Commission I did for Create a Comic .Page 6 & 7 of a guidebook

It's a youth literacy program that uses comics to teach creative writing. Very cool idea, if I must say so, and I'm all for keeping kids interested in comics as a creative medium, so go and give them a look-see and if you can help out in any way, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
Technical stuff: Certain things had to be in the panels and I tried to get them as best I could. I'm still horrible at desks (so don't mind the disappearing desk edges) and I managed to lose my ruler while working on this.
The students actually turned out quite like I hoped. This style's very fun to draw in - not quite anime, not quite Peanuts vibe.
Lol, YES, that is the death star he's throwing out of the desk. There's a kitchen sink, too, if you look carefully.
...I really need to work on my paneling more.

Always room for improving. I shudder to think what will happen when I stop learning.

Ah, but that's the beauty of life: you never truly stop learning.

I was inspired by McCloud's books, in fact, when I wrote these comics. Glad you like them! TwinEnigma did a great job bringing the scripts to life.
