Week 14a

     Over break I made my first finished page for the comic. I decided to use pencil to "ink" the comic because I liked the more organic look of it. Also the pencil creates a nice soft texture that makes the comic look a little friendlier. Another good thing about pencil is it really reinforces the hand drawn element of the comic with its lack of a solid black. In class today I started and finished the second page of my comic. For all of the pages I'm doing a half inch gutter at the large scale because I think keeping the gutter constant will help with creating unity across the pages. To draw the final pages I'm sketching them in non-photo blue pencil first and then going over them with a  6B pencil. One challenge I'm having is keeping them smudge free, but if I'm careful I can keep them fairly clean.
