comic progress 💫

hey hey everyone, panel wips from scene 69 for you (they be a bit wonky but that's exactly why i want to share them rn) ~

i've been doodling a bit more recently besides working on the comic and it's been really fun and helping me with figuring out a few things and it's quite needed for my confidence if i'm being honest ; o; Robin especially has been my problem child this year... or rather, i always have trouble drawing him because I never can capture how i imagine him. But I noticed a few things that I could do differently to make him look more 'Robin' and I'm now actively working towards it.

My style is a constant work in progress and over the years it has changed a lot. At the core I feel like my style is luckily recognizable and there are certain things that I keep drawing the same (eyes and pouty mouths and stuff like that), but there's not one scene where it hasn't changed and it's just a gradual thing that keeps happening. Recently however i have felt a bit embarrassed about it and i'm not sure where exactly this feeling comes from, but i believe it might be mostly because i didn't get the chance to practice outside of comic work and it made me feel a little insecure. Maybe irrationally so, but oh boy

But good news is that i feel much better about it now that i took my time to doodle random things and I even continued to work on another story that keeps popping up during spooky month every year (it's about wolf boys!! some of my oldest OCs). Showing comic pages over such a long period of time feels vulnerable by default, and at the same time, it's one of the things i love the most about reading manga or comics... seeing the slow improvement in chapters and seeing the artist improve. I hope I also can embrace it soon again with full force, mistakes and all.

Thank you for staying by my side during all of my funky and not so funky phases 🐌  i love you so much
