Fencing sketches

I’ve kinda had my fill of superhero drawings for a little while, so I thought I’d get back to work on my fencing/noir story. Generally speaking, most comic book publishers ask to see about five sequential pages when you pitch a book to them, but I’m planning on sending at least twenty (the prologue and first chapter) so that the editors who read my submission will want to find out what happens next. At least, that’s the idea. I’ve finished about a dozen pages already and am hoping to finish the art and two-tone colors/greyscale (I haven’t decided yet which would serve the story best) on the first twenty pages by mid-september. But in the meantime, here are some character drawings taken from my sketchbook.
