While I was up at the New England Webcomics Weekend (NEWW) I was able to collect a number of sketches from a number of very talented artists. Every Friday for the next few weeks I’m going to share with you another sketch from my NEWW sketchbook.
The theme of my sketchbook was self portraits. Today’s sketch comes to us from Rene Engstrom who does the comic Anders Loves Maria.
I would recommend if you are reading Anders Loves Maria (ALM) for the first time you start at the very first strip. The story is told in the classic sense with a definitive beginning, middle, and end in mind. Rene describes ALM: “It is a story about “adulthood” in a modern age where coming-of-age seems to be completely arbitrary.”
ALM has very adult themes and is for a mature audience. The artistic medium changes throughout from vector art to beautiful watercolors. Rene is an extremely talented artist and if you are of a mature mind I would highly recommend Anders Loves Maria. Check it out now before the story comes to an end.
