That’s a 32 Ford Jeep Willies hybrid that used to have the front end of a 33.

This is the finished art for the reaper piece.
I trace the pencil sketch using ink and a brush (#2) on vellum (high grade tracing paper). Scanning the ink drawing and using Adobe Illustrator “live trace” turns the scanned art from pixels into a vector format. I prefer vector art because you can enlarge the art without losing image quality. I use the pencil tool in Illustrator with a mouse to add the color.

The whole Nark Cartoon can be seen at Pug Dog Posse (CARTOON 26).
Due to a busy schedule, I am only able to post pencil drawings for now. Thanks – Reed

As the words left my lips, I realized what a cruel father I was. The excitement that filled his face soon would fade and memories of similar disappointments would replace the void. Like the time I told him the neighbors’ new puppy was his birthday present…

This is a concept for some freelance work. The art will be used as a logo at the top of an ebay store.
When dealing with this type of illustration, design is more important than drawing ability. The finished product will be so small all intricate details will be lost. The main concern is legibility. When the reapers hand was on the handlebars, the illustration was confusing. The illustration needed the handlebars to communicate “Four wheeler”.
The customers website sells used parts from totaled four wheelers, so I put a wrench in his hand.
This design has to communicate “grim reaper on a four wheeler” only using the silhouette of the form.

The punch-line is weak, but the cartoon has lots of potential.

This is an example of what I draw first, a simple note to myself so I don’t forget the concept.
