Yeah, I know I'm already a day late, and it's only day 2. But this is the latest episode of the webcomic I do, about my life as a stay-at-home mom and erotica writer. I spend most of my work hours on this yesterday, and finished up at around midnight. I was too tired to post it last night so I'm doing it today. Not a doodle, but definitely artwork, so I'm saying it counts.
I wasted a lot of time yesterday trying to figure out how to best get the word balloons done. The program I use for these cartoons is Manga Studio Debut. It's a great program, except... It completely craps out any time I try to adjust the line spacing in any of the text. Nothing else I do with the program causes any problems, and nothing else I do with the text I'm working on causes a problem. Heck, I can adjust the letter spacing with no trouble at all, but doing anything with the line spacing causes the whole thing to go down in flames. And since Manga Studio Debut defaults to 100% line spacing and I prefer to use 80-85%, you just know I'm doing a lot of swearing every time I go to work on the dialogue balloons. Still, I've not yet found an option or work around that looks better. Even taking the artwork into Adobe Photoshop and adding word balloons there doesn't look as clean or nice. Believe me, I've tried.
So here's yesterday's doodle. I'll post another one later today for today's efforts.
