holy smokes.

i just spent about 3 hours doing another comic. i thought i had a process down for it this time, but when i got to the last 2 panels i realized i hadn’t made enough copies of the background. which meant i had to improvise, because i didn’t remember what colour the wall was, or exactly how i did the eyes on the guys, so on and so forth. i was also surprised by how frustrating it is transferring the medium over. when i draw on paper with a pencil, i can easily erase just one thing. the lines aren’t blurry. it’s easier to get the eyes level, or to change the shape of the eyebrows, or to draw the hands. i used to have one of those pads with a pencil instead of a mouse. i wonder if that’s still kicking around somewhere…

it was a lot easier than the first one though. i think i’m getting the hang of it. the next one will probably go a lot smoother too. but i think i will wait a little. 3 hours is a long time to be hunched over photoshop.
