The ochre pencil is barely visible on the page, but it scans so darkly. This was just meant to be a light, loose sketch that I’d either ink or darken with the browner pencil later. The sun rays have no particular meaning, they’re just fun to draw.
I don’t know why I end up drawing itty bitty sketches in one corner of the page. Such a waste of space. Maybe I’ll draw a kitten on the other side, or some of those propaganda poster sun rays.
Another yellow ochre/burnt ochre/turquoise blue experiment. It may be time to branch out into other combinations. Or maybe I’ll fill this little sketchbook first.

Just playing with the pencils again. Although it wasn’t a very crowded or busy convention today, I didn’t manage to do much drawing while there.
Since the previous sketch was Felix at 18, here he is at, oh, let’s call it early 20s. Actually, we never see Felix in plate armour (lorica segmentata) except in SPQR Noir, the page created for Free Comic Book Day 2007. (2007? Wow, you folks have been waiting a long time for this story.) I’ll [...]
Printed out a sheet with multiple iterations so I can play with the markers. The scan isn’t quite reproducing the original, so this will also be an exercise for me in figuring out how to do some colour correction. (click to see larger)
Same as yesterday’s, but in colour. I’m still learning how to use the coloured pencils. Some of the pencils used here are actually the watercolour ones I’m more accustomed to, but I mistakenly used a non-waterproof ink for the black outline. So this wasn’t quite the look I’d intended, but I’m learning as I go. [...]
