Spera comic - Process post



For the past couple months I've been working on a short side-comic for Spera, a series of collaborative adventure comics. The comic was a collaboration between writer Josh Tierney and myself, and I had a blast making it--I love drawing comics but I'm no good at writing them! Not great at drawing them either, I think, but I wanted to give my all to this project and make something fun. Below is a breakdown of my process, from thumbnail to finished colors, of one of the pages.

This comic will appear in Spera vol. 3, being published by Archaia. The story centers around Adel returning to school after summer vacation, and his relationships with his school friends. This page is when we meet the school friends for the first time. I love these three. I plan to draw lots of fan art of them!!

I really recommend you go read the original online Spera comic (and these online shorts) and maybe pick up volume 1 (and look out for volume 2 in February!)
