Have just completed 4 pages plus title page, moving onto inking, but would like some comments on current work if possible. thanks.

Liquid Desires (by Leena): Cover Draft (pencil)

I'm still working on the drawing but would like to get some critique on the general composition, etc. for the cover art.

Angie's pencils, pg 6 and 7

Am I the only one still posting pages?

I am fairly happy with these so far, but if anyone sees anything glaringly wrong or jarring, please let me know before I ink!

Angie's pg 3, 4 and pencils for 5

I am SO close to finishing my pencils for page 6, but i wanted to at least get up what I had to get some advice. Sorry if this goes up too late for any crits for tonight's class. Mostly I wanted help with blackspotting before I scan at 600 dpi to photoshop.

Page 3 ink...no blackspotting yet:

Nov 11 Crits

Well done on another good week's work everyone. Keep it up, and continue to post your work on the blog. Just a reminder: next week we'll be designing our covers, so if you think you will need to use any specific picture references then bring them in. Also, please try and bring in your laptops with photoshop on so we can scan what we have and use class time to touch up our work.
In no apparent order, here are the crits we went through last night:

From Québec to California, Page 1

I did not scan, I took a picture.

Liquid Desires (by Leena): pg. 4 Drawing w/some Ink

The drawing is still in-progress even though I've inked some of the work...

Cindy - Page 5 Inked

So, it sort of cut off the bottom in my scan, will have to figure out how to fix that tomorrow.

Haven't cleaned up the pencil yet, so there are still a few traces around. Wasn't sure when to add the dark shading (such as below chins, around sleaves, etc.). Perhaps Dan can clarify that.

Had the most trouble with balloon line regularity, but guess that comes with practice. ;-)

You may have noticed that I am not inking in order at all.
Also, I'm hoping to fill in the blacks in photoshop because I have no idea what will be ok for me to black out. I'm also terrified of using too much hatching or cross-hatching, but at this point I think I need to add some in somewhere. It's all looking rather...flat.
Hopefully will have pages 1 and 3 up in the next day.

Employee of the Month (Angie), pg 1 and 2 inks

Here's where I'm at. I need to add some blacks, but am having trouble committing to it. I'm thinking the tabletop (behind hand and in center of page) and countertop? Or I could just wait until photoshop...

Liquid Desires (by Leena): pgs. 1-3 Revised, Inked

I've re-worked the details on pages 1-2 (had a lot of trouble with her hand in frame 2 - need to fix it in photoshop) and inked page 3... the splash page hair is unfinished on pg. 3 (Dan, should I just leave it for photoshop or is there something I can do before the photoshop touch-ups?)...currently drawing page 4

Took a few tips from Dan in the last class and reworked page 4. Added a journal appearance to the monologue. Added in page 5, 6. Thanks again for the brain idea, Dan! Any input would be great. Thanks!
