Festering Romance page 8 pencils/inks comparison

For today, an older page that took me forever to circle around and get to inking: Festering Romance page 8!

If you received the Festering Romance preview at SPX, you’ve already seen the pencils, but hey, now you get to see the inks! EXCITING.

I also just made my new handwriting font so I’m SURE AS HECK gonna use it to type copyright stuff or whatever! BAM!

Thanks for checking in, and check back on Friday for a look at the artist in her natural habitat.

Festering Romance page 35 pencils

Today, I have an earlier page from Festering Romance to show — the pencils for page 35:

Generally, after I finished a scene in the book, I got really tired of drawing the setting and would look really forward to drawing something different… which is why it was good that most settings only showed up once. The only places that really get visited over and over are the characters’ apartments. But, for instance, after drawing this trolley tour scene, I was done with drawing trolleys. Same thing for drawing the ouija board over and over, the pizza place, classroom desks, etc. Montage scenes were nice because every panel would be in a different setting, but that was challenging in another way. But now I have to ink all those scenes… so… yeah.

Another thing I remember when looking back at the pages now is how much research I did for the simplest of things that seem hardly noticeable now… But I suppose that should be the desired effect sort of? I took so many photos of River Street for this scene (a big tourist spot)… I hate visiting the place otherwise.

Well, thanks for looking, and check back on Friday for more high school art!
