Learn To Grow

Presenting the first three panels for my Materials and Techniques Class based (Loosely I may add) around a prose novel of mine in the works called 'Grow'. The concept of Grow in 25 words or less is one boy's coming of age from a meek prude to world changing revolutionist. And his name is Iris.

Yes. XD

If the crazy vegitation hasn't given it away Grow is based in a nature type setting and everyone is a literal and a metaphorical representation of a flower. It's a weird little thing I do. :3

As for the art here:

Panel 1 at the top is a study done in Copic Multiliners. I discovered I love Copics a little too much. About ten hours of work went into that baby where I pretended I was a wannabe Berni Wrightson and.... kinda pulled it off.

Panel 2 was done with a G Pen nib and Dr. Martin's Bombay India Ink. I took what I learned from the OMG overload of Panel 1 and tried to pair it down in Panel 2. This is also a reattempt at from what I handed in last week and even if Shawn didn't tell me to redo the old one yet I thought I'd beat him to it. Also a reason for the Bombay ink is I happened to find I had some sitting around from at LEAST two years ago and I collect bottles of ink like people collect teacups y'know? I mentioned it to Roy today that I had some-- TWO bottles in fact! And he positively gushed at how awesome that stuff is so I thought I'd give it a go. :D It did not dissappoint! *O*

Panel 3 was done with a Kolinsky brush and more Bombay. I am seriously dissapointed in this one because ONCE I got my brush trained enough it decided it wasn't going to do all the things I learned to do with it anymore. D: Shawn has a really slick ink style that I really like. Annnnnnnnnnnnd obviously that didn't happen here. D: Though.... I kinda do like the composition. I think looking at the hardcopy in front of me I see the gallon of whiteout I spilled on this thing to fix it and it.... kinda scanned pretty nice. :o I'm impressed at the superpowers of my scanner. :o

Enjoy. :3
