This either means the day where old people reminisce about handing out baskets and kisses ooooooor it&#8217;s what you call when your plane is hurtling toward a rough and unexpected <em>landing<\/em>. Maybe there&#8217;s some middle ground here? Wonder if Glen could achieve this feat. Why yes, yes he can! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Making of Glen <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was lacking in inspiration this week and came up with this idea only after procrastinating BADLY. I consulted my muse asking what would be a terrible thing to hug and they said a porcupine. Seriously?! Now I have to figure out how to draw a porcupine! Even though it&#8217;s an old idea I still think it came out cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did a lot of new things with this comic&#8230; for one I drew a porcupine which I decided should look like an exploding fuzz ball. I used the fingertip blur tool to achieve this and learned the more violently you draw each line the farther it&#8217;ll go! I also enjoyed learning how to draw a snake entwined in a tree branch which is harder than it sounds. I was lazy with his scales though using the spray paint tool. And I was challenged in how to draw a face hugger and an amoeba&#8230; but I think I got it! Actually the longest time I spent on making this comic was drawing the bubble letters. I have been obsessed with bubble letters since grade school and always wanted to know how to draw them. I don&#8217;t feel as if I&#8217;m great at this yet but I&#8217;m getting there! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May Day! May Day! May Day!
