My new book features intricate crosshatching art.

I appreciating the aesthetic value of conventional creative tools. Cartoonists historically utilized quills and dip nibs in the early days of comics over a century ago, and these enduring tools will remain relevant if we continue to employ them. #inkcomics #inkdrawing #dippen #ink

I've chosen to produce my book, which is traditionally hand-drawn, using no computers. It will also be published in black-and-white, keeping the 1940s traditional look of the crosshatching artistry.

I traditionally sketch out my idea first with a pencil, and then use a non-photo blue pencil.

The main character is enjoying his plush doll relaxation, not ready to pitch his name to the world yet, eventually. Enjoy the view.

Sneak peek page. (Traditional hand-drawn) I love the aesthetic of early 40s comics.
My book will prominently feature a striking black-and-white style that captures that classic look perfectly.
