Ghost samples 1 and 2

Description

Decided to add some old fashioned hand pencils to my portfolio, so I worked up these samples from the Dark Horse sample script off their website. I actually did the layouts in Manga Studio, but the finishes, at least, are plain old graphite on bristol. This is a fun script; I actually drew it years ago for an illustration class. I'll probably do two more from this story; won't have time for all eight, but four should be a good showing. If any inkers are interested, just note me for the high res. Ghost is copyright of Dark Horse comics.

edit: made some fixes after a good chat with the guru: :iconhyperjack08:

These are great!

Starting off you have a great establishing shot of the scene. I can instantly tell where we are throughout the two pages. I'm guessing it is night judging by the sliver of moon in the sky. The big shadow under the tiny figure implies daytime. The only shadows we have to go by are the ones coming from headlights.

Moving on we see that it is raining and it's more obvious it is night. we can tell this guy is running away and scared, your facial expressions and body language are great throughout.

First shot of page 2 is awesome! Great job on the buildings. Don't forget to mark the shadow for her foot there before it gets forgotten. In panel three she has floated away from the brick wall out into the alleyway and then floats back to the wall in panel four. I didn't think that was intentional. Love the skidding car. I can't tell if you've broken the 180 degree rule or not here.

Your layout of the panels works well, on page one I think there may be too much open space around the round panel. That round border gives the impression of being in the spotlight so I don't think you should get rid of it, but maybe have it bigger.

All solid. Some of what I wrote about could probably be fixed with inks or colors but the intent should still be in the pencils. I'm not familiar with the script and couldn't find it on the darkhorse page so don't read too much into some of my star ratings, just keep up the awesome work!
