Digging thru old files today I found this very unique thing I thought was lost. This was the very first page of Coda -until I realized mid-way inking it wasn't working right. It was the only page in the whole series I redid completely from scratch. I think no one ever saw it.

Nib testing. The ones that are the hardest and produce the thinnest lines are my favourite. This girl is the size of my thumb, for comparison.

More testing.

You can (you must!) always think of little things to make even the simplest panels -in this case just a conversation scene - to be interesting and alive.
