This comic follows on from the Previous comic which will almost certainly provide context.
Just enthralled. Completely spellbound. Beguiled, charmed, under your spell.
That is sick! Thanks for all the work you do.
You hand draw them and then add the text digitally?
Yes. One of the benefits of this is that it makes my visual style rather unique - I often get asked what digital brushes I’m using to get these pencil textures, and the answer is “pencils.” One of the downsides is it means it’s quite slow to make new pictures.
I used to hand-letter, but lettering is a surprisingly slow and taxing job, and I found myself spending a lot of time touching it up digitally, so now I use a font I made from my own handwriting.
Here’s an image showing many of the physical media brands and tools I use. Notes:
- The primary pigment liner width I use is 0.2, I use the 0.05 for very fine lines sometimes.
- I have replaced the pentel p203 pencil with a Spoke-4-Titanium, although the Spoke pencil still uses a P203 mechanism
Here’s a step-by-step showing how it looks as I go
And, here’s a photo of the pencilwork for this specific comic :D
I didn’t notice until now that your characters sometimes slightly cover the text boxes! Very cool.
