use a Micron (size 08) pen for the panel, speech balloon & thought bubble borders & lettering, a Speedball Hunt 102 nib for ‘most everything else, and a brush or brush marker for fills of black. Without the Speedball (which is what I’d lost) I tried inking with the straight brush. There was a time when I almost thought I had the hang of the brush, but the result this time was so bad, I threw the strip away. This puppy was inked with a Uni-ball pen. Not bad for what it is, I think, but I’ll be glad to have a “real” pen again.
Thanks for sticking with it through the absence! What do you guys use to draw with? What have you seen good results from in others’ work?
Finally here!
Greetings! Enjoying the relatively consistent update schedule so far? Glad to hear it.
By the way, unfortunately today’s comic will be significantly delayed. I let the drawing and scanning get down close enough to the wire that my computer pooping out on me would be a major issue (which is exactly what happened). If the needed repair is as simple as I think, I’ll have the strip posted sometime this evening.
This would be a great time to look into the RSS feed for the strip. It’s a good way to make sure you don’t miss an update if something interrupts your regular reading schedule. Hopefully in the future it won’t be something like this.
But seriously; I really appreciate your reading the strip regularly; and I’ll get the comic up ASAP. Sanford’s grumpy in it, which makes it seem strangely appropriate.
