I joined an evening illustration class at the start of the year at the Saint Luc adult learning center and being in Belgium, the illustration class quickly turned out to become a Comics class or “Bande Dessin\u00e9es” as we say in French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is my first comics assignment where we were tasked to create a simple 2 to 3 panel story based on a character we designed in the weeks prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a big fan of spy and adventure stories, I thought I could try something a bit different than my regular biographical stories and instead, go with an efficient out of retirement intelligence officer that carries out operations in foreign dictatorships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was all sketched on paper then cleaned up in Clip Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
