Inktober 2017

"Inktober
Day 21 is Dave Sim, as I continue inking over the pencils of some of my
all-time favourite comic artists... If
I had to choose a single comics creator that was the single biggest
influence on my own work it would surely be Dave Sim. I discovered his
epic comic Cerebus at just the time I was starting to absorb material
outside of the mainstream, and it stuck with
a vengeance. He’s definitely my all time favourite comics creator and
Cerebus is my all time favourite comic. With that in mind I approached
this sketch with a little trepidation. It was an absolute ball to do
though, and by the end of it I was pretty comfortable adding in a few of
my own stylistic touches as opposed to what is so obviously Dave’s
style. I think in the end it’s a good amalgamation. This
one took me just under 30 minutes as it’s a reasonably simple sketch to
begin with. I’ll be digging around for some humans that Dave’s drawn so
that I can have a crack at those as well. I think that’s where there’s
the most to learn for my own practice."

"I
am gifting my entire cerebus trade collection to a new cerebite in
Cali, so I have had the ol aardvark on the brain when drawing the past
couple days... Two reasons, 1. To spread the magic 2. to get the remasters."

I enjoy seeing other artists' renditions of Cerebus. I'm really enjoying that first one James Smith did!
