Just found your blog – amazing stuff. Gonna dig through and enjoy it.

I can’t imagine HOW you work that small – it boggles my mind. I made my panels larger just so I could work more comfortably. The smaller I work, the worse my drawings get. I think it’s quite a skill to work like that.

And your brushwork is amazing.

Where do you get the things to make your pen all fat and rubbery and ridged? I have hand troubles also and am always looking for fat implements.

I absolutely cannot wait for this. I spent my last semester in school studying Arabic and taking classes on Middle Eastern history. It looks like you’ve got some real magic going here. Good luck!

I have to draw big. Everything just gets too cramped up for me if I draw small and it shows in the work.

I’ve never worked in a graphic novel format before, I do illustration and animation but I was invited to contribute to Flight 6 and man! Can it ever be difficult to work in panels. But you get used to it. It took me about 5 spreads before I hit a stride.

I salute you.

i prefer drawing in a small size.
i think the result looks less ambitious (wich i like), but anyway it´s easyer to focus on what you want highlighted.
gess really big panels are more suited for alex ross and travis charest kind of artist. other than that it´s not really needed, i think…

I never really noticed that! Your panels are always full of details as the guys and girls write above, and yet they never feel confined.

And yep, that is one huge leaf

I tend to work really small, too. My right wrist and hand constantly cramp up, but I actually feel really uncomfortable working very big, like my muscles aren’t supposed to work that way.
