War Stories Sketches

So I finally got around to sketching some characters from my next project--which I intend on actually completing, that is--tentatively entitled "War Stories".... there's going to be a definite change, but I'm thinking of incorporating that phrase into the title somehow. The phrase comes from how me and my older sister would describe all the stories we have from growing up in a strict, Catholic grammar school. And that's pretty much what the comic will be about.

So, without further ado....







These are just pencil sketches. I was trying to find my yearbook to reference the teachers, principle, and priests... but couldn't find them. I'll have to do an all-out hunt for them soon since I know they've got to be around here somewhere. Right now, I'm mainly trying to get down style for how I want to draw the adults vs. children, as well as overall drawing style. Next up will definitely be some ink!

Ooh! I like the gaunt look to the female adults' faces. It's very evocative of the terror the give small children :D
