WAR is Stupid, Part Two:
The Second Instalment in my 'Illustrated War Guide'' is a relatively restrained gag, that has already appeared within other forums.
One commentator pointed out that the Drill Sergeant/Inspector/Whoever had stripes on his arms that were 'not accurate' or words to that effect; I got the impression that perhaps he came from a Military Background [or something]. This would explain such attention to detail, however, if I spend too much time looking up visual references on GOOGLE IMAGES etc [which is very handy at times, it has to be said] then all spontanaeity in the original rough drawing will be lost, making for weaker and less effective cartooning.
Such meticulous attention to detail is admirable in some ways, but perhaps is more relevant if you are drawing a COMMANDO comic or something.......in cartoonery as brazen as mine, the artist can get away with 'screaming blue murder'.
The majority of my drawings are penciled in very quickly, in order to retain spontenaiety and to hopefully make them 'lively looking'.
The same critic also asked if VIBES the mutt was meant to be 'inflatable'?
-----Well, yes, he was, but only for the duration of this gag.
