NOTE: I spent a long time on this comic. If you may, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what you liked/didn't like/how I could do better instead of just saying "nice" or something like that. EVERYTHING is Β© ME.
Whew! I finally got around to actually drawing and painting this comic about my little Leaf Creature named Earnest! (indirectly) thanks to . Seeing some great watercolor comics gave me the encouragement to do my own. This is just the first part, so stay tuned for more! (that is, once I go buy a new watercolor pad.)

I think I've mentioned that I use a lightbox now–that is, I took out a clear drawer from a plastic chest and tape my first paper on top and my watercolor paper on top of that, and I hold my desk lamp between my legs for the light while I ink it. It's a bit complicated, but it works and I don't need to worry about erasing pencil lines!

Hope you enjoy this, and PLEASE crit and comment! As I said earlier, I spent a lot of time on this and it would be appreciated!

Wow. This is beautiful - it flows from image to image, and it's the kind of thing you don't need words for. I can just imagine it animated, with some nice music, though.

I actually want to know what happens next.

Thank you! I usually have some sort of music in my head when I do silent comics, to help me keep the feel and the mood....
Don't worry, I'll try not to take to long for the next installment! I actually had one more page, but it didn't seem like a good page to end with, so I'm saving it for the next.

Thank you! Taking your "noodle-limb" critique into consideration, I now have a character that is all noodle. Now I only have to worry about drawing real people.... see you Saturday!
