Baiting
[dc]Y[/dc]ou remember No Filter Fox’s pal, HB right? Last we saw the pair, they went to see How to Train Your Sloth. Hey, the tree next to the sign in the background looks familiar.
This week’s comic is the result of a few things.
- After reading Kyle Baker‘s How to Draw Stupid and Other Essentials of Cartooning , I wanted to focus on ‘funny pictures,’ expressions, and movement. HB’s body type let me experiment with exaggerated motion a bit.
- Since I was going for more of a visual gag, I had to rethink how to do the strip. I used my Rory’s Story Cubes (and the Actions expansion set. I have the Voyages set too) to get the creative juices flowing.
It helped. I came up with the idea for this strip in a few minutes (the rough idea anyway).
- I wanted to draw a big, goofy monster.
The creature in the third panel, who enjoys eating butterflies as its bib suggests, doesn’t have a name at the moment. I’m open to suggestions.
