A few digital sketches....
The drawings made using Painter and a Wacom........ other scamps & project roughs to follow, time allowing

Comic character.... in progress, as is the one below left...

...To show that I do still sketch and rough-out first......
albeit digitally most of the time.

I have been using Painter in the past, but with Photoshop 7.0, the brush options have vastly improved to the level that I rarely use Painter now....
