  1. Number one, I love that middle panel for an establishing shot and the buildings and structures. Great display of various textures.

    Second, I love how you appologize for inking the border on the first panel and the little note about finishing the sign letters. Which is a wonderful sign.

  3. I've been buying pen points online for the last few years. I just can't find them in stores any more.

    This page was inked directly on the pencils.

  4. Patrick, I'm glad you like the establishing shot. I really struggled a lot with buildings when I started drawing comics, and they still take a disproportionate amount of time. Guys like Kaluta and Oksner and Mike Golden always seemed to give their buildings "personality" and I keep trying to do that, whether I'm drawing from reference or making everything up like I did here.
