[12] Smoking Battles: Nicotine patches

I think one of the things that were really lacking in the earlier comics were more dark values. I think I tried to improve the comic by shading and I liked crosshatching.

I still remember mykill commenting on this back when it first came out but I can't remember what exactly he said. Something about overshading? Either way, I didn't exactly know what I was doing and I think I just shaded all over the place.

I'm not too fond of this comic. Joke-wise, I got part of it from a stand up comic I heard on the radio. She joked about sticking the patch over your mouth and I added using the patch to tape cigarettes to the ceiling. I think. I felt really bad afterwards though. I have no idea who that comic was I heard on the radio but the joke wasn't all mine.

I think from here, the comics starts to look better. I think I switched pen widths again and at some point, I foud out about the curve function on Photoshop. I just can't remember when that was.
