ICECUBES the comic strip. #0200
Posted on January 25, 2012 by Leroy Brown
Well here is #200 folks! Hooray for ICECUBES! :) I want to dedicate this ICECUBES strip #200 to my Grandfather who a long time ago told me that there were jobs in the world where people drew for a living. He was an engineer himself and did technical drawings professionally. I inherited some of his tools and used his ink dip compass to draw the sun in this strip. No computers, just real ink.

      Thanks Thomas! 200 seems like a lot, but then sometimes I wonder, what only 200? It seems like a lot of work… Hope you are well 🙂

Inazuma 11!

Leo did this great drawing of his new favorite cartoon Inazuma 11. It’s not out in the US yet, but it looks pretty cool. I always thought a cartoon about a soccer team would be a great idea!©ICECUBES

Blobs.

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Leroy Brown
Eggman is the perfect character to show off the ‘blobs’ drawing technique. I find that the best way to give the characters more of a real feeling is to think of them as being made of blobs. By drawing big round blobs I can work out their positions and get a sense of their place in space. It also helps to give them some weight so they don’t look like they are two dimensional or floating in the panel. Here’s a great example of drawing blobs. Drawing blobs.

King of the Hill.

Posted on April 25, 2011 by Leroy Brown
My favorite cartoon is by far King of the Hill. I just love the understated tone and the rhythm of the stories. It’s not full of slap dash one liners, sex jokes or poop humor. It’s hard to write like that and I think Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead fame created a good cartoon. Dauterive.
One of Bill Dauterive’s relatives.

Everybody knows Hank Hill’s self loathing neighbor Bill Dauterive. The inside joke is that one of the original writers and executive producer’s name is Jim Dauterive. Here’s picture proof that there’s another Dauterive out there too! 🙂

Crime Scene!

Here is where I spilled my ink bottle last week… the entire bottle! Note the Ralph Steadman drawing that somehow crept in 🙂 ©ICECUBES For those inquiring minds, that’s ‘Merton Of The Movement’ peaking out from the comics box. Know your classics!
