Hey guys my names Jon-Paul Smith (JP, Jon, Oi!, whatever works) I live in Wellington, New Zealand and having recently written a comic story/ script decided to have a go at drawing it too.
So here's an example of one of the pages I've done for my comic:   I've recently (last week) started a blog/ diary of my progress (www.comicbookproject.net) the images above are the next page due to go up. You can also download the script from there. I haven't done anything like this before and it has been a massive learning curve for me already, as such I would very much appreciate some advice and/ or feedback for my work. Thanks in advance for your help. JP --------------------      |

Wow, adding the gray scale kicked your art up another notch. Great work.
