A window into my imagination

As you will soon see, the purpose of this blog is really to get me to begin drawing on a regular basis again. I have been very random with my drawing over the last few years and yet my cartoon drawing has managed to improve exponentially through the brief periods that I have practiced. About 3 years ago I had the "big idea" which will one day become my comic strip. The grand plan is to complete almost the entire run of the strip before ever submitting it for publishing or self-publishing it. For this reason, I am a little hush-hush about some of the key elements of the story and characters. Regardless, I have decided to share what I can in the hopes of keeping it fresh in my mind and hopefully picking up some motivation, encouragement and even some fans along the way! Thanks for stopping by, as a sneak peek at what you will be seeing on this blog- here is a sketch of one of my comic strip characters. More will come soon!

Here is a sketch of the main female character. I have been working on her a little this week, she has been lacking in the past (I have been concentrating on the more important guy characters) but is now beginning to shape up nicely. She is pretty important, being the love interest of the hero. I have been debating about her name. Maybe someone can suggest a name for her. I have toyed with 'Mary' and 'Penny'. She is definitely a girl next door type. And no, just because she has glasses does not mean she is modeled after me. Any name suggestions will be appreciated. I also like 'Marla'.

Oh, perhaps I should mention that the type of comic strip I am creating may be unlike any that you have seen or read in your local funny papers. This strip will have an ongoing story that when put together as a whole could just as easily be made into a graphic novel or book. It is more complex than you might think and I think very original too.
