Improvised comic drawing video
I've been making Procreate templates for fixed-format strips, so I improvised a comic to try one out. I remembered after I made it that Procreate records your drawing by default, so here's the video. The finished comic is below. It is, sadly, near-gibberish.

It's so lovely. It makes me want to have a go at something similar on my comic. I just hope it counts as inspiration and not stealing.
You certainly wouldn't be stealing, halftone is an important part of the comics toolbox.
I love the newspaperness of this. How did you get that tone effect?
It was a tone brush I had for Procreate - I think my friend Dan Berry made it.
V nice.
The change to "freaken" is almost disappointing. hashtagletlottieswear
I did it to annoy pottymouths everywhere, I had realised it was recording by that point and chuckled at my completely unnecessary self-censorship.
Okay, okay I’m going to ask the dreaded questions: what pencil and ink brushes did you use? I’ve got to know! :)
Standard 6B procreate pencil and Dupa pen from Georg's Procreate Brushes... I bought it in a set years ago and can't remember what it was called https://georgvw.sellfy.store/
Also, it’s really fun to see your drawing process!
Looks kind of like Brian.
Agree, but interestingly, in the process video, he starts out looking sort of like Len Pickering. The beard got added at the very end of the pencils stage.
still a better comic than Garfield
I wouldn't say it's "near-gibberish". I mean, I don't quite know what's going on, but this is obviously intended as just one strip in a story, not a self-contained one-shot. But it does more or less make sense.
Fun to see!
