My biggest problem is going from larger to smaller. After drawing
character sketches on the backs of old comic boards, in a 10x15 area,
I'll switch to my 8.5x11 sketchbook and wind up cutting my characters
off at the ankles. Talk about embarrassing.

Stephen, Are you a comic book artist? Forgive my ignorance... I don't read many comics these days!

JB: does that mean that the double page spread of the X-Men on the Shi'ar Starship that sold for a Gazillion dollars is on a single 10x15"?•• No. Happily, Marvel's ruinous flirtation with sideways "spreads" died just about the time I got into the business. None of my double-page spreads were done that way.

have issues figuring out how to load images on the forum, but I'll try
and put some in the sketchbook thread.

I have NIGHTMARES about that Commission!Since it was revealed, I have simply drooled over it, having saved the JPG for a while just to call on it to starefor a few moments. Then, one day, I had a daydream/nightmare (don't ask) in which a small child came across it, and brandishing Crayolas, well..... I can't go on!

I had a dream a few decades ago -- but still very vivid in my memory -- in which I was sitting at my drawing board, finishing up a page, when someone walked up behind me, picked up my ink bottle, and poured it on the page!According to the young woman with whom I was sharing my bed at the time, I literally "woke up screaming"!
