THE ART OF MEL CASIPIT

Spiderman sketch Nightwing and Huntress Sketch Ichigo Sketch This one's my Original character "Shooter" I did most of these sketches at the office when we have high avail time(meaning, there are no calls on que). What I do is bring a piece of coupon bond, divide it into 4 equal parts and do the sketches. I draw anything under the sun, most of the time I do Fan arts of superheroes and animes. My original creation MLU was also done this way as well as the thumbnails for my Baboy original comics. Using ballpen as a sketching pen s not easy, specially if you're not used to it but once you got the hang of it, it's not as hard as it looks. So how does it go when you make a mistake? For me, you just have to continue skecthing, some minor errors can be remidied, but some mistakes need to be redone. Hope you like my sketches you can check my DA specially dedicated to ballpen sketches here .

The Winning Comics: MLU MLU is my newest comics entry for the 5th Komikon Comics Creation Contest. I was able to get the Best Entry award for the 3rd Consecutive time. Baboy won last Komikon Nov 2008 and second time is for Dogstyle last May 2009 at the Komikon Summer Fiesta. I am very happy that many have appreciated my comics, I'm doing this Blog to share why I did and how I did MLU : 1. First I will write the story, usually, for my comics since it's only a few pages I just think what the story is about. 2. Then I do the thumbnails, in this stage I decide how the panels are layed out on each page and how many pages will my comics be. 3. Next is pencilling, I just follow what I draw on the thumbnails stage so thumbnails are critical you need to put all the important details on it so when its pencillixng time you will not waste time thinking what to draw. 4. And lastly the inking stage, this stage usally takes time, specially if you want to put as much detail on comics as you ...

Sa wakas! Natapos at umabot sa deadline ang aking pangatlong entry sa Komikon Comics Creation Contest na may pamagat na MLU . Bakit MLU? Madami namang pwedeng gawing title? Yung malakas ang dating. Mlu ba kasi wala na akong maisip na ibang kulay na nagsisimula sa letrang "M" maliban sa Maroon? kaya Mlu nalang o kaya Miolet? Siyempre hinde, Mlu kasi nauuso ngayon 'yung love-team na pinagsasama yung pangalan ng magka-love-team tulad ng: Kimerald ( Kim and Gerald) at Brangelina (Brad Pitt and Angelina) kaya naisip ko, ako din!
