Well, cool ICECUBES fans, here it is! ICECUBES the comic strip #300!! Wow, what an amazing adventure. From it's humble beginnings years ago as an idea to do a strip about an Eskimo, a Penguin, a Polar Bear and a Walrus to several books, conventions and tons of new friends! Thank you all so much for being readers and fans of ICECUBES. It's so much fun to make the strip for you guys to read. Here's to 300 more! :DLeroy Brown

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.

Pencils.

I like how these pencils look. Sometimes the pencils look better than the finished ink job. I hate when that happens! Oh well, you decide.Notice how I always extend the drawing beyond the panel in order to get a balanced feeling. You can click on the image to get a better look.The finished comic strip is here.

Gestural drawing.

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Leroy Brown

It’s all in the gesture! That’s where you get the energy and ‘funny’ into your drawings. So I always spend time practicing each drawing on a sketch pad by drawing big circles and blobs for the heads and bodies of my characters. This helps me ‘anchor’ them into place and make them feel real. Be sure to always get a good under-drawing happening before committing to the final. No amount of style can make up for a poorly balanced drawing.

So get crazy and start making ‘gestural drawings’! 🙂
