Nice…I was just asking about last week’s word balloon placement . Glad to see some discussion was only a click away.

Hey Everyone, thanks for the comments.

Matt, good to hear from you. I’m way big on getting everything all thumbnailed out before I start drawing. It’s helped me get lots better as an artist too, because it’s easy to come up with ideas in stick figure form that I probably might not try to draw otherwise. Hey, when are you going to post again on your blog?

Schwa, Kelly, Maia, thanks for the props on the perspective. I’m not sure if I’m getting better at it, but definitely getting more confident in what I attempt. And that Zip certainly had a big airplane collection, huh? I’ve been pretty good at keeping up on it. There have been only two pages that I forgot about it and had to go back once I’d inked up the artwork and put an airplane in there.

Mike, … someday.

I think you handled the perspective very well Tyler! It doesn’t look weird actually it looks right in place. And yeah, the paper aeroplanes are still around! Awesomeness!

I thought this was some really bravado storytelling myself, and I’m very happy indeed that you explained how you arrived at it, because it’s such a great example of why before you start drawing a panel you need to know what needs to be seen and why. And you pulled off some tricky perspective without it looking wonky! Bravo!
