  Google's hidden reverse image search!Nov 29, 2012 5:19 AM PST | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Did you know that Google has a reverse image search? I didn't! But if you go to images.google.com and, instead of typing some image keywords to search for in the search bar, drag an image from a folder on your computer into the search bar, a "search by image" drop box appears over it, and Google will try to find pages on the web that have that image. Neat!
 
Heretofore the only reverse image search I'd really known about was TinEye, which has sometimes been useful but also has sometimes not been so useful. So it's nice to know there's another resource for looking up the source of specific images like that.
 
This handy internet tip was pointed out on The Webcomic List forum by Zoe Robinson of the long-running webcomics All Over The House and The Life of Nob T. Mouse.

Some process points in the making of today's A* page:

Those intermediate inking stages before big black fills always look nice somehow. I used to dread having to do scenes in light-background areas, but now I'm rather looking forward to it. Gotta work on ways to utilize that stage better in dark areas, too; I left the fills away from the lines in a few places in this page--wanted to try more but somehow it didn't quite seem like the thing for this particular image. Hm hm hm... Maybe strokey fills instead of solid fills... I'll keep working on this. :P
