ryohji, have you thought about maybe working with a colorist once you're finished? Because this comic is better than some of the crap on the BESC I paid fifteen bucks for, and I think the only way it could possibly be any more awesome is to see it in living color...

[ryohji]

But if it needs color then it needs inking too, and I won't let somebody else do the inking... But I think we should try to color it anyway.

That's not necessarily true- I've seen lots of artists who've colored over sketches to great effect...

Two questions, first, how old is her pan pal's age, second, is her yonger sister taller then her?

[ryohji]

First: S?ti is about 19 years old, that means she is two years older than Yuki.
Second: Yuki's sister (whose name I haven't chosen yet), is 158cm tall, Yuki is 160cm tall, there isn't a really big difference. However if you are talking about S?ti and her elder sister (she was supposed to look older than S?ti), her sister is 175cm tall and s?ti is 170 cm tall. Bigger difference than the two Japaneses.

No she is not that character, her skin is darker, she don't have the "antenas" and her hair is shorter. But her complexion might be a bit similar, especially the look she gives.
For the rough, the shadows, the greys and the details I use a H pencil (hard lead), then I darken the lines and the put some black color with an HB pencil (medium lead).
I am not a big fan of soft leads, because I am quiet messy and it will make smudges on the page (I like to lay my hands and forearms when I draw).
Because I am drawing quiet a lot those last week,s I went more confident about the characters and backgrouds design. I try to do this without a rough (aka "the page I made to see if what I will do is not crapy) so I have a reason not to mess up. But since I know what I will put on my pages, even weeks before I draw it, It helps me saving time and then to focus on the final aspect. For the first chapter It took me 6 to 10 hours days to do a page. 3 hours to do the rough and correct it, the rest to do the final pages. Now it takes me 6 to 8 hours only to do the final page.

Guess what? New pages! Go see the first page of this thread.

[SoylentOrange]

Heh, no skipping out on your chores! ;p

[ryohji]

It may sound redundant, but pages 7 and 8 are waiting for you at the usual place.

[SoylentOrange]

I'm not quite sure what's happened on page 8. Did she get hit by a tree or something?

[PrBlahBlahtson]

More appropriately, I think the tree went over the waterfall she was under.

Not really. Still awesome though.
