Nice one Tom! It’s so good to see the sketchwork. By the way, I just recieved the latest MAD (it takes a while to cross the pond) and the artwork for your Hunger Games parody was superb! Well done. I was wondering two things – firstly, how long did it take you, and secondly, do you have to colour it yourself? The reason I ask the second question is because I can imagine the time taken to do a colouring job of a high enough standard to match the penmanship could take as long as the entire design, planning, amendments and drawing.
Hunger Games: I’d say it takes about 2 days to do a page. I spend about one full day doing the roughs for all the pages, then maybe a day doing revisions and such. I can pencil out two pages a day… that’s full pencils mind you with all the caricatures worked out. I can ink two pages a day and color two pages a day. That works out to a little less than 2 days per page.
