The 1st Tablet Strip Arrives!

As you can tell, I'm going to be doing A LOT more experimenting with my art styles now that I have this wee little tablet. It affords me the ability to erase and tweak until my heart's content. So I hope you'll enjoy the ride of "Bill: The Artist's Voyage" as much as I am so far. Damn, that sounded a whole lot less "Bob Ross-ish" in my head.

Anyway, here's the new strip. I've tried some new coloring techniques, and it really started taking a lot of time, because I can be so much pickier now. I'm sure the process will speed up, but don't be surprised if a lot of strips end up as 1 or 2 panels for a little while. Hell the fact that this was taking so long is what caused me to go with this joke.

And for the record, every last detail of this one was done on my PC. No pencils or paper involved. I love my new toy. :)

Hah, I like it. Don't feel too bad about it though! Look at any of the great comics (e.g., Calvin & Hobbes, Dilbert, etc.)... they recycle poses all the time.

My motto is, the easier your comic is to draw, the more likely it will be to release it on schedule! Ideas can come cheap and quick but the drawing really takes time.
