eclectic artwork & other random things

My art process has changed significantly over the decades. Today, I start with an iPad where I figure everything out. I do a finished pencil drawing on a piece of typing paper and load that into Photoshop for coloring…
…but back in the day I worked gigantic! Huge sheets of watercolor paper, paint splattered all over my studio and I had to do all the headline text and graphics by hand.

amazing art!! have you/will you do like a YouTube video of your process? would love to see that creative process! MG
You’ve always been my favorite cartoonist. And I still enjoy seeing your new pieces.
just awesome Dennis, do you gray scale the entire drawing then put color on top of the gray tones?
Jimmy, my little video did not quite line up with what I was saying in text. That greyscale came from the finished color picture. I was just using it for a transition. I have tried doing greyscale renders first and THEN adding color to them (because it kinda makes sense to figure the values out that way) but I have never been able to add color to a greyscale where the color doesn’t just die a horrible death… so for me, it’s straight to color on top of my pencil drawing.
