beforeafterinkPage 25 is up — until now, I’ve been inking with a pen and brush, but this page is completely inkless*. I’m trying to streamline my work process by doing more on the computer.

Realistically, I’m guessing that most people won’t notice the difference in my linework (or wouldn’t have, if I didn’t just point it out). It’s obvious to me, though, and for the last few months I’ve been balking at all the learning, practice and experimentation I’ll need to do to get the sort of line I want.  I’ve coped by avoiding the comic altogether, which, I’ll admit, isn’t a healthy thing to do to a webcomic. The healthy thing to do — the best way to practice and learn — is to keep putting out more pages.  You lucky readers get to watch me grow! Hopefully it won’t be too painful for either of us.

*Correction: I did the lettering in ink! I just lettered it so long ago, I forgot that part… sigh…
