Pencils for page 18:

I like this page if for any other reason than the storytelling. I know there are no words written out yet (except in scribble), but the juxtaposition of the characters and the pedestrian traffic light makes for good implication in that particular scene, I think.

One thing I re-realized while drawing today is that I need to re-adopt the practice of getting the pencils completed just enough to be inked. The pencils aren’t the final version and yet I’ve been trying to get them to look semi-tight. Probably because I’m trying to beef up my illustration skills. I need to find a balance that allows me to practice illustrating while penciling, yet get them done well enough so that they’re ready for inking but aren’t actually finished pieces themselves.
