Bored Panda got in touch with Stephen Beals again. We wanted to find out more about his comic series and the creative process. First, we were wondering about his favorite moment or elements of the comic creation process, from conceptualization to the final product. Beals shared with us: “Maybe it’s a boring answer, but I love the whole process! I would even feel sad when I finish if I wasn’t always in a hurry to get it online. Designing a new character (who may or may not look like somebody I know) is always fun. If a character is based on a real person, I have to alter the design so that the real person doesn’t see it and say, ‘Oh my god, you’ve turned me into a cartoon!’ However, some coworkers have discovered me (thanks to Bored Panda), and one person even read all of the previous comics (back to the day that I started working with her) to see what parts of her personality made it into the comic. That was stressful.”
We also wanted to know more about Stephen’s favorite tools or software that he uses for creating his comics, and what makes them essential to his process. The artist explained: “Winsor & Newton watercolor brush is my favorite tool. It can ease a trembling hand. My hands are not too steady after a long day, so it’s safe to say that a good brush can hide a trembling hand. Recreating a similar brush in Photoshop or Procreate is essential. I can tell that you’ll be amazed at how much your style changes with the tools you use, even if they are digital.”
