Gerhard (the background artist of <i>Cerebus<\/i>, who draws better than just about anyone in comics nowadays) apparently loathes his own work, because he can never get it to look the way he wants it to. So perhaps it&#8217;s hopeless. :-)<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, for those of you interested in work process, below is a pencil drawing of panel two, which I worked on for a couple of hours (erase, redraw, erase, redraw, erase, redraw) before deciding to dump it and start over from scratch. I just couldn&#8217;t get Fruma&#8217;s hands to work right from this angle. I like the Mirka head, though.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fruma_reject.gif\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amptoons.com\/blog\/images\/fruma_reject.gif\" width=\"475\" height=\"235\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE<\/b>: I&#8217;ve added the final panel here, too, so people could<br \/>compare the two even after I put the next page up on girlamatic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fruma_final.gif\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amptoons.com\/blog\/images\/fruma_final.gif\" width=\"475\" height=\"272\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New page of Hereville.
