Andi Pasti's Animal Art

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.

Hello dear reader, welcome to my blog. I am glad you found me among the enormous amount of other blogs around the world. I will keep this introduction short, I am not (yet) a professional illustrator, also I can't execute this profession at full-time. But that's not a big deal. Nevertheless I am eager to create amazing drawings and step up my game with the line and shading wizardry. Amongst the occasional animal, or more, dinosaur drawing, you will find progress on my comic creation documented. I haven't been into comics really big for a long time, but I recently found that comics offer a different experience and a whole new universe of stories and immersion opened up for me. For your curiosity what is this all about and until the next blog entry, enjoy this little drawing of my woolly puppet that I did as kind of a master study. Influenced by Sophie Campbell: So if you are interested in my process, follow this blog and keep being updated. Cheers, Andi
