HEEEY GUYS!
IT'S PAGE TEST DAY!
How have you all been?
I bring you another page test for No North's book 2!
This time this is what I tried out:
No lineart again - just directly painting my original sketch
loose, "handmade" and fun background art
Playing around with the paneling again - making the flowers escape the frame as a way to convey Sherry's overwhelming wonder.
White borders + loose speech bubbles
I feel like this painterly style gives me so much creative freedom to play around with things that were once very strict about my old style. Being able to paint flowers, plants and animals in a more "impressionistic" way feels amazing beyond words! Maybe it also feels softer on the eye as well.
I feel like we're getting close to something very lovely.
How do you guys feel about this style? I think this one is my favorite so far.
I'd absolutely LOVE to hear it!
Thank you all so much for being here!!!
