Drawing covers as I cannot seem to write

10 Ohuhu markers with 7 ShinHan Touch markers will be the colors I'll use for my furry comic covers. I'll also use 4 of the 8 Faber-Castell art pens if for any inking.

Also, by coloring only along lines, I can still show skin tones and clothing colors. It makes for more luminescence and gives vibrancy to the characters and space.

When I'm working in black or white, I'll use a single color and perhaps its own shades or tones ONLY for that chapter. I feel it gives a European graphic novel look while I'm aiming for more of an Asian comic look for the covers themselves.

You can see all these covers and draft pages from my story on my Instagram: handdrawnbycarmenjr

Some reminders when working on comics

The drafting for this graphic novel requires me to use scale down storyboarding with these new Faber-Castell pens. I'll probably post one or two pages here. 

I didn't do strict comic scripting for this particular storyboard. There's a lot of inner rules I have to set for myself. And while I'm working on this comic, I have had to upgrade certain skills, change some rules, and do what needs doing at the moment.

I'll also do some sketching and doodling exercises and probably post here and the rest on my Instagram. Trying to take things easy this week at least.
