So this is backwards, but i was reading online how to design a character, and one of the key steps before you even draw anything, is to make a silhouette. Then after you do it, you identify the major basic shapes in your character, and see if they work well together. I have no idea which shapes work together, but i thought I’d try to give an RH silhouette a go, and that’s what i came up with 5mins later. Not bad, considering i wasn’t expecting it to come out looking like anything more than a mangled psychologists ink blot.

One thing to note that I learned, is that a key to a good character design, is so that people can recognize it by it’s silhouette. Check out these i found online. Who knew character design was more than just drawing a thing out and having it in a cool pose.

And if you’re gotten this far please click this for hilarious remake of Take On Me song.

Woo hoo! The first couple pages are done. It took me a week and a half to do it, but I’m happy with the way it turned out. Alright, now to see if we can keep this going. I changed up the style at least 3 times while making the first 2 pages.. this title page is basically one of my original RH drawings, but still one of my favourites.

About the comic itself: I really, really hope to finish chapter 1. It’d be so cool. Go, go Romo for putting his writing mind to use for me. Enjoy
