Just wondering, there any comics out there that's art work is kind of sketchy? For a better explanation of what I mean by sketch, the art quality in this animation. (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/239365)

Ken Ishikawa manga and imitations of Ken Ishikawa manga often use pencil-sketchiness as a stylistic element, though not to the degree of that video. That just looks unfinished, more than anything.

I've been a fan of Fredrik K. T. Andersson (http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/a/n/andersson/profile.html)'s work for years. He does wonderful things with a pencil, without inking. Very different from the look of that short, but it's sketchy - un-inked and uncoloured drawing, with perhaps some black-and-white tones added in photoshop. He only has an Elfwood gallery, which doesn't seem to work well with my preferred browser (Opera). :smallsigh: He also has a very slowly updating webcomic, but it contains nudity so I won't link to it.


Evan Dahm's Order of Tales (http://www.rice-boy.com/order/index.php?c=001) is black-and-white webcomic that updates regularly. It's not sketchy, but simplistic, and the animated short's style reminded me of it.
