I’m not sure what it is, but I find myself really drawn (no pun unintended) to these pulled back opening panels, the almost “crane-shot” kindof  establishing shot. I’m not sure why… I don’t particularly like drawing them, they are difficult to setup, and I don’t get to have fun in the details the way I do with closer shots. Also, I’m rarely proud of these panels, I never get them looking exactly how I want…

So what is it? Maybe its that I like setting up where something is taking place, or I like showing the spatial relationships of everyone… or maybe it’s just a way for me to include feet in a drawing, just to spite a friend of mine…

In any case, I find myself doing more and more of them… Next Monday’s strip will have something similar as well. This is the problem when I write something that I think will look great in the script, and then I turn around and realize, “oh god, how am I going to DRAW this?”  But that’s also a fun challenge, and hopefully I can help myself grow as an artist a bit.

Speaking of growing as an artist, got some more new stuff up at the ol’ DeviantArt gallery — check it yo’s!
