| Gibson before the Girl | Jun 25, 2021 9:52 PM PDT | url |

Added 1 new A* page:The Digital Comic Museum just got a sharply scanned copy of what I think might be American illustrator Charles Dana Gibson's first independent illustration album: the 1894 Drawings by C.D. Gibson.
Taking the form of single-panel comics illustrating the tribulations and foibles of the American upper middle class of the day, the humor is often awkwardly dated, but the illustration is exquisite. "Too Late?" is one of my favorites; this was a handful of years before his tightly corseted "Gibson Girl" look (in 1894, Gibson was about 27).

| Lots of erasing = *\o/*? Off for Juneteenth! | Jun 17, 2021 9:58 PM PDT | url |
|

Added 1 new A* page:Friday update:
I'm not a federal worker but I follow their holidays—otherwise how would I know when to take holidays as a self-employed person?—so I am officially OFF today in observance of Juneteenth, on which we commemorate, each June 19th, the belated emancipation of Black Americans from slavery!
(U.S. Office of Personnel Management tweet on the observation of the new Juneteenth National Independence Day federal holiday.)
~~~~~~~~~~~
Original post:
A kind of sparkly texture came out when I painted the final, reddish-purple watercolor layer over Selenis' leggings in today's page. Neat! Maybe because I'd drawn and erased so many times there trying to get her legs looking sort of right in that steep perspective? Anyway, bonus!

Added 1 new A* page:If I were really smart I'd start drawing heads in a sort of sketchy, shadow-shapey way, and then just paint the darn things more or less freehand...since I often end up doing that anyway after a lot of hemming and hawing over the attempt to follow the precious pencil drawing. ; )
