Did this a few days ago. I take parts of conversations I hear and make short comics that have nothing to do with the conversation. This one's a little shorter but the most elaborate. I'm planning on hand lettering the typed in text and ironing the paper when i get some time. I'm also thinking about making more white trees in the background, thoughts?

Cool idea. x3

But I don't think that text looks very appealing. D:

It'd look better if you just wrote it yourself.

Cool. I like it. I would, I always love children's book type illustrations. It's a weak spot of mine.

The one thing I would like to see is the other hand, if only because it looks like you are hiding it so you don't have to draw it (like so many people do with the hands in their drawings) but by the looks of this picture, you don't really have that problem. I just think his arm should be balancing or relaxed or making some kind of movement, even if it's just a few fingers poking out behind him.

Ah, me and my nitpicky ideals.

I want one of the monkey for myself. 4laugh


EDIT: Oh yeah, more trees would be good I think. As long as it doesn't get confusing or cluttered. I think some leafy branches desending into the top left as if from the next tree might look good behind the text. I wouldn't put the trees too far back, to keep the scene "close" and stay about the character and text.

i'm not sure why i didn't draw the hand in... and i do see how it looks awkward. hrm. i'll have to pay more attention in the future. biggrin

thanks for the advice on the trees.
