YOUR PORTFOLIO CRIT THINGS I'D TELL YOU IF I WERE LOOKING AT YOUR WORK IN PERSON 1 Violating the 180 degree rule makes this sequence hard to follow 2 A few more incidental overlaps will make this foreshortening clearer 3 Symmetrical compositions with a character dead center imply an important moment. Don't draw every panel like that? 4 This __ looks kind of fake. Take the time to look at reference instead of just making it up 5 An establishing shot will help the reader understand where this takes place. 6 Find a life-drawing session to attend, or practice from photos online. 7 Show these pages to someone who doesn't know the story and ask them to tell the story back to you. 8. Nudge this part over a bit to eliminate that tangency. 9 You flattened out the depth by rendering the foreground, middle ground, & background with the same values. Create depth and direct the eye by organizing them into overlapping planes of light & dark. 10 there are better ways to use your time than rendering every brick. 11 these characters look like they're floating (or falling). Draw figures and bg from the same eye level. 12 Unless this will be a wordless comic, leave more room for the lettering

Been a year. Time to repost this.

class starts this sunday! it’s open until then :)

as promised, i’ve added some more background info for this on my patreon!

i can never keep the timeline of d’s history straight, but this is the general idea for now. it’s really just for my own reference. also, it’s probably obvious but decided to reveal d is trans 🏳️‍⚧️

i’ll post this on patreon with more info? if you’re interested in seeing that, it’s patreon.com/leedean

here is an 8-page comic i finished about a month ago, you can read it in full here: leedeancomics.com/passing-thro...
please be aware it has a pretty graphic self-harm depiction. this was originally going to just go on itch, but that doesn't seem to be so great right now.

drew this for fun 🌙✋✨

d is essentially homeless within the narrative of the comic, but here is a moment before they got kicked out of their place lol
