In my last journal i said that i was working on a nameless comic. It still has no name. But anyhow, i am a pre-production nut so all of the pages are designed out as thumbnail drawings. 3o pages total.

I drew and inked out the first two pages but I am not pleased with them. I'm trying several new things for this comic. First i drew out all of the pages panels with a non-photo-blue pencil which took a little while for me to order off of Amazon.com. Non-photo-blue pencils allow an artist to sketch out things then ink them over without having to erase the blue sketch because it doesn't show up in photos! Well its awesome BUT because its such a light color you have to really, REALLY concentrate on the sketch- when inking.

I lack good skills with dip pens plus i was told using dip pens was a bad idea, because I'm left handed and the angle you have to hold the pen is ten times easier for a right-handed person. Ghaaaaaa! So im a bit conflicted about how to ink my comic, should i just use micron pens, or still try to use dip pens (i think the ink i was using was old- adding to the disaster) I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I'll just start over on those pages...
