I thought I'd explain my process of drawing a strip. Once I've figured out what I want the dialog to be, I write it about where I want it in each frame. then I draw very rough sketches of the characters in each frame. When I'm satisfied with the general layout, I start pencilling in all the details. Once I'm satisfied with how everything looks, I lighten the pencils with a kneaded eraser, and ink with Sakura Micron pens (I might also use a black Prismacolor marker for large black areas, like Maya's hair). Then I erase all the stray pencil marks, and fix any inking errors with correction fluid. I'm by no means an expert, but that's how I do it.

This is the first time I've drawn Adam Zappell's entire body and got it to look somewhat close to what I wanted (and it's still not very good).

This is the logo that I put on my business cards.
