I chose to grey out most of the page because it was a flashback. Except the part that was both most traumatic, and avoided by Peter, the one he identifies with, the lens he sees his life through, but refuses to process so it doesn't drive him unconsciously.

text: i put all of the text (or most of it) outside the panels to show that they are memories, and not something he has identified with. The text inside the 2nd to last panel is because he identifies with what happened there.

panel 1 of page 4 of Marvel Knights Spiderman me-draw. You know gang, I think I like clean lines. I just can't get away fro them. But I am putting in the effort to break the lines so it don't look like a coloring page. #marvel #comics #knights #spiderman #comicbooks #page #art #drawing #digitalart

In business there is the Triangle of Production: Good, Fast, or Cheap. Pick 2. Starbucks, in a revolutionary move, picks 0. #starbucks #coffee #yuck #nope #joke #oneliner #dad #funny #comedy #humor

I love the use of negative space, i struggle with it, but you did great here!

i have always liked the texture that a ballpoint pen gives. And this is such a whimsical piece!

next pencilled panel in my marvel knights spiderman #9 page 4 me-draw. I am hoping to capture the pathos of Uncle Ben hugging Peter in a flashback. #marvel #knights #spiderman #comicbook #comics #art #drawing #illustration #super #panel #pencil #digital

1st panel of page 4 of Marvel Knights Spiderman #9 me-draw. I'm starting to think that frames maybe the most important part of page composition. #spiderman #superhero #comicbook #comics #hero #illustration #art #drawing #marvel

Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks, said he wanted to highlight the theatre and romance of coffee. So he produced the Hamelette. #starbucks #ceo #funny #joke #dad #oneliner #comedy #humor
