For being a comic artist (well, at least on a pastime basis) my list of comic’s I’ve read is very small. I don’t read much comics at all and I don’t read a lot of books either. This is a big weakness of mine, since we all know that to become good at something, you need to study it hard. You can’t become a writer without reading a lot – and that’s why I’m not a perfect writer. I don’t read a lof of comics and that’s why I still have a lot to learn about creating comics.

When my good friend Emelie gave me Bone by Jeff Smith my understanding for comics of the kind I want to make changed – a lot! I am very thankful for that! It’s one of the best gifts I have ever gotten. When someone mention a good comic and I say I haven’t read it and get a “You haven’t read the comic of COMICS!? And you are supposed to make comics?” I can at least say that I have read Bone. It’s a brilliant piece and I have learnt alot by reading it over again. Jeff Smith sure knows how to draw and write! And best of all – it’s opened up a world of comics that I still need to explore. There are so many comic artists out there that I need to study!

Anyway, here’s a week from the 365 project – where I drew some of the characters of Bone. Enjoy!

These were originally drawn in
2010 June 7:th – 2010 June 13:th

   Bone is one of my favorite stories! Lucius looks especially good – and he’s probably my favorite character from that book. Are you reading Jeff Smith’s new book, “RASL”? It’s different in tone but I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

   I haven’t read RASL yet! I should get on to it! Lucius is my favorite too – as well as Rose!

   i think rose needs more of a chin that sticks out, other than that, everything looks really reallly good. fone bone doesnt look like him though

     Hey, thanks for stopping by and commending, Cindy! They sure were different to draw compared to what I am used to draw – so I guess they all got a touch of my own style as well! Glad you liked them, and thanks for the pointers.
