RIP Maurice Sendak

One of my favorite books when I was a child was Sendak and Jarrell’s The Animal Family. In the daily maelstrom of hurt that was my family the book served as a solace and a promise of hope. The first drawing I can remember being truly proud of was a copy of the first chapter illustration by Maurice Sendak I made when I was 12. I bought a bristol board, Speedball india ink, and a crow quill pen and very carefully copied the illustration. It took me hours, but those hours were such an escape, and the originals were masterful in technique and feeling. My drawing is long since lost, but the comfort and joy of Sendak’s work has stayed with me all these years.

golgafrincham: It was so sad when they started demolishing the Waffle Shop. I wanted to steal the beautiful tile wall (the wavy lines you see at the far left of the counter) but most of all the sign. THAT is a font, my friends. Steal to save them for posterity, of course. rogerwilkerson: Waffle Shop, photograph by Theodor Horydczak

This installment of said comic features extended editions of the fight between Iron Man and a Holocaust-referencing Magneto (Iron Man wins) and the fight between The Thing and Namor (The Thing wins). Neither of the fights are poorly drawn. However, nor are they drawn in such a way that’ll make you jump out of your seat and screech CONFOUND IT, THIS BE THE KING’S OWN ENTERTAINMENT while spitting on that picture of Jack Kirby that everybody spits on whenever they read an Avengers comic, because fuck that dead guy and his shifty family, they keep trying to steal the pajama gang movies from the big company that makes all the best presents, and they’re gonna lose anyway, because justice is for douchebags and so is trying.

arturmuller: Let’s Go Together Here is my first try at a somewhat realistic approach with Paper. What a blast. The tools are so versatile! Ok here are a couple of observations I had whilst drawing. For *this* kind of drawing you need a stylus. Bamboo is nice. You can rest your hand on the iPad bezel and *most of the time* you will not accidentally touch the screen and mess with your drawing It’s handy to lock your screen orientation so that you can turn your iPad around as you please. That way you will always be within drawing reach anywhere on the canvas from your resting position on the edge of the device. The pencil is actually really good at creating transitions/gradients. They will not be perfectly smooth but I actually really like the lined texture. All of the colors get pretty dramatic (dark, saturated) when you paint enough layers. That’s awesome. You can pinch back to the pages view to get a more distanced view of your piece (like an artist walking away from the canvas to get a clearer view…)
