On the Bridge drawing.

If you’re curious about the bridge drawing at the top of my first post this evening, the answer is yes: I drew something. I felt inspired, and the bridge kept showing up in my head. So, I finally got my Wacom Graphire (Version 1) out and got the proper drivers installed for Pen Pressure in Photoshop. From there, I took a cue from A List Apart and tried my hand with some greyscale.

I was pleased with the result, and more pleased with my process. I drew it in Photoshop (for good or ill) at 11×14 @ 300dpi on cleanly separated layers and even made large revisions when I felt them necessary. Here’s a detail of the broken bridge support:

    I should show you sometime the section in Scott McCloud’s “Making Comics” where he talks about his process for drawing entirely digitally. Hint: The DPI he draws it seems really excessive.

    Nice drawing!
