Panel 1: Note that, IIRC, I dug up the image for Young Hannah's "YOU'RE FOXY" T-shirt by image searching for mid-2000s tees for tweens. Say, is it just me, or has the once-ubiquitous term "tweens" faded in popularity? Seems like I used to hear that all the time, but no longer.

Throughout this page you can see me struggling desperately to render leap-dappled shade in graphite—struggling and largely failing, alas, as that's a visual riff much more easily carried out in color. Arguably the only shot that actually worked well to convey leaf-dappled shade is the final panel's high-contrast, ink-based image.

Today’s Patreon update: Originally done as a means of scratching out more worktime to complete the long-gestating Empowered vol. 12, I've switched over to a Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday Patreon posting schedule that won't feature the fixed content format I previously used. So, who knows what today's post might feature? Could be Life Drawing or Distressed Damsels content (both of which are featured at least three times per month), or something in the Work Stages, Vintage Con Sketches or Design departments, or possibly something entirely new, such as updates on fantasy test project The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
