A&A : Pages 74-77
Thought it would be nice to post a little something. Been quite busy with other projects, but these are still coming along, bit by bit.
For this A&A project, I draw these original angel aliens (or alien angels) directly into the book with a ballpoint. Many passes are made with the pen to define and thicken the lines. Then they are colored with wax crayon and colored pencil.

Another couple spreads from this project, which is moving along slowly, but still moving along.

A&A : pages 68-69
I have several A&A spreads drawn, but fell behind in getting color on the pages. So many projects, and still only 24 hours to a day. Found some time to color this one yesterday and decided to post it without waiting for additional ones to join it. A good way to begin the new year.

A&A : pages 60-67
The latest trio of angel aliens, or alien angels. I had to return the borrowed Papermate Dyna-Grip+ pen to its owner, but after a little shopping around, I picked up a Papermate Profile. That seems to be doing the job nicely, smoothly laying down a very dark ink. Only time will tell if it will leech through the paper (as the Smoothie did over time).
Pages 62-63 were blank and the heading for a book division, respectively. As such they didn't offer any text to work over so I skipped them.

A&A : Pages 54-59
Finished a few more A&A spreads. The first two were drawn as usual with the Bic Smoothie, but when that pen ran out of ink and I couldn't find the replacements (they're around here somewhere), I borrowed a PaperMate Dyna-Grip+ and found myself pretty happy with using that. The Dyna-Grip+ applies darker, requiring less effort to thicken the lines.
