So I am pretty excited to get some comic "inspiration" by wanting to make a gift to someone! This is the first draft and I'm really happy with it! Needs some readability improvement and panel fine-tuning but it's a nice 1-pager!
I think I'm gradually getting back to being a comic maker!
\o\ |o| /o/
Paneling and blue-lining done!!! Tomorrow hopefully it will be finished! But only with some basic inking :( I'm not sure how to scan pages with the uni scanner for the time being xD
Penciling done! Now comes the final part of inking, which has to be done with a few hours... :S
Aaaand Toyohito is back!!! Present is ready and inked! :D Ink smudges are because it's the first time I tried out sumi ink and it seems that it takes its time to dry... -_-
Feel free to comment! I just hope you'll get a laugh out of it!
(Note on the text of the final bubble: And they say bees are smart...sigh)
@ntoyohito it's cute.
:p i like it.
@ntoyohito Haha stupid bees, they can't even recognize a duck when they see it
(But seriously it's very cool ! The bees and flowers are perfect)
@ntoyohito Very lovely! Sumi ink does indeed take time to dry but it sure gets that nice dark black...
@awwbee
What actually felt SO good was it's texture and feeling on the page!! I think I have found an ink that feels super nice for me! (I just hope it can be used with watercolours too)
@ntoyohito most sumi ink should be safe with watercolor once fully dry!
@ntoyohito Such clean crisp panel lines.... I am in amazement and envy
@awwbee
I used a ruler.... No chance in hell I'd be able to do these free hand. But none the less, thank you so much!
@ntoyohito even with a ruler im so bad at it... i just need to practice a lot i suppose

Follow the masters' guidelines! For some days I was just filling one A4 page (print quality) with ruler lines with a g-pen to get used to it. It was a bit boring, but I could also process how "weird" it feels to actually get used to an automated move like that consciously. That way it ended up being fun xD
