It's not often that I paint directly from scratch with no sketch or line art, so I wanted to share this one. It's a risky technique, and I'm even eyeballing all the perspective, no grids here. I also avoid blending and smoothing, showing the brushstrokes on the canvas more clearly. I'm doing this to incorporate 'errors made naturally by humans', and I like it. It feels closer to the spontaneous style I like in my ballpoint pen sketches.

@davidrevoy amazing! But I'm surprised you put in the text first, image after! I do it the other way, but I'm a real amateur, so maybe actually what I do is stupid!
@cryptax @davidrevoy This had me think of printing text and only text, then penciling.

@thematic @cryptax I took this habit after applying this (gold) tutorial, that was an in-house comic 'tips and tricks' at Disney: https://www.tumblr.com/fundz64/150897623108/aapstra-disneys-comic-strip-artists-kit-by (page 1 shows the problems, page two the solution).

The max area size of the panel is rarely what we can fully use to express the art, character and acting. The space occupied/eaten by the text speechbubbles substracts to the full area of the panel (and usually goes on the top). That's why I prefer now to place it first.
