I’m trying something new for me with these colors. Usually when I do comics I leave the line art b/w and simply add the color beneath. But for these strips I’ve been trying “line-holds”, or “knock-outs” as they’re sometimes called. Basically I cut out the lineart of the main character and change the line color to match the skin-tone. It makes for a much softer illustration I think. Sometimes it seems to work really well. Others, not so much. I have a feeling my art style will be changing a lot as I do more strips. So far the response has been good, and I appreciate everyone’s feedback.
I think, also, it will take a little while to get used to writing for comic strips. How to pace the jokes, the subject matter, and character development. Right now I’m basically writing whatever comes to mind, while trying to build towards something. But I could see myself getting into some really fun crafting of jokes and set-ups for bigger and funnier stories. I see this first year as a learning process for those things. That and meeting daily deadlines each week.
