Here is the latest comic. This one took several days and iterations. I hope you like it. Of course, there are plenty of things that I would completely redo. I think it looks adequate, and it is much better than the last one. If you want to have fun look at the last panel rotated in 90 degree increments.
I learned a bit from drawing it. The first thins is that there is no such thing as a solid color either in real life or in drawing. This is especially true for black and white. Objects of those two colors show contrasting highlights like nobody's business. The second thing is that lettering is not a natural process. The third is that perspective shouldn't be over-thought. Your brain knows what looks right. Forth, it should look good in black and white and awesome in color. Finally, I learned that I really need to focus on developing my character art and facial expressions. They don't need to be complicated. They just need to be more expressive. Simple can be very expressive. Just see www.xkcd.com for proof.
So what is next? I thought I would try a small story arc that introduces and develops some new characters. I also have so random throw-in jokes to do if I feel like them. I will try to have the next strip out next week. I think a three-day development loop would be good for a full time scientist starting out. How do Tuesdays and Fridays sound for comics
Like I said, if you have any more feedback, then please give it. The main point of this blog is to test ideas.
