Page 2!

I surprised myself with how well this page turned out :)  Masking fluid and white out are awesome.  Sparkly rainbow outer spaaaace!

Special thanks to my friends at Drawbridge - I inked this page at their studio.  I put their blog in my blogroll to the right.  I also learned something very interesting when I was there about "dot gain."  Take a look at the black and white line art of page 2:

Look at the black strips coming from the character's right arm - they are separated by very thin white lines.  I learned that the lines may disappear in the printing process due to dot gain!  Dot gain is when ink spreads out a little when it's laid down on paper.  The fact that the art is shrunken down for printing would also diminish the lines' visibility.  So, in Photoshop, I widened the lines, as you can see in the final piece.  The more you know!

PS:  For some reason the email notifications for my mailing list seem to come a day late - I'll look into that!
