MIKIKO PONCZECK

Mikiko Ponczeck is a published comic book artist. Like Alfredsen, she often draws in her own cute style.
Her "minicomics" are very funny and use situations from her everyday life. I like these drawings, but for my project I am more interested in her darker, more serious pieces.
Ponczeck has a very bold illustrative style but knows how to use it to depict more depressing themes.
This is my favourite comic page by this artist as she took an ordinary pencil sketch and coloured it digitally. It creates a more delicate effect than harsh black lines that are produced by computer programs and the sketch lines add a sense of structure and fluidity to the piece as a whole.
Her drawing processes are interesting and I find it enjoyable to see how a professional turns a pencil sketch into a finished product that is suitable for a paying client or for publication in an artbook or comic series.
