@bbblesandbeanss I’ll talk abt this🫡🩷

@splatbones how do you approach a layout & compositional shots? for example, wanting to convey a sad scene. how do you know where to place the perceived and characters within that space? how does it guide the other scenes that follow?

I’d like to make a comic guide as well… *__* i want more people to make comics! maybe less of a guide and more of a… kind of what I prioritize and how I think about comics? I want to start drafting… is there anything anyone wanna hear abt my process on in specific ?

@freakwirefish i love overlapping panels… i will!

@splatbones I love your comics!! Id love to see how you plan out the overlapping panels and just panelling in general (^^)d

@marshoworld ^_^ tysm for letting me know! I’ll write on it o_o

@splatbones please talk about the way you choose to approach negative space ... !! I've always been the most interested in that when looking at your works 🙇

@Steelbonnie7 yep..

@235antz im learning how to make them^^ gonna try to make lake pigments as well but starting with rocks. have some woal seeds to plant and harvest for blue. so enlightening and horrible to study colonial color history too wrt indigo and crimson…

@splatbones Tempera paints are easy to make and use :)

making inks and foraging pigments in my free time lately, I really want to study and learn more about reuse and paintmaking this year. This is avocado pits, vinegar, egg whites and cleaning soda!

@marfew_ ahh thank u^^ ive browsed irons website but it seems mostly us focused so more as a curiosity than a guide? but its nice! have you done any lightfastness tests with paprika? :o

@splatbones tumeric is good for making an aggressive yellow. i’ve had success making a pale orange alcohol ink from paprika. “the organic artist” by nick neddo and “make ink” by jason logan are good resources. ellie irons also has a guide to using invasive plants to make ink on her website.

@Skullivander probably! I’d recommend reading a bit more about the chemical process, I know that tannic acid(the colorant in the tea) and iron rust react to make the black together, but I don’t know exactly how so I’m sure there’s smarter ppl out there with tips on what kindsa rust and so^^

@splatbones I'm wondering if I could scrape some rust off an abandoned old car in my neighborhood and use that. I'll have to experiment! Thanks for the general recipe, this will be my entertainment for the next week!

@Skullivander eyeballed a lot cause it was experiment but 5 bags of tea+ 2 cups of water and then boiled and simmered into about 1/3rd of that. rust i got from submerging 2 used steel wool pads in a bit of vinegar then used about 2 tbsp of the rust-sludge. powdered i hear is better?

@splatbones That's a beautiful black! How much tea and rust was used?
