I found Scary Go Round (Patreon)

I have a few moving boxes left over from a year ago containing stuff I lack the shelves/cupboards to store. I had to pop one of them open the other day, and found the 500 or so pages of hand-drawn Scary Go Round art from 2005-2007, neatly filed.

I drew very differently back then, there's not really any perspective, everything is quite flat, and then I would use colour to pick out the composition. So the black and white line art is, to my eye, not beautiful. But it worked!

To amuse myself after lunch, I redrew one of the pages I had photographed for social media with only the tools I had to hand - a Rotring Art Pen that I have never liked, a Tombow felt tip pen, and some scrap A4 paper. I think the resulting 30-minute drawing is quite funny. The original is below for comparison. I wasn't trying to better the original (let's face it, that was drawn by a long-lost version of me, and readers loved that era of my comics) but just to see what I would make with imperfect conditions. It's riddled with mistakes but I still like it.
