Re: Best part/Worst part
Best part- getting back to it after a few years away.
(and inking- inking is good...)
worst part- colouring, if only cos i never practice- however, after learning several new techniques for photoshop to keep lines crisp etc, and having invested in a graphics tablet, heres hoping it wont be as bad in future!

The good: Art improving dramatically as time rolls on.
The bad: Drawing. Anything. Manmade.
The worse: Realizing your story sucks.

Considering the downright innocence of your comic that is just bizarre.

Re: Best part/Worst part
Well, it's the truth, after all.



Re: Best part/Worst part
For me, it's little combinations of everyone else's favorite and least favorite things about the process, to various extents. My troubles with inking stopped when I switched to tech/design pens. I almost never use color, because it distracts from the underground style and content of the comic. Worst part is when I mess up a detail, and I have to correct it by computer. I've never gotten used to that.

Best Part: Drawing hot warrior women duking it out with eldritch monstrosities
Worst Part: Using Flash to ink - it takes FOREVAR

Still definitely worth the effort, I'd say.

Re: Best part/Worst part
Best part is coming up with jokes, bad puns and situations that can reliably make my brother and a handful of others groan.
Worst part is knowing that there aren't too many more beyond that. But, hey, that's okay.
For me, the whole thing is therapy, makes me forget about my students for a while.

Re: Best part/Worst part
I'm cheerful. I like it all! Drawing thumbnails, doing layout, designing stuff, adding details, even drawing the panel lines. Ooh, and uploading pages is great fun.
But I don't actually have to write, ink or color anything, though...

Rargh: When it looks great on the desk but like crap on the computer. And when I try to fix it up with GIMP and get tired of looking at it after ten minutes. WHY CAN'T YOU LOOK THE WAY I WANT YOU TO

Re: Best part/Worst part
Best Part: Writing the comic. I love the process of coming up with the characters, the plot and the ideas behind stories, and enjoy writing the scripts a lot.
Worst Part: Drawing the comic. Not because I'm bad at drawing or find it boring, it's just that I'm my worst critic and never believe that any of my stuff is good enough. The amount of time that I've draw an entire page, only to find one part which is wrong with it and then have to start again because that one bit has managed to ruin the entire page for me...
As you can tell, I do a lot more writing than I do drawing

Re: Best part/Worst part
That's when you use the oncologist method, you take some scissors and cut out the offending panel so that you can redraw just that panel. Glue on the new pretty panel and scan it in and no one is the wiser!Bobandgary wrote:Worst Part: Drawing the comic.

I just had to do that about five times with one page I had drawn. I had inked the page a million years ago but didn't color it yet, but when I sat down to I was like "Holy shaman Eddie looks like crap in every single panel" so I just redid those panels and left everything else

Page came out damn good too.
