- Rhoda in New and Old Flames
I actually didn't resize anything for the web version of these sketches. I was zoomed way in, using the grid as a guide. When simply practicing proportions and such, I tend to go pretty small as I can sketch faster that way, and it's easier to draw one sketch right next to the other and compare how on-model the design is staying.
Something I've been trying to do with the characters is vary their physical structures more. There's limits to what I can do with established characters without making it look like they've undergone some form of extreme transformation (which could actually work in this comic), but I like the results with Rhoda so far.
