SKETCHING OUT A CREATIVE PROCESS
Trailblazing creator reveals select sketches in world-building
It’s no secret that constructing a believable world isn’t easy and
avant-garde creator Max West demonstrates this principle in his
remarkable new release, the Sunnyville Sketchbook.
The Sunnyville Sketchbook is a 24-page magazine sized comic in which
Mr. West unveils never-before-seen sketches and refined ideas for his
independent comics series, Sunnyville Stories. Sunnyville is a
picture-perfect saga of two feline teenagers, Rusty Duncan and
Samantha Macgregor, living in the folksy village of Sunnyville.
This sketchbook displays rough drafts of the setting for the wholesome
town of Sunnyville, the unvarnished wilderness surrounding the area,
and the congenial populace of the town such as local sheriff, Officer
Carl, and the rambunctious triplets living at the town’s cleaners.
“I want the world to know that putting this universe together was not
easy,” the brilliant Max West explains, “It took time to do research,
make on-location sketches, and consider the relationships of the
characters with each other and their world.”
Mr. West’s artwork is very down-to-earth, having been influenced by
newspaper comics, fine artist Paul Klee, and illustrator Richard
Scarry. Yet, the mix of crisp lines, transparent grays, and hearty
blacks prove that his art is anything but minimal.
The Sunnyville Sketchbook is available at IndyPlanet.com and
ComicsMonkey.com at an invitingly priced US$3.50. Get your copy

Stories episode 2, also available at Indy Planet and Comics Monkey.
