Working on a test piece for the Boulder and Fleet comic. My production assistant is going to color flat this for me today, and I got a feeling she's going to hate my guts.
Pencil and brush pen on 22×14.5" bristol.

Guys, if you catch me complaining about how hard it is to make comics ever again, whack me upside the head with this photo. This 12-year-old student broke her ring and pinky fingers on her drawing hand this afternoon at school. Her doctor set the bones and told her to take it easy, but she DEMANDED to come to comics class. I tried to give her a different assignment that wouldn’t require the use of her drawing hand, but again she demanded to do the assignment the others were working on. “Doesn’t it hurt?” I asked. “Yeah, all the time,” she replied. “But I have comics to make.” I never, ever get to complain about how hard it is to make comics again. #comics #comicbooks #teachingarts
