Turtle Library webcomic #9

The King of Police (or K.O.P.) sure is a bag of contradictions.  Wisdom and foolishness in [approximately] equal measure.  I'm excited to see how this character and his gang evolve as the story  goes on!  

Looking through my photos to grab this week's pencils, I realized I had taken photo reference for the previous week's strip.  I don't usually take this much (usually I don't take any), but I've been thinking I should start.  I rarely use reference very directly in the  first place (as you can see when comparing these photos and last weeks strip),  but I bet it saves a lot of time drawing and re-drawing as I try and figure out on the page how a some awkward pose or other works.  

Then again, that can be a satisfying puzzle-like process of its own...

Anyhow, here are the pencil's from this week's strip:


...and here are a bunch of photos, followed by the strip they were taken for:

Thanks Mom! I think its pretty cool too :0) Even if I haven't taken a photo, I am still using my mental map of my own body to figure out poses in my mind and on the page, so in a way, photos like that are a snapshot of the inside of my head while drawing!

Haha! I love seeing how your poses translate to the piece you're working on, very cool!
