Comic Report #33.2 - Ta Da! (Patreon)

Hello again! I'm back real quick with the finished inks for the next intermission page before I letter it and put it up on the site. 

When I do black and white illustration like this, I try to have a couple rules for myself to make life easier.  Since I don't have my beloved value range to simulate depth and form with I'll use hatching lines to create my greyscales. When hatching, my rule is to never use more than two intersecting directions- I'll go diagonal left or diagonal right overlapping each other, but any more than that creates too much visual noise and looks like scribbles. Also, when I try to use hatching for shading I'll keep the directions fairly consistent, so they're all slanting /////wise in a panel.  This is partly uniformity to make the hatching look clean and consistent and partly because I'm right-handed and going ////// is a bit easier for me than going \\\\\.  

This will be a short update, I'm gonna try to letter and upload the page ASAP.  Thank you for your patience!
