nice . a little too "brownie" for me though. Like the first one and "lunch with the pigs.
btw , what did you do to the background? I thought the whole paper was brown? you "photoshop" it off?

the mickey Ears 1 is my fave!!

Like "prodigal.jpg" the 1st jpeg- looks like a scene from a sick porn flick when viewed small :D. Where have u "been: Drew??!! Its floral porn!!

don't see why u must draw on brown paper and then erase it.

I like the 3rd and 4th one. I think the white scratch strokes on the brown is nice.
You're using the brown paper for the texture?

the brown paper has got a nice feel combined with your drawings. :D and tsk tsk chairman always makes normal things look and sound indecent.

This is really cool. Looks relatively simple at first glance but at closer inspection, you've applied quite a bit of details into the rendering with the texture, the whiteouts, brushy strokes etc. Love the details. I like the dynamic angle of mouse man and the composition and lines of the boy eating with pigs :)

thanks for the feedback everyone. wow so many comments. mindflyer your comments post worked. one must be familiar with porn to see it everywhere tho haha. that was a scene from the prodigal son from the bible btw. i used browned paper so i could play with highlights like how san san does it. its not correction pen, its a white ink signo pen. i have to change the name of mouseman, i heard that name used on the radio already! but he's just for fun.

Nice! I like the first one - the perspective and the movement is great :) The highlights and lines flow so effortlessly, looks like you have reached another level of skill! Agree with zeropointfive - still waters run deep!

I like all of them... especially the details in each. The yellowish tint gives the illustrations an old photo look which I really enjoy too.

Let me humbly say my 3 cents worth.
I think the quality and quantity you draw's awesome. All these sketches instead of just being solo page illustration spawn out of spare time sketching could evolve into a project. I say this because i would really hate to see a good potential sketch just ended and waste away its possibility to grow into something fantastic.
Moreover you had actually spend time in photoshop adding colours and making it looked like a finish piece of work.
I'm sure you got loads of ideas and images in your head that are dying to be materialize. Keep up the good work.
