ICECUBES the comic strip #348

Posted on February 16, 2024 by Leroy Brown

Wow, page 3 of Freeze's big movie! This one was more challenging for me because I got behind schedule and had to double down to finish it. I hope you like this series. It certainly is a new look! Remember: Support ICECUBES and click on the ads!

  Thank you! I drew the first panel as a tribute to traditional Innupiaq art. 🙂

Leroy, your comic strip is awesome. I don’t understand why ICECUBES isn’t a household name… All the best from Paris.

Comic strip blocking.

Posted on February 17, 2009 by Leroy Brown

‘Blocking’ just means blocking out how the action gets laid out on the page. In this case I was trying to work out the way Peckinpaw tripped and fell by making the gesture and movement read well in the limited amount of space of the 13″ x 4″ strip. Some artists call this the storyboarding stage. It’s real important to do this before you start drawing the real strip or else you will be erasing and restarting a lot. I always try to avoid a lot of erasing because it can introduce smudges that are hard to get rid of. It can also mess up the surface of the paper making it harder to ink. You can see click on the final published strip here.
