After my famous struggles with colors, I realized I also have a thing with framing: I tend to make 'full things' and then struggle when it comes to cropping. Cutting pieces off a drawing you’ve worked on is so frustrating haha. But here is a good example: cropping it made me love it more!
I’ve been enjoying this style a lot. At first it was just meant to be quick and “sketchy” so I could keep it chill, but over time it refined itself. I’m still chasing that sweet spot between flat colors and just enough shading (but not too much!), kinda hard. I know that one thing what really defines my style are expressive lines. For those who’ve followed me for a while, you know that’s always been my thing and every time I try to go for cleaner, thinner lines, I just can’t (you can see that in the Subway piece (with joris), even if the colors make up for it a bit).
With this art style I really work on the lines: there's a main line layer, a colored-line layer, and two or three “extra line” layers on top to give them different treatments haha.
Sorry for rambling, I just felt like sharing some process thoughts!
I’ll probably make a full post breaking down the art and the workflow in the comic sometime soon.
I’m excited for the upcoming update btw, I think I finally nailed the action in this scene!

Me encantan, igualmente como he leído otros comentarios, lo vi en Tapas y aquí estoy suscrita. Alguien que me aclare que ascendencia tienes Tera, es latino? Tengo curiosidad porque me lo imagino con ese color de piel canela en contraste con la piel blanca/rosada que seguro tiene el chico. Como dos opuestos muy sexys y a la vez complementarios

Hi, I just subscribed after binging your comic on Tapas last week. You are an amazing artist and story teller, and as a parisian, I'm so happy the story takes place in my city!! 🥖😁
