The one where Buddy convinces Jimmy to disobey an order

63/365

I’m getting faster at sketching an idea then inking it, partly because my ideas for my recent drawing are less elaborate. I’m more concerned about getting my point across as directly as possible than I’m concerned about my “art.”

Today’s picture is a good example. My original sketch was just two talking heads that only I could recognize as a butterfly and a jay bird. To get to the point, I drew the butterfly huge to elicit the feeling that despite his actual small size, he was capable of overwhelming Jimmy Jay by persuasion.

Pen and ink again.
