Two pages of my fake comic completed.

Here are the two pages displayed side by side.  Happy enough with the result but I have a long way to go, still has an over worked feel, mainly because it was.

My approach to inking

I'm still figuring out how to do this, but it seems I do a first pass ink with a thinner brush, then another pass with the thicker brush to add emphasis or weight, then I do a spotting pass, where I try to add shade and shadow.

Comic Page 2 Pencils

I have a week off work, so I'll probably self isolate because of the Covid 19 virus, there's not much to do anyway because of the general lock-down. Here are the pencils for the next page of my fake comic test.

Comic page scores a top row position on Krita Artists website.

Hooray for me!

But then in the comments a spelling error is pointed out.

Always check stuff before posting.

Full comic page - New color

I changed the color just for the hell of it.

Bottom Panel Pencils

I'm about to commence inking, so I will post the under drawing for posterity, as I tend to delete them once the inks are done.

This whole thing is about testing Krita for making comics, I will say it's text tool isn't optimal, this font won't allow me to make it bold, even if it shows those changes in the text pop-up, they don't translate through to the final result.

Adding more panels to the page - Progression

Yeah, gonna make this a full page, so this will be the top third.

Second Attempt - progression

Another pass on the comic panel, needed to loosen up my style. A journey towards Hackdom.

Comic art in Krita

Trying to find my feet doing comic style work with Krita. Doing a full blown comic is something I may do, so I tested the waters a bit with an imaginary panel. I don't have the fluid style yet, it took a long time to do this one image and there's so much I don't like about it, perhaps I just hate his face.
