...sketchbook studying/readjusting - disappointed by my colors generally, as well as inking so laboriously. Therefore studied Max Fiuamara & James Harren as pencilers who ink their own work. Fiumara studies used copic multiliners, uniball type pens, Gelly Rolls and felt really flat - unappealing... so went to the stash of Harren BPRD issues (personal favs) & found a some real characters & used Japanese Pentel Pocket Brush / Copic Gasenfude Brush tip pens & just let loose with the Wite-Out (Gelly Rolls not very helpful here) Lastly, Dave Stewart is the GOAT - could praise his work endlessly. (Col Erase /  Ink / TVPaint)

Read the original 4 issues back when I started collecting comics again. About to dive in a second time with the trade. Four Eyes is about Enrico, a young boy in depression era America where dragons exist. It's a fantastic story with gorgeous artwork and a lotta heart. #FourEyes #Image #JoeKelly #MaxFiumara #dragons #graphicnovels @imagecomics
