More of Me dotter's work...

I'll eventually just make this her site. Ok so here's the process..My daughter usually comes up with an idea the night before it's due to print (I guess I HAVE had an impact on her after all). This consists mostly of a LOT of internet searches, text messaging her friends and snack breaks. Once she has an idea, she pencils the main characters and then inks them with a good old fashioned rapidiograph (#2 for most). The elements usually aren't in strip form at this point- just random spot art on a page. She then scans the art at 1200 DPI Bitmap mode. She opens the Photoshop template created for her strip and places her line art. She colors everything on separate layers. We recently discovered a program called Comic Life -- she usually does all of her lettering there and then copies and pastes the captions into her Photoshop file. I sit with her and make my suggestions all along the way which she summarily dismisses. The finished cartoon is flattened, resized and e-mailed-- usually right before I nod off.
