Abraham Beaumont: the cericel
Who is this strapping gentleman? Why, it's Abraham Beaumont, the father of Richard!Despite my earlier statement regarding my intense dislike of inking and colouring, I've done another in the space of a few hours, and indeed I'm considering doing one for each of the principal cast members of Richard Beaumont, so that people know what they look like. It's alright for me, since I have these colours in my head, but everyone else has to make do with my crude black and white scribbles, so I'm making a point of doing these finished drawings, basically so I don't have to do them at a later date (like when people start asking me if Richard's hat is green or yellow).
Anyway, stay tuned for Hilda, Jemima, Orson, David, and perhaps even some of the secondary characters I haven't introduced you to yet, such as the lovable bartender Bino and the perpetually big-nosed Mr. Queens.
By the way, you might notice a bit more volume to the lines this time round. Varying the line thickness is what gives cleaned-up drawings like these a sense of depth, and a feeling that the character is not simply flat. This is something I find really hard to do, but I'm going to practice, and who knows? Perhaps by the time I've got through my entire cast of characters, I'll be able to do halfway decent inking.
