How do you feel about the larger paper size? It looks like its freeing you up a bit, in terms how you lay out a page, and giving you more room for detail and lettering. Could you please tell me the dimensions? Lately, I've been thinking about doing somethi

I’m undecided…

For the past couple of years I’ve been drawing about 6x9 inches. I used to work much, much larger, but scaled down to work faster.

The new comic I’m drawing is 9x12. It does feel like there’s way more elbow room to play around with layout. I don’t know yet how I’m going to feel about the line weight after the drawing gets reduced. All of these comics I’ve been drawing are going to be put into a book next Spring, and I’m worried that this particular story will look a little different from the others because it was drawn on larger paper.

The experience of drawing on big paper again feels fun. I think after I have finished the material for the book collection, I will keep drawing at a larger size, with the intention of making a book that’s closer to the 9x12 dimensions.
