Breathing For Dummies


Here's this week's Incompatibles installment. Above you can see the initial drawing before cleanup and coloring. I knew I'd be cropping the action on this, so I left it unfinished on the outskirts. In hindsight, I made his shirt a little too drapey, especially on his upper back. I think I got too happy crosshatching folds, that happens sometimes. I am happy with his overall pose and expression, though, particularly his left hand. It has that nice "throes of death" look about it. The fine balance here was not going too overboard on the blue in his lips and eyes. I wanted him to look just about expired.
