Ha! A new scene, a new colour theme and introducing a brand new character: il Capitano - the captain. He is a Commedia dell'Arte character, but I doubt the "real" Capitano was very much like mine.
The greatest challenge of this page was of course panel two. I wanted to show what kind of place we're at, and so I wanted the panel to contain 1) people drinking 2) women with little clothes on and 3) if possible people involved in a fight. I drew the panel several times, and finally I even managed to squeeze the fight into it.
I have also begun to spend more time on the colours. Perhaps you notice…

Well, there is one more important thing I would like to tell you about this page.
I think it's a bit boring to sit alone at my desk at home and draw. Especially as the only things I need when drawing are my pencils and a paper, all which are portable. Of course I also need some sort of table.
Well, the point is I have built my own mobile drawing board! My quest is to walk around in the world and find interesting locations where I can draw my comic pages. That would also give me something interesting to tell you about in my comments.
This page was drawn in the main library of Gothenburg (where I live, and that's in Sweden in case you didn't know), in an underground train station and finally in my school library. That day in the school library it was a terrible storm, and loads of water was blown in from the sea. After a little while two out of three of the school's exits were blocked by water, and it was close I didn't make it home! There's an adventure!
Another idea I have is to figure out a system to somehow take photos of were I draw the pages and show them here… We'll see about that.

Phew, that was a long comment!
