Michael S Berglands Sketchbook...New Computer. Ya!

That really sucks Bergy, and yep, we all do it. And will do it again I'm sure. We always say I need to make sure to remember, but I think we get so caught up in the artwork, that we eventually forget again. I wish you could set it up to auto-save every 5 or 10 minutes or so. Unless you have a clock nearby, that will sound off every 15 minutes. As long as you pay attention to it. ... Like everyone else, look forward to the updates.

Yup. All that was left was my Jameson's bottle to color in. Oh well. So I went back at it. But did not feel like ccoloring panel 1 so I finished 2 instead and started 3.

As promised here is some stuff from my sketchbook with some descriptions on my mental process and how I figured some of this all out. I hope you enjoy seeing this side as well.

I love seeing the behind the scenes sketchbook stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Gix, and you're welcome

Here is some random stuff from the same sketchbook. They were all inked with Fable Castle markers and colored with Touch Felt Markers. Which I lost in a cab awhile back.

Love the color sketches. You need to find that taxi and get your markers back or get a new set .

Agree with Gixgidea; cool to see some of the thought process in creating this.

Thanks Kodabble.
Can't find the cab. It was a few months ago. The set was like 200$cdn. +tax. Plan on getting a new one someday I might pick up some Coptic markers thou.

Loving the sketches. Too bad about the makers. I think I would have turned the world up side down looking for them.
I thought I left one of my favorite makers at a restaurant once and before I found that it had fallen under the seat in the car, I almost made my wife turn the car around to get it.

I love Copic markers, but they are so expensive.

Yeah, I like copics too. I bought a bunch when I was in Japan last.

If you can use them the way you have used these markers Mike, then I say get a bunch and get some more work posted up! These are great!

I absolutely love this sketchbook stuff!

Thanks Gix and Domtopia.

Gix Oh yes I did. I ran after that taxi like the wind pants almost falling off in the chase. But the cab was to far ahead of me. I called the lost and found but no luck.
Hopefully in the near future I'll get some new markers Dom. Glad you're enjoying the sketchbook stuff. I hope to post some more stuff soon as well as Pages 1 17 and 18 flat colors.
