Comic Strips

I’m finding out that it’s really hard to draw passengers in a car. Working on it, but probably no comics-style Friday Non-Dissertational tonight, despite my efforts. Maybe tomorrow.

Back to the books of Will Eisner and Scott McCloud for guidance. And practice — with the pen, with perspective, with pacing — dammit, practice. (Yes, this is Friday, and so my day to be dissertation-free, to have fun: and what do I do? I find something else to agonize over. Still, I like drawing them panels, even if they’re just practice, even if they never find a place in the narrative arc.)

You’ve figured out, at least, that page 1 was a zoom-in (as evidenced by the black circle in the second panel) from overhead — and so that the action of the next page will take place inside that Mustang.
