Rachel’s Blue: “How 2 Read Lit Like A Prof”

After my little reflection on Foster’s How to Read Literature Like A Professor, the idea for this comic came to me.

Rachel’s Blue: Valentines [Singles] Day

Rachel’s Blue:From Pencil to the Screen

Below how a typical comic looks before it’s inked and colored. I usually start by drawing [using a ruler] the outline of the frames. Then I pencil in the characters. Rachel and Violet [the llamas] are pretty simple. Joe the tiger is a little more complex. After the characters are completely penciled in, I write in the dialogue and then I draw the bubble around it. This way, the words don’t seemed crammed into a tiny bubble. after all that is done, I ink the outline, let the ink dry, erase the pencil marks and then color.

Once the comic is done. I scan it, crop it, whiteout any impurities [like little spots and stuff like that] . Finally I upload it and publish it.

Won’t take your time any longer, here is the sketch draft of the It’s the Thought that Counts episode.
