Missing in action :-)))

© 2006 Armando Salas. --- Sorry. I wasn't around in the last days. Missing in action for a while!!!:-)))Several legal subjects to solve and... I wish to paint this Summer. If I want to paint, I must do my habitual work in advance. And this means: work, work, work! Finally I drew 30 comic pages ("Flip") and 4 sunday strips. The work is totally inked. And... OMG!... I can draw/paint!:-))) I always liked to do pencil sketches. I did tons of them. Because it's an excellent training to achieve flexibility in the wrist:-) My first work: a landscape... boats, sea, life... This is the sketch. I still didn't decide the technique: oil, watercolor, acrylic... Wish me luck with the brushes:-))) ---Upper image: pencil sketch. 55 x 40 cm. Pencils Cretacolor Monolith 2B, 4B and 6B.-- Bottom image: 30 pages and 4 sunday strips totally inked.

Wow! Impressive workload here! I just love your top sketch---very detail oriented and yet 'loose' in overall style--perhaps it's the squiggly lines in the water? :) I love your style. -Kerra
