Happy New Year, everyone! It’s already shaping up to be a pretty good one for Redskins fans. Every now and again it’s refreshing to do a cartoon that doesn’t bash someone or some ideology. On this ‘toon, I attempted a new technique in honor of the new year: I drew 99 percent of it on the computer. What I mean is, I scanned up a rough sketch of the Redskins fan and digitally “inked” over it using Photoshop. There are only a few other editorial cartoonists who use this process on a day-to-day basis, but I don’t think I’ll be one to ever get the hang of it. I really ached for the control of the brush and India ink while I was drawing today.
On top of this being the first cartoon of the 2008, today’s blog entry is my 200th post! I’d like to thank everyone who stops by to read the blog and those brave enough to comment on the cartoons. I’ll keep plugging away in hopes of making the 2008 version of the Beeler Blog better than ever!
