Monday MADness- Tedium!

November 5th, 2018 | Posted in Monday MADness

This week’s Monday MADness is a look at the pencil roughs and final art for MAD‘s parody of the TV show ‘Medium” from MAD #454, June 2005, written by Dick DeBartolo. The show starred Patricia Arquette, Jake Webber and Miguel Sandoval. I had some fun with Patricia Arquette’s character’s penchant for wearing blouses about two sizes too small that made it look as if her very ample bosom was a few straining button-threads away from bursting forth… so there are popping buttons galore.

The murderer in this parody is actually a fellow caricaturist I know, Dan Minamide aka “Dan the Cartoon Man”. Here’s a look at the other final pages:

    Tom, actual pencils on paper? or digital? Or scanned pencil, then digital finish? What’s your workflow on something like this?

      Hey Vince! In 2005 I was just beginning to use the Wacom Cintiq, but only for coloring. I was printing the layouts out at print size on drawing paper and doing all the sketches in pencil. Then scanning and enlarging to art size, transferring to Bristol board, redrawing and tightening up the pencils, inking with dip pen/brush, scanning in the inks and then coloring in Photoshop
