Collaboration

Collaboration, when it goes well, is really fun. My friend R. Gagnon and I collaborated on a comic strip, and other projects. It's been too long since the last time, but we'd also sit in bars with a pint, as with last night, and he'd draw inks over some of my pencil sketches. The results as above. I also enjoyed inking some of his drawings, but he's not such a sketchbook fiend as I am.

It's thrilling seeing one of your drawings acquiring a new life, as you look over someone's shoulder, or watch it upside down on the other side of the table. Later, there are little nitpicks (I wish I'd aligned things better, but the leaning girl works, at least for me). There are also difficulties in motivating a two-headed beast, or agreeing on how to proceed.
