Sid the Pug (mini comic) Part 1
Well, if you haven’t noticed there have been some lapses between posts in April. This is mainly due to the fact that the cartooning class I was taking at the SVA was wrapping up and our final project, an 8-page mini comic, was due.
The past two weeks have consisted of a lot of late nights and cramped muscles from being hunched over the light table. The sleep deprivation and marker fumes left me in a cloudy state most of the time. Luckily, I had my little pug buddy next to me to keep me focused. Also, Jenn was a huge help in making sure the little stories for each strip were worded clearly and concisely (Thank you, Jenn!).
I printed the final mini comics on colored paper to make them stand out a little more. I think the colors were “salmon”, “goldenrod”, and “sea foam green”. When I was selecting the paper for the final prints, I felt like Lisa Simpson asking the copy shop guy for for “25 copies on canary, 25 on goldenrod, 25 on mustard, and 25 on lemon” to which the copy guy replies “Okay, 100 copies on yellow”. Anyway, below are the first 3 pages for your viewing pleasure (more to come in the following days):

Also, just wanted to send out a big thank you to my fellow classmates, who also each put together really amazing little comics, and to my talented instructor, Tom Motley. Be sure to check out some of his stuff!
Pug & Order Los Angeles
Did some sketches while Jenn and I were watching and episode of the new series of Law & Order. I started just doing some drawings of Sid lounging around (his usual state of being) but then moved on to the two lead detectives as they both looked very comical to me.
Even More Sid Sketches
I’m in the process of taking a cartooning class and am putting together a “mini comic” which features Sid. I’m still roughing out the whole idea but here’s a few more sketches of him that I think are kind of nice.
I also tried to do a very “cartoony” version of Sid. I started with the mini one up in the corner and then just did a big head (too close to the mini one of course!).
More to come, soon, I hope. I need to have the whole thing done in less than a month!
More Sid Sketches
I’ve been working on some more sketches of Sid. Here’s a few for your enjoyment. I tried to capture a few of his typical poses/personas:
1. “Little Sad Guy in the Bath” (above)
2. “Chilled Out Dude on a Pile of Pillows” (below)
3. “Stubborn Little Bugger Who Doesn’t Want to Walk” (bottom)
Sid Comics
I recently enrolled in a continuing education class at the School for Visual Arts called “Cartooning Basics” to brush up on my drawing skills. I used to draw a lot more when I was a teenager but hadn’t really kept up with it. Lately I got the urge to get back into it and thought a class would be good motivation.
Since Sid has a very expressive face and is always apt to do things in a comical fashion, I thought he’d be a good subject. Here’s a couple frames of him dragging me behind him as he rushes home after successfully completing his “business”.
Look forward to more drawings and little comic strips starring your favorite Park Slope pug.
