Page 01 - in progress

A glimpse of the first page, the upper half to be precisely. While the final page is drawn in A3, the preparatory drawings are done on two sheets in A4.
As there is no colour yet, it is not visible, but the hat in the second panel belongs to the lady in the first one.

Fur and Feathers 1: Detours (Page 00)

And the story begins...

I have a feeling both of the carriage lamps could have been a bit smaller, even though - at the beginning of the 19th century - they were indeed bigger in comparison to preceding models.

The history of "Fur and Feathers"

A bit more than half a year ago, in June 2011, I drew a comic page with knowing barely anything about the characters involved and exactly nothing about the events which led to the particular scene I was drawing. What started as a mere pasttime soon turned into a strong interest in these characters´ respective past and future.

So I began to work on their story, researched the time and location where the action takes place (who would have thought that a simple question as how people used to send letters about 200 years ago could be this interesting!) and so on. Now I finally reached the point to start with the actual drawing.

There will be - at least at the moment - no regular update of my webcomic "Fur and Feathers" as my studies keep me on the go and it takes me some time to finish a single comic page. Aside from this it is my first comic project so far (not included what I did with pen and paper when I was a (half-grown) child, of yourse). But I hope to eventually find a rhythm and to increase my pace of work.

Usually I will upload a black and white version of the final page first, before adding colour as this again will not be done overnight.
