Warming up - How to draw Tiger
PaulEberhardt on Jan. 9, 2017
Hi, everyone! Missed me?
At any rate I missed you and all that webcomicking stuff, but that all-too long wait should now be over. From Friday 13th, for that's always a great date, I will finally continue this comic on something approaching a two-weekly basis. I've already done a couple of new pages, some even in colour, and it may well be possible that on top of everything I may be able to add some more before my buffer runs out again.
It's good to be back, at any rate. I keep saying that just about every time I update after an unnervingly long hiatus (unnerving for me at least as much as it probably is for you), but it does feel like coming home.
In the meantime, I've got this little filler to bridge the last few days of waiting. Since I took part in so many forum and community blog discussions about making comics, I thought I might as well give you something of an insight in my preferred working mode. So I scanned the typical three stages of a typical Tiger drawing - pencil, ink, colour - and juxtaposed them with a couple of photos of my preferred working gear. ;) It was a nice exercise for using Gimp, too, even if that's the one tool I normally hardly ever use for comics (with one exception among the upcoming updates).
See you this Friday with a new update, and thanks to everyone who found their way back here to read Master the Tiger!

Best Christmas gift I've gotten in a long time. Even if it is a couple of weeks late. Master that Tiger is back, and all is right with the world.
