Hmmm, do you have a rough estimate on how long it takes you to complete a page?

HA! I saw that first page and thought "Yeah, squiggly lines that almost look like something. Check...so How do I get to the second page again? More lines?"

I never thought such a simple breakdown/tutorial would have been so helpful, especially in regards to inking with varying pen sizes.

Jolly, do you any tips for me?
I've been drawing my comic for a while, but I'm terrible a doing it on computer.
Is there anyway to make great comics with MS Paint and a fake Photoshop program?

They say beauty is within the eye of the beholder. Now if anyone were to tell me that this diagram of art perfection was not beautiful, I would either slow back away, as if their retarded views were contagious, or violently stab them to death....still deciding....My point being, that this is pure Gold. I wish I had your drawing hand, good sir. Perhaps they'll auction it away one day, now there is a scary thought....whats even more, is that some one would buy it....hope its me. 5/5 for showing us the light to witch we behold.

wraithdragon [2010-06-10 14:45:53 +0000 UTC]

Cool. I like seeing how other people work, it always gives nice insight into possible new ways to try and refine my own process. In this instance, I really like how you draw things thin, then thicken up the foreground lines. It sounds like a great way to create depth of field, I'm totally going to try doing that.

Thanks!

clap clap clap.

franckly i really like evolutions in a comic and always appreciate your style

a (already published) scenarist friend has been looking for a comics drawer (french/belgian format), but sadly she thinks working with an artist is already difficult, and if it has to be in another language ...
and i guess you already have tons of projects to do

anyway. good continuation. and good work
