Willy is my comic strip character from way back in the day. He got his first start in my 6th grade class in like 1990. After much thinking about characters for a comic strip I always come back to Willy. He will have new friends and adventures and he will always be funny. I am also going to experiment with different styles of comic strips. This style I like because there is no "inking" on the drawing. I drew the orginal in pencil and straight scanned that in. It gives the lines in my illustration movment and although it is not perfectly clean, who cares. There are no comics out there now with this type of style. Most prefer the traditional method of starting in blue pencil and gradually working up to inking. I scaned this directly into photoshop and beefed up the pencil lines with levels and burning. I added color this time with Pshop, the backgrounds are lightly muted. I will try to add a new comic once a week.
