Ultimate Reprise
----SO WHAT, EXACTLY, have I actually learned and picked up as regards learning about cartooning, in the six years since I started up this site, then?
---Well, clearly, the biggest single change in my drawings has been the adoption of DIGITAL MANIPULATION: I was actually a late advocate of taking this up: a quick backtrack to the early days of this site will reveal that it wasn't really all that long ago since I done everything in pencil, ink and paper, with absolutely no computer embellishments.
Eventually I succumbed to compu-scuttering-aboot, though and although it creates extra work [it definitely takes longer using computers] the results are infinitely more flexible and downright interesting, and I am now sure glad I went this route----it makes it easier to sell stuff as well.
Anyway, I quite fancied 'reprising' one of my early site-drawings, a black-and-white inking I done in 2010 [complete with deliberately skewed perspective in the background] and---without even looking at the original version, I embarked upon a digital 'update' of the same scenario,
So: you can see how my stuff has developed through computer jiggery-pokery.
Yes, I know the original black-and-white cartoon has shrunken down within this site: I intend re-instating a larger file once I locate the older cartoon inking.
