Quillian -9- by Joyce Melton and Danie Ford (Patreon)

Daniel often did more work than was required to tell the story. His backgrounds were frequently lush. I kept the panel count on pages low to give him room to shine.

The artwork was done on 2-ply 11x17 smooth  Bristol board. We would have preferred kid Bristol but the only varieties available to us were smooth (plate) and vellum. And vellum was too rough for Daniel's pen style. 

The pros mostly use kid surface in either 11x17 or 12x18 sizes, and this is often supplied by the comic book company. It sure is hard to find in local art stores. Kid is the happy medium; rough enough to work well with pencil and smooth enough not to drag your pen or brush.  We got our board from a paper supply company for the incredibly low price of 200 sheets for just $20. !?! Yeah, I know.
