Having less time to scheme comics in the direction of the discontinue of 2023 forced me to proper scheme straight with a dip pen and shade it with watercolours. I realized that if I had more time, I could possibly possibly kind the pen traces enjoy this, but then kind the colouring digitally, in affirm that I create not chance “ruining” the traces. However with even less time in December, it used to be “scheme it out or it be going to be forgotten.” So I proper aged what small time I had (assuredly, I could possibly possibly to mark myself 20minutes even when I deem I’m able to not afford it) to scheme it out – traces and watercolour all collectively. I went the unstable route, and did every little thing with natural media.
What I stumbled on:
1. I surely done the comic so a lot sooner than if I executed it digitally.
2. It used to be so a lot more fun and stress-free doing the comic
3. The textures of natural media (both traces and the plot watercolours leisure on paper) appears to be so important richer than one thing I could possibly possibly kind digitally.
Perchance being too cautious about not “ruining” the art work surely adds so a lot more layers of labor for us and assuredly would not mark the work better. Perchance not caring so important makes art work important better. Having less time can power me to kind that!:)
