      Thanks Vince, I don’t normally scan the pencil of the comic, since I use real ink but this pencil was appealing and I thought if I mess up the ink at least I have the scan to prove that the original drawing was good 😉 Then I came up with the idea to animate all 3 stages.

ICECUBES the comic strip.

Posted on October 16, 2009 by Leroy Brown
ICECUBES Wow, what a difference a week makes! Last week I was all excited about being in the top 250 and this week ICECUBES didn’t make it to the next round. Oh well, Peckinpaw, Nooky, Freeze and Eggman tried their very best that’s for sure. I just need to do better next time! It sure was great to get all your support. We’re going to make sure you continue to get great strips right here at ICECUBES. In the meantime, thanks soooo much for your awesome support! 🙂 Leroy Brown

Layouts.

Posted on June 19, 2009 by Leroy Brown
ICECUBES Charles Schulz always hand lettered all of his comics. He never used assistants the way some others did, ie. Garfield and Doonesbury. He said that he needed to letter his own strips because he didn’t know what the copy would be until the last minute. Changes always happen while you’re drawing a strip, like in this case when I decided to change the panel layout. The text I had wouldn’t read well in the layout I had so I joined the two middle panels and adjusted the drawing instead. You can still see the construction lines for the old layout (orange arrow). Here’s the final strip. ICECUBES

Peckinpaw Descending a Staircase by Leroy Brown
“Peckinpaw Descending A Staircase” by Leroy Brown. Acrylic Painting of Peckinpaw Descending a Staircase. Painted in honor of Marcel Duchamp for the Mocca Fest 2009 in New York City held at the famous Armory, where Duchamp first showed his ‘Nude Descending a Staircase’ in 1913! Duchamp’s painting changed modern art forever! You can buy a print of this at the ICECUBES store!

Practice before committing.

ICECUBES When I’m planning out a drawing, sometimes I need to make some real quick sketches to work out simple things like a hand position. In this case I wanted to try out some different hand positions so that the pen he is holding didn’t cut across his face and disrupt the drawing. So I moved it around. You can see the published comic strip here.

ICECUBES Here I was trying to figure out how to get Peckinpaw to cross his legs and look natural… not as easy as you would think! Tip: the shin and knee are foreshortened!

Casper and Harvey’s Friendly Comics.

Posted on April 25, 2009 by Leroy Brown
ICECUBES Everyone knows Casper the Friendly Ghost and everyone remembers reading Harvey Comics when they were kids. Casper, Richie Rich, Little Dot, Little Audrey, Spooky and Hot Stuff are all characters that are truly part of America’s collective memory. We love those characters because they are all so friendly and funny. Harvey Comics is part of everyone’s childhood and lucky for me part of that childhood came back to life when I visited the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art in New York City. The Art of Harvey Comics was a really neat exhibit that featured original art from Harvey comic books by stalwarts such as Ernie Colon, Sid Couchey, Warren Kremer and Howard Post. It was just great to see the original art and even greater to meet founder Alfred Harvey’s son Russel Harvey. Russel is a multitalented artist in his own right and wears many hats including TV producer, photographer, writer and comic artist. ICECUBESRussel Harvey (right) and MoCCA director Karl Erickson (left), NYC, April 2009 Russel regaled us with stories of what is was like to grow up in a world of comic art giants. Apparently Charles Schulz really used to say ‘good grief’ and Joe Simon (Captain America) could draw in virtually any style. I had a great time and just want to thank MoCCA’s director Karl Erickson for being so welcoming and Russel Harvey for being -true to the Harvey name- so very friendly! 🙂 Leroy Brown

Positions.

Posted on April 4, 2009 by Leroy Brown
ICECUBES When I’m planning out my strips I try to draw the characters in different poses to see which ones work best. It’s a good idea to try things out before drawing the strip and to experiment. Often times I come up with unusual results and that goes into the strip. The funnier the better! 🙂 Be sure to take the poll! This coming week will be the last week.
