Description
I wish I could keep up this amount of detail every day, but unfortunately I cannot. It was nice getting to draw a busy scene like this, making the story a little more believable.I like drawing people in general whenever I am out and about, so it was fun to be able to make up the faces and body types of the people in the crowd. Some were referenced, others, not.
Pencils: Me
Colors: Jean-Francois Beaulieu

hey bear 
i think its really nice, the crowd seems like its in a stop motion movie or somthing.. realistic indeed.
btw? the location of the storyboard is in Jerusalem? israel?

yeah, actually.
I've been drawing the streets of Jerusalem for the past couple of months. It's a little difficult considering I've never been there. I only had the images I could find on the internet. So please, go easy on me. haha.
Thank you for your kinds words, btw.
How goes the artwork and school?

oh its great youve done a great job.. even looks abit like the "ir tahtit" Undercity in Haifa, where all the pedestrian action take place
mmm the artwork is great we are in the chapter called - structure utillities, we learn how to connect and describe water utillities, air conditioning vents, water infrastructure, sewer drains, and structure parts... thats the fun part in class. we have courses conducting parts of architecture and constructions and how to descrbe them.
again.. very nice job mike.

I agree I love drawing crowds but it's definitely something that really pushes the stress a little more. Turned out good though.

Yah, I got a little job lettering with a custom comic company. Kind of slow and stressful, but it's a start.

I'm always impressed by the sheer number of colors Beaulieu manages to squeeze into your pages and make it look more than tasteful.
The drawing itself is amazing, too. The crowd in this one seems very real and animated. Great action, too.

i got FIRED from my graphic design job, and i've been pretty unmotivated about drawing :/ but i'm trying to tough through it and am looking for more work, and some possible toning work with heidi/tokyopop. hahah but outside of all that, i'm doing good!

You've got to edit that into the description man. I can't stress that enough that everyone needs to be credited where credit is due always.
