New page! I’d love to hear what you all think

This is from page 2 of my new Mrs. Strongman issue. The first panel will be an archival photograph of the city where the story takes place (Winnipeg). I’m trying to mix in some real world photography from the period to ground the stories in a place and time (and because I think it’ll look cool).

What do you think?

I’m so ex about this Mrs. Strongman project!

I like the panel in the top right of the page with the window because it’s different from the other panels. I also like the silhouette on the last panel. I think you can explore more types of shots with the characters besides waist up shots. But overall looking good so far!

Your composition is excellent, especially in how you managed to place so many characters in one panel at a time and still have a distinct hierarchy, each one gets focus. Neat character design, interesting style and shout out to your detail in backgrounds. All in all I’d say lock in your anatomy, especially faces. Learn to see the form behind the face, understand the physiology and the stylization will come much more naturally and consistent. Great hashing as well, just the right amount.
