In regards to my last post…
So a number of you replied to my comic test (more than I’m used to, haha!), so I thought I could answer you guys back! Thank you all for your feedback.
It looks alright to me. :)
Haha, thank you!
It looks lovely! The bg is detailed, but doesn’t but the lines are lightenedovershadow the characters, which are the main focus.
Thanks Kaitlin, I’m glad you think so!
I’m undeniably bias because of my love (love!) for brights colours, but I am definitely digging the look of this.
You already know how much I love bright colors, haha! Thanks. <3
I like how this looks for the background. If the characters were still given bolder, slick colors, then they would certainly pop out more.
That’s definitely a good idea. I was having trouble separating them more from the background just by manipulating the foreground alone. Do you think I should possibly darken the bg palette?
one thing that bothered me in the pages you posted was that you used the line tool for BGs which made them look unnatural. I like this better
Ugh, I totally agree. The pen tool is awfully useful, but it renders everything in such an artificial way, bleh. With traditional, I feel more free to render lines in whatever way I can.
I think it’s best to go with what makes you most comfortable and what you feel is effecient for your process and time. I ♥ comics.
Haha, me too! And thank you very much, I agree as well. :)
this looks nice. But how about you put up the different colouring options next to each other? If you want an opinion, we could vote then :)
HAHA, oh man if I wasn’t as dumb as a rock I would have done this. Thank you for the very thoughtful suggestion. x)
I had the same problem. I prefered inking by hand but lines looked crappy with the zoom so I tried to do it in digital. It takes more time maybe but it’s easier when you do mistakes and have to redo lines or use layers. Both look good for your art.
Well, it’s not as if people are going to see your lines at 200/300%, right? Or even 100% at that. So I think it’s fine if the lines are jagged. Plus, I learned at my internship at Periscope Studio that it’s easier for print jobs to have aliased lines rather than anti-aliased. As for the redoing lines/layers, I didn’t really have a problem with that either, since I usually use blue pencils and bitmap it in photoshop. And besides, ctrl z = white out, amiright? Haha
you can do so much more with digital, especially textures.
This might be because of my own inexpertise with digital texturing, but I always felt that when I used textures, it tends to blend the entire piece in a way that I don’t like. If I do any textures, it will probably happen at the inking stage.

Darkening the bg could help as well! Even with setting the mood. More serious/nightime scenes could be darker, and happier/daytime scenes more pastel. Up to you, of course, but I know you’ll have a lot of people eager to see your work no matter what.
