am particulary proud of this one, worked right from sketch and kept refining. think it gave it a cool look. i tried to pay extra attention to shapes-- the shape of rachaels hair, the shape of pennys dress... that day was a good draw day...
i liked the inking on this one. [;
these pages were really fun to do becuase... i LOVE coloring, love testing out new palettes and doing moods and stuff, so i am excited to start doing pages in color. don't think all of them will be in color considering the effort, but the important pages... as i feel like it on a whim... i was also proud of my inking in this one cause i tried more with line weight, and also realized some important things about speech bubbles-- you don't want to give the text TOO much space, and also you capitalize pronoun I's ... what a novice mistake!! but i'm glad i picked up on it eventually, that's why i like doing a webcomic, because every week i can try something new. it doesn't do well for my overall consistency but what the heck, learning makes me happy
and i caught myself struggling a LOT with panel composition, making things clear, not being cheap... that's a tour bus in the first 2 panels but w/o the previous pages i don't think you can tell! so i cheated there. but now i'm practicing perspective, and doing composition studies from archie and work by the hernandez brothers
another thing i've been practicing is pixel art... I DON'T KNOW WHY. i feel guilty doing it because it's not relative to comics or illustration, but that's because i have this weird guilt complex about having hobbies. oy vey. here are my attempts so far, anti-aliasing is a bitch and i'll ignore that as long as i can heheh

yeah... wow............. look at them... it's so cute not knowing how to do something but maybe if i chip at it when i have free time it'll pay off
some other stuff on my mind: want to make more minis, want to study storyboarding, want to hone in on a focus to my portfolio, want to move out, want to live in new york... brooklyn yo..
