ANNOUNCEMENT
Sorry I have been so quiet this week, readers.....it is not neglect on my part.....quite simply my main computer at home is out of action until I get assistance so I am typing up this message via tablet in the local lbrary.....what with free wi fi and all that malarkey.
I am still able to use my image program at home but at the time of writing I cannot add images onto the net....not like I prefer to anyway.......
Normal service will resume as soon as is possible. Thank you for tuning in....the ratings have been pretty good
Keep em peeled....Rob
UPDATE, 21 Aug, 2015:
I HAVE NO DESIRE TO leave any of these postings as un-illustrated, so here I concocted a kwicko-quickie, and re-inserted later, as my girlfriend used to say:
This item below gives a good illustration of how a good image manipulation program can assist the cartoonist visually: the original rough sketch has some good vitality in it, but an obvious problem with these zippy roughs is that they are so instant, they are often 'all over the place' with bad compositing and proportions, etc...today, it is easy to still keep these elements and re-assemble them in a few seconds with digital jiggery-pokery.
I have retained the rough look of this cartoon as I have a penchant to keep 'em vital:
PLATE ONE: the chivvied-up sketch, after tinkering
PLATE TWO: the original rapid rough, done in a few short minutes [it took longer to write this post]:
