Creative Project Management:

Towards the last two weeks of 2025, I began creating and exploring ways I could use my fine art drawing practise and merge it with the concept around a comic book. What I discovered during the process of each piece of artwork enabled my thinking to break the rules about page layout, columns and order. Out of 25 pages, I have submitted an idea for a comic book and the theme focuses on `Dreams & Nightmares`. Unfortunately I cannot share my final piece online at this point until it has been published. So for now this piece is a preliminary stage and developmental stage and for what is to come later this year which looks nothing like this... btw, I have added another image to this page. Can you guess where??? All will be revealed in due course. Artwork ©️ Gary Thomas KYPA 2026. Special thanks to: God. Michael Eve (ink artist & comic artist for Marvel Transformers) for all the inspirational one-to-one phone conversations. #comics #comicbook #draw #drawing #drawings #sketches #sketch #inkdrawing #sketchbook #sketchbookdrawing #students #artstudents #arteducation #pen #penart #art #artist #artwork #update ...
