Swamp

 As with everything we seem to do in life, whatever the task you always have to start wit a first step, a rough copy or in this instance a Cartoon Rough.

Cartoon Roughs

Some of the best drawings I do never get to go to print. These drawings are called "Roughs". They range from very quick thumbnail sketches hastily scribbled to visualise a gag idea. To a more carefully drawn sketch that will later be traced and inked as the finished cartoon.

 Roughs are often drawn very fast in the hope that this will help capture a sense of action you want your finished cartoon to have.

- Roughs take only seconds to draw.
- Doing the final inking over the top of the pencil rough take a lot longer.

However, sometimes a rough is drawn many times and rubbed out many times before I get it the way I want it.
