Another of the things I&#8217;m trying to get out of this is greater accuracy in construction for the faces; I always had a problem with the initial way that I drew them in that they only <em>really</em> looked correct in their usual 3/4th perspective. Also, there were a lot of fluxuations in my old style, leading to messiness especially when I had to rush it.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to lose the range of expression though. I was thinking because yesterday the faces were oblique/contorted it was difficult to realize what the actual changes were, beyond the angles that I could attain. That said, not looking at my references while drawing led me to cartoonify it a bit more than it was yesterday.

<p>This is a trial run, by the way. I just would like to experiment artistically with the strip for a bit.</p>
<p>Also: Sorry the strip was a few minutes late, Wordpress requires manual DST changes, which I forgot about.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re worried about the strip changing tone, it&#8217;s not. And, if you&#8217;re worried about the change in art direction, well, let the experiment run its course first?</p>
<p>(I apologize for being an insufferable artist, haha)
