ICECUBES the comic strip.

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.

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!
