Woolly Wonderful Issue #1

-

Hey folks,

After what seems like an eternity I can finally present you the first issue of my comic Woolly Wonderful. This comic is a start of an idea’s realisation I had some years ago, I will post more about that soon.

Let me just say, I gained massive respect for comic creators now that I experienced myself what a journey it is. But it is also a rewarding one. I started this project without a lot of drawing experience or let alone how to do comics. Some pages indeed took me more than 22 hours, with others I got more lucky by just 12 hours. But it does not have to be that way, a simpler style would do it for some people, or maybe even my future self.

Enough of the long words, please enjoy the following pages. You can click on the first image and then cycle through the next pages with the arrow keys on your keyboard. Let's goooo...






I hope you enjoyed issue 1 and please let me know. You can post a comment here or contact me on instagram at @andi_past_art. Woolly is looking forward to see you again.
Please stay in touch by checking this blog every now and then. I am not there yet where I wanted the story to be. There is so much more I need to show you.

Stay safe and inspired,
Andi Pasti

The Cheetah’s Hunt - Gag Comic

A few of my brain cells worked together and came up with a little animal gag comic. I think as inspiration I can blame the Keeper Chat podcast where I learned about some interesting cheetah facts that are rarely mentioned in documentaries. Enjoy! I have been dreaming a while now about writing about animals and our relationship or misconceptions about them. But who reads blogs nowadays anyway, huh? So I tried to keep short, funny and a bit educational. Maybe, maybe this is the start of a new project. Thanks for reading and till next time, Andi Pasti

Woolly on a rabbit - illustration

To bridge the gap between the published first issue of Woolly Wonderful and creating an engaging story, I used the time to draw some sort of concept that I imagined for a second issue. I tried a slightly different process this time, to find out if I could save some time in the comic page creation. Finished piece Usually after the pencil stage, the inking will be done, either over very detailed pencils or rougher pencils, depending on the artist’s confidence. But ink will not give you any variance in tone like pencils can give you. Thus, some artists only have a pencil stage and darken the pencils afterwards to make them more stand-out. Any thin or weaker lines will still be visible with a still lighter tone and might give it a bit of a rougher finish to it. This indeed can help to make the art appear less digital.  Main character pencils Pencils complete Pencils with shadow layer The picture in general has more of a children’s book feeling about it, especially through the lighter b...
