Yesh~ Chloe did difficult perspective no jutsu~ I'm proud of those stairs and the front room. I absolutely LOVE drawing interiors. Seriously. They're a bit of a pain to ink cos I don't like using rulers when I ink so I do all those straight lines freehand… ahaha… but still, I really like drawing them. I hate exteriors, but interiors are great. I tried to use as little tone on them as possible so I didn't drawn the lineart. *nod* What's hardest is making the characters look in proportion with the background… D:

See this little trick I do~ This is a super secret but I'll blab - when drawing a character over a detailed BG make a small white outline around them to "disconnect" them from the background. See how Bub stands out on those stairs? That's because the lines of the BG don't join up to the lines on him. It stops him from blending in and helps him stand out more~ I've done it on pretty much every panel where there's any sort of background~ XD I also use thicker outlines around the characters and thinner lines for the BG. ^^ [/artybabble]

You know, this is just what Bubblegum needs right now. He's just about to go out and hook up with some hawt guy he met in the park, spent ages getting ready (he even made a emo!hoodie especially!) and is just approaching the front door when… duun dunn DUUUH… the face of his boyfriend appears on TV. Dang.

And that was a pretty prickly thing for Cocoa to say… like, ouch.
