I can`t remember right now, but I think I`ve used A Modest Proposal before…
I had a lot of fun coloring this first panel. Usually I look at coloring as a chore. It limits the amount of comics I can do in a week and makes those comics take longer. I also feel like I can never assemble a good color pallete.
I`ve been reading a lot more books on newspaper comics, mostly those that have lots of samples, and I realize that color selection is always really simplistic. My imagination filled in a lot of the blanks. That`s not to say that Bill Watterson didn`t do a better job coloring his strips, of course, but I realize that I`m a lot better off than I thought, and to get better, I need to actually simplify, not complicate.
This explains how comic artists can do ten or more strips a week, at least one in color (several are rejected by the syndicate).
