Holy crap, has it really been one week since I last posted something?
Okay. So. As I mentioned earlier, I've tried out the "blurred background" look for my comic strips and I actually really loved how it looked! This was the first comic strip I tried it on:
I really loved how it gave some sort of sense of depth to how far the background was and how close the characters were to the "camera," per say. I personally thought this is pretty much the perfect-looking comic strip I've ever created, ever. 'Nuff said.
I'm not the kind of guy who can write out one comic strip per day like Jim Davis, but I tried to choose strips I thought are funny and great enough to turn digital.
Then I ran out of those. Like, quick.
So now I have to create actual original strips rather than taking some from my sketchbook. They're still original, but in this case, I'm taking them from my sketchbook.
In other news, has anyone ever read Of Mice and Men? For English, we were assigned to create an alternate ending/extra chapter of the story following the author's style of writing. I felt really proud of my work, which is weird, considering you never really feel proud of doing a good job on a school assignment, just only that you completed it is enough to be happy about it.
So anyway, today I turned it in, feeling pretty good about it. And I thought, "Well boy, I should post what I wrote here!" I will, soon after I get it back from grading.
I felt like keeping a blog really does help with improving writing skills.
