Learning with the left hand

I've been practicing backgrounds recently by doing them with my left hand, so far I've been really enjoying it! I'm hoping that eventually I can do the backgrounds for my comic with my left hand and the characters with my right.

SKIP boards- part 2

Another set of boards. The rule for Arthur and Mesi transitioning between film genres in this version is that it's always through a reflective surface; mirrors, sword blades, you name it. Lends itself to some interesting options! Anyway this is a 'to be continued' section so hang in there for the next installment (it could take a while...).

SKIP feature boards - shower scene

So there's been some interest from my tumblr followers about the fact that I have a feature version of SKIP stowed away in my brain, so I've started doing a couple of boards as a means of showing little parts of it, as well as keeping up board practice.

They ended up being more of a clumsy hybrid between beat boards and storyboards to save my sanity (doing them on top of an actual storyboarding job and the web comic proved to be a little tricky), but I enjoyed the exercise so I will likely keep doing them in my spare time.

This scene is very obviously a parody so most of the hard work was already done for me :'D
