[Cross-posted from my blog at Littlest Elle because I'm trying to be better about promoting myself :) Sorry for the duplication!]
My latest fairytale, Death of the Little Hen, launched on Erstwhile Tales this week! I picked and scripted this story myself, and apparently IÂ’m a masochist because I also decided I should paint the entire thing in watercolor pencils? Which was, well. IÂ’ve always been very rough and loose with pencils and inks for my comics because I have Photoshop to help me clean up. To have to pencil lightly (so I can ERASE my pencils, what on earth) and to have to ink precisely because the only corrections I could do would be minorÂ… it was challenging, to put it mildly. But itÂ’s a challenge IÂ’m glad I tried, because now IÂ’ve learned all sorts of things and I feel like my art skill gained some experience points :)
Plus, IÂ’ll be forever indebted to this comic for introducing me to my new life partner, the T-Square.
Anyway.
Even if youÂ’re not a fairytale fan, the art on this thing just COLORFUL AND FUN and I encourage you to go check it out :) ItÂ’ll be running three times a week for the next month or so.
