Comics!

So I finally finished it, colored and all!



It's far from perfect (which was reinforced very quickly when I went to the print shop, surrounded by seniors printing their CRAZY AWESOME work), but I'm learning! I need to work especially on inks, narrative, color, and much more! I feel a lot better about color now, especially, versus how I felt last year, but I still know there are a few funky things going that need more work.

I also wish I had the tree growing from that little gem, maybe then it would have made a little more sense? Next time, next time.

Blankets

My favorite graphic novel? Blankets, by Craig Thompson.



I finally have it (and at 1/3 of the normal price)! The funny thing is, this is the antithesis of what I would normally pick up and read (fantasy, colorful, tight linework etc.). It just so happened, though, that this book ended up in my hands at a really unexpected time: it helped me get through a pretty rough patch in high school. Even though I had support from family and friends, this book helped in a way that no one or nothing else could.

Thanks, Craig Thompson.

Sketchbook

Sketchbook pages, because I haven't posted anything in a while:



Sketch snippets from my first comics class! Despite having worked on it for 2 days now, I'm pulling an all night doing this one...due tomorrow, eep!
