Happy Friday the 13th everyone!! Since it is such an odd day and one where the masses seem to be in full panic mode I decided to add a little levity to the situation. A little…morbid….levity. Offensive? Perhaps a touch. Just be glad I didn’t make a comic about our current toilet paper shortage. Ah, America…. you are psychotic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I admit this comic is partially based on a nightmare I had as a small child about the owner of my lucky rabbit’s foot floating through the window trying to claim it’s foot back. SIGH. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that cleared out of the way I would like to say I am growing my confidence in the drawing part of drawing comics. These characters are very old school and lovable. And the Depressed Teddy got a few aesthetic changes – for one I gave him proper eyes. And I also made him a bit chubbier… it happens. Glen was once thin too. I guess I feed them well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also used an old background – amended to have a floor. But I guess the biggest thing I am proud about today is my increasing skill in using the facial expressions of my character to portray the correct mood. This has been a struggle up until now! Mostly because I’m facial blind and read human expressions poorly even in real life. Weirdly drawing cartoons has helped me in identifying these subtle nonverbal cues. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
