(7/25)

The process of inking the final draft is Steven's favorite aspect of the comic book producing process. The act of inking my last lines while simultaneously covering the original sketch is a very pleasant one. As the cartoon develops from a simple pencil sketch into a finished piece, I get to witness it as it emerges from the page and take shape. It is just as satisfying to color the comical strip. As a result, I am able to establish the tone for the particular animation. For the most part, I try to determine the final colors by a process of trial and error. In addition, I find it fascinating that a straightforward modification to the color pallet may completely alter the sentiment conveyed by the comedy.
