Stranded

It seems there’s a weather-pocalypse going on in the Greater Detroit area as Delta was kind enough to cancel my flight on me after sitting at the airport all day through multiple delays. Huzzah.

So here I sit in the Baltimore airport waiting for a plane to take me to Atlanta so I can sit there for hours until I can fly back to Detroit… always barring weather cancellations, of course. Yeesh…

Fuzzy Lines

While working on yesterday’s comic, I figured out something that has been bothering me for some time.  The line art in my final render of the strips always seems a bit… fuzzy to me.  It never seems as crisp as when I draw it, and it is certainly not as crisp as a lot of the comics I read.    As it turns out, it’s because of a shortcut I’ve been using.

Once I’ve finished drawing the comic, I import the panels in to Plasq’s Comic Life to add the framing and word balloons.  The problem is, once I export the comic page back out, ever thing is bumped up to a higher resolution than what I drew at, and not surprisingly, things are a bit… fuzzy.

So… I need to stop with the short cut.  Comic life is a fine tool, but it’s getting in my way.  Now, framing I can do, but word balloons… I’m pretty awful at that.  So, I appeal to the ‘net.  Send me your favorite word bubble tutorials.  It’s time for me to learn a new skill.
