Yeah I like the line it can give but my overall approach is make a mess until it’s done. I mostly use a brush and rarely remember to switch between tools. That said a lot of Alex is done with liners

Sketchbook thing from 2020 that popped up in my phone. One of many attempts to get along with nibs over the years. I am a bit too heavy handed to use them consistently

Pages from an as yet unused Stramash short, it was meant to be part of an Ashcan type thing for Sequential Scotland last year but ran out of time to get it printed before the show

The last two pages , it was meant to tell how the Prune ended up with that guy in a glass tank in issue 2 of the first series. More of an aside rather than essential to the story.

I can recall sitting on a bus coming home from school and looking at TV listings in a paper left on the seat in which it stated the first episode of a new Sci-fi comedy series would be on that night… RIP Rob Grant.
