That feel when you're intimidated by a particular panel and then it comes together on the first try.

A couple days later I'll get an email from Yoko that says "Hey, the page is done and in the drive!" Sometimes there are additional notes like why she made some of the creative decisions that she did, ...

I got some new pens recently that I've been experimenting with. I'm really liking how they turn out, but at the same time I go a little crazy with the shading. Not that it's a bad thing, though.

It's all ACTION and REACTION but very little talking heads. They're a nice break when I get them, though.

(If you look hard enough, you can still see the original thumbnail underneath the sketch, and also get an idea of how much the comic changes as I work on it.)

I was curious to see how that profile shot I just posted of Orrig would look from the front, so I did a quick turnaround. I think I really like it!

Once I get all the fine lines down, I go back over everything with my fancy brush pen and thicken up some of the lines to add depth and value. Makes the page more interesting to look at.
