Progress Panel #4
I still have a ‘favor’ drawing to do before I get back solely to my comic, but here is another panel from a page that I’m reworking/splitting into 2 pages (as I did with another ‘problem’ page).
I’ll probably end up changing the colors a little. I don’t really like the sky in particular… but it’s getting there.
I never worry about whether or not I’m getting all of the perspective correct as long as the overall effect looks okay.
I just start drawing lines for windows and air conditioning units and water towers… As long as it looks like a (dense) city, I’m happy with it.
I also wanted the colors to be bold. It goes against what’s being done nowadays where the art are usually ugly shades of green-browns and brown-oranges and… Well, I looked at a Marvel comic the other day that had the Scarlet Witch on it, but she was pink and some kind of burgandy-maroon color. I mean, scarlet’s still red right? The coloring was okay I guess. It looked like the colorist stuck to their color theory chart and made sure to limit their color palette sufficiently and it BORED. THE. HELL. OUT. OF. ME.
I think you have to have a subscription to Rolling Stone magazine and drink Starbucks coffee… no, lattes.. to like Marvel comics, anymore. And I certainly don’t. I guess I should say sorry for the language right there, but since I’m a pretty good self-editor, I almost always edit them out before they see print. I’m sure you get my sentiment about Marvel, though.
Anyway… More later…
