Field of Nightmares…
Man, how do the web cartoonists out there that do full-color strips DO it???
Okay, I know how they color their strips. I actually used to color the Sunday Syndicated strips for a local newspaper when I was a graphic production grunt so I have the skills to color. What I’m talking about is SPEED! How do cartoonists like Paul Southworth do it so fast? Today’s strip practically killed me.
I started the coloring process at 5:00pm or so. That went until 7:30 when I left work to go get a buzz cut and some dinner for me and the wife. Got home around 9:00pm, ate and was at the laptop between 9:45 – 10:00pm or so. I finished coloring at 1:15am, put the strip into Illustrator for words and balloons and just now uploaded the strip almost exactly at 2:00am.
That’s why Capes isn’t a full time, full color strip!
🙂
Hope you all enjoy the final payoff of the Little League arch. It was fun (even this one).
Currently listening to “Edge of a Broken Heart” by Vixen…
