rubyredroseTheme: CLOG #3
Media: ink on paper, shaded and cleaned up in PS LE
Notes: So I found a better way to do speech bubbles while doing this. a) make the general shape of the talky balloon using the circle and polygon select tools. b) under edit, fill white c) under edit, stroke 3 pixels. Next experiment will be with whether the stroke function inside, outside and centered on my selection makes a difference. Whee...
Um. The challenge was to comic blog something that happened in the last 3 weeks. My life is boring, so this is the best I could come up with other than talking about work, or drawing. SO. I'm happier with this panel-less comic format, but my style is still all over the place with this, and barber-lady appears to be missing a finger. Oops. Hands aren't my strong point.
panel 1: At work. Not nearly hectic or cluttered enough. But you get the idea.
panel 2: deer in the headlights, much? Yes, the tiny little oriental lady that cut my hair really was that short. ...and had awesome jade bracelets. <3
panel 3: FEAR the polka-dots of DOOM. Actually probably best panel...but the hands took a lot of post production editing since I drew them backwards the 1st time. >.>;
panel 4: Yes, I do look like that...I'm like a really really tall gnome. Shhh...

tingirl welcome to art...thing.
ALSO. I notice you haven't commented on my last post,timrehix. *pouts*
** edit **
Next weeks challenge....draw a non-original character other than one you designed from a written description. This can be from a book, someone else's description, or whatever, but you can not draw someone else's design of the character. For example, you can draw Bilbo from The Hobbit, but he can't look like the Bilbo from the animated movie, and he has to match the description from the book. You could also draw someone's DnD character, or whatever, but for example I can not draw Edith since I designed her.

Date: 2008-01-18 10:09 pm (UTC)This one looks great. The only comments I have are, I would have made the polka dots tear drops, to convey emotion, and the last panel looks empty. The only other panel you have with no back ground is the hair cut one and that one has the hair cut lady who fills the space. So you needed something in the last panel to fill it up. Perhaps a chibi Ronia. That way even readers who don’t know the character can get an idea of what she looks like.
But it flows wonderfully! The story is told cleanly and the dialogue fits. I am in awe.
I am going to be late again this week. Some people dragged me off and got me in DM mode so I have been doing that instead.
What is this weeks challenge?
