siguneI'm continuing my attempts to find a workable style for my definitive comic pages. Sometimes I feel I'm still a long way away -_-.
I have a colleague with a background in art/graphic design/comics who takes an interest in what I'm doing, but I can tell he's less than impressed with my colour skills :/. He has advised me to:
a) draw on coloured paper so that some of my colour values are already there;
or
b) work in monochrome.
But to be honest, I can't see myself doing either of these. Much though I like the idea of drawing on coloured paper, it's going to be a time-consuming technique (and I'm dead slow as it is) which, on top of that, doesn't scan too well. And for the second option to be successful, I'd need to know a LOT more about light and shadow. I am as hopeless with those as I am with colour, so as far as I am concerned, trying to adopt that tactic would be of no help at all.
In short, I'm no further :/.
This picture (in a small watercolour Moleskine) seemed really nice to me when I had just finished it, but I'm no longer sure :p. It did remind me that I'm still more comfortable inking with Staedtler pens than with any other tool... Yay, back to the start D:...
