Pictured above is a screenshot of my photoshop document window. I would consider these my "pencils" - I've been working on this book completely digital, either on my modbook or cintiq. I've been approaching the same way I would a traditional page... i pencil things out using a 3-5 pixel brush set @ around 40% opacity - keep working it up until I like where things are going.Eventually I'll save a jpg and send it over to my editor - if things look good, I'll get the OK to "ink" them - Pictured below is a crop of one of the pages I'm currently building up "ink" wise.
I suppose thats why they say it's important to draw EVERYTHING and then when you're done, do it again. Cause eventually... sooner than later... you'll probably come across it in a script. I, unfortunately, haven't drawn everything there is. I do however have google images and a friend with a neat motorcycle.

But you do such great horses! :) Awesome post - glad to see the new stuff you're working on. Looks great!
hey.. so are you mac all the way or do you mix it up? I've got a windows desktop.. but I'm thinking of getting a modbook.. doesn't seem like there's anything else like it out there..
gary- i'm using windows on my desktop & cintiq - and I just save the files over for use on the modbook/mac - a good alternative to the modbook is the motion computing le 1600 - waaay cheaper.
looking for something that would be my second unit when I'm out of the house (home pc is windows).. don't want to replicate all my software for the mac platform but then the le 1600 doesn't look very robust (and has a very short battery life)..
might just get a plain old laptop..
