Ruth the rebel

An old A3 sketchbook had opened at this page as I'd leant it against a chest of drawers the night before. The original is an inked pencil. I scanned it for this and traced it before simplifying the lines and adding colour. No previous character developing process has made me so excited to keep going and get it right. This is a combination of the upgraded Cintiq, Manga studio and the decision to use colour. I hope to be uploading some scenes outside the scope of the book o'er the next few weeks. If you like this, stay tuned.

This is Ruth in something like the girls' PE uniform (without school logo) from my high school against a vague dry grass and sky background. Her rebellion? Thongs. Make no mistake, she thinks that's a joke, too.
