5 Year Plan

Been swamped with Uni work so haven't done much cartoonistry. Drew this a while ago, hasn't been published yet. Didn't think about the web formatting before I decided to do a double-size second panel. Oh well.

Forever experimenting...

Deleted for being really really awful.

5 Year Plan

I believe back in May 2006 I announced my plans to start writing a comic.
Well, seven-ish months later I have finally knuckled down and drawn one, my thanks to both Sarrk, (recent inspiration to just go ahead and publish what I have,) and imdead, (for the initial support when I announced my plan.) Also to Robbie Nielson who you guys don't know, but was kind enough to give me some pointers, and who's own cartooning work has always been an inspiration.

So this comic is called "5 Year Plan". It is called that because I am doing a five year Uni course, and because it was the name of the Soviet plan to electrify Russia, (just mentioned that to prove how smart I am.) It is very amature work, each character is hand sketched, (sketching being different in my vocabulary from what real cartoonists do because real cartoonists us guidelines and all that other stuff I havn't learned,) and hand inked before being scanned and positioned using Fireworks, (don't kill me, I'll be getting Photoshop soon,) thus it is not in colour or even greyscale because Fireworks is useless.

Feel free to comment or whatever. I will be working on formatting to get the comics larger and everything fitting in the panels better. Also, don't comment about hands, I know they suck. The whole thing is still very much a work in progress.

Haha. Dude, that was pretty good. If I saw that in a magazine/newspaper I would definately laugh.

+1 for being an aspiring cartoonist and for doing a good job.

Very good TY, One thing I wanna note, is that the guy on the left has his hand in his pocket at all times, and it looks akward in the first one, might wanna consider not doing that so much. Your not bad at drawing hands, so don't hide em. That can help to make the characters seem more animated. Other than that, bang up work man.

in the last two panels (or whatever you wanna call them) he looks like hes reaching down his trousers rather than having his hand in his pocket.

other than that yeah its good
don't moan about hands, every artistic person i know moans about hands as well and they really arn't that bad

Meh. Free comic, you get what you pay for. *shrug*

I know this is not good, far from it, I always seem look back on my old stuff and regret it later. I just decided to bite the bullet here and just get it out there.

I hate lookin back on my older stuff, I shudder.

Anyway, taking a break from comics for now, should have my latest one up by tonight or earlier.

I might need a name and a backstory too..

Ty, it's truly great.
I love the way you draw your characters and make them lifelike, the expressions, the movements, everything.
You may think that that is a lot to say from looking at 4 pics and a sig, but I will tell you this, I have read comics, so many comics. And I think you should go ahead and publish it.

More more more!

That's pretty good, love the artwork. Please feature Sergio Bennet in your next comic, maybe something involving him getting maimed by a wood chipper or a sewage processing plant.
