Select, Copy/Paste & Setting Or I'm Getting the Hang of This?

I'm learning how to select and make a character smaller in proportion to a larger character! 

In this scene when Yanina and Peter are on their first lunch date. 

Note I have some edit reminders in dark pink. Here is the original. 

 And on the right-hand, is Yanina made smaller. Peter should be bigger as he's a former college football player. But now that I've made him bigger from the neck up, he should also have bigger arms that match.

There you go, Peter with your bigger arms! And here I fixed Yanina's hands and made her hair a little fluffier in the next panel.

I also had back notes to keep my (speech and) thought bubbles separated, which I took care of.

 Here is the original page.

 Here's the original fourth panel. Also realized that Peter is out-of-proportion and he isn't even meant to be chibi(Means the super-deformed and cute version of a character in manga and anime)! At least not in this scene!

Remember I mentioned making Yanina smaller in proportion to Peter? Well, I needed to do so in the fourth panel on the right-hand bottom of the page. Yanina not only had to be smaller and lower, but she needed to move her chair back from the table as she's laughing at Peter's story. 

 Here I moved her AWAY after Selecting and Dragging her image. You'll notice it also cut Peter's thought bubble. I'll get back to that. Not only do I need to Select/Drag Yanina's image, I tidy my messy penwork and fix other issues with the character's appearance. Peter also gets a do-over! And I fix his goatee, making it sparse(actually part of my notes!) as he's just growing it out. He will sport stubble, sparse goatee, full goatee, and be clean-shaven throughout the series.

And here is the final page. Thanks for your patience, Dear Readers.

Social media in rough sketches

I can't believe I was panicking how to recreate my social media interfaces from rough sketch to digital piece. But once I played around with the templates just in MS Paint alone, it became easier. 

I didn't even plan on fixing the avatar, but once I got into fixing the social media buttons, the rest of the edits made sense!

And even though this is just 1st-stage digital work, if I can get this familiar, it won't be a problem later. Especially as I play around with later programs such as Medibang and Krita.

I actually erased the hashtag symbols and used lines from Paint templates. And then I erased my handwritten rectangles and ovals to use the templates... What a difference!

There will be more posts! And also updates to Handdrawnbycarmenjr on Insta! 

See you next time, dear readers!

Some digital alterations

Worked on a few pages and so far, so good.  Here is a photo of the original. 

Here is a screenshot of the digital alteration.
