Opportunities

Elliwiny: Sarah might not be as good on the spot but she gets the job done. And now that I’m looking at this again it really is amazing how a little desk clutter and a few props go such a long way to building a believable space. The cool thing about comics is you draw so much you wouldn’t even think to, but it’s all part of the big picture.

Sincerely: There are a lot of comic people out there who will say that backgrounds (outside of establishing shots) and props aren’t important, that you should focus on character acting and whatnot. I don’t want to be the guy that’s like “no actually, you should draw backgrounds even though they’re hard and nobody consciously notices them”.

But the truth is, I am always gonna be that guy. Setting can be as much a character as the characters are, if you let it.
