Fainting Spells : Sleep, page 22. Opening the appeal gate!
Wednesday, February 14 @ 12:46 am

This time I wanted to try my hand at traditional inking, since I don't get to do it much. I didn't expect it to take so long, but I encountered a number of little problems that slowed me down while I was working on this page. First of all, as you may be able to tell in places, the ink is bleeding. That was to be expected since the only non-textured paper I had around was the cheap printer paper my husband stole from his workplace : P Oh well, we manage with what we have.

Since the pages were so small (I usually draw pretty big), each frame pretty much took up one or two pages by itself. That makes it harder to proportion and position everything once it's all ready to come together, but at least it makes for clearer pictures. Lucky I kept the backgrounds to a minimum. Finally, I was running low on time and I got impatient, and didn't wait until the ink was completely dry to erase the sketch underneath (-_-); Doh. Ink smudges everywhere.

Anyway, I meant to shade the whole page with chalk but I ran out of time. I'm already past the midnight mark, so I'll have to leave it at that or it might cause me to miss Thursday's page - which, I think, will be a Valentine's special : )

Speaking of Valentines...

Cameo contest - hurry, it ends Sunday!
