So, you might be wondering, what with the map on the previous page of the silted-up oxbow pond they're about to cross, why couldn't they just go around the bog? Well it appears Tina has explored that area too. No trails, lots of underbrush and enough thorny bits to strongly discourage passage while wearing short shorts. Despite present appearances to the contrary, this is the easiest path across. Mud washes off, cuts and scratches not so much. Tina as those who've watched her for so long, is not the least bit intimidated by the muck now reaching her knees, and even has a bit of advice for carrying out this little 'bog trot', much to Sherryl's dismay.
Technical:
So I've spoken about the fog effects and the desaturated shading that seems to fit the conditions. I learned one new thing that appeared on Page 105, and makes a more prominent mark on this page. Many know how to do this, but I only learned about it 6 months ago as of this writing, watching a speedpaint by YouTuber "TheStarfishface" where she demonstrates making comics with Clip StudioPaint. On this video, the CSP toolbars were actually visible (a lot of art YouTubers/streamers hide the tools and only show the art window).
If you jumped to this video and happened to peek at the comments you already know what I learned (my comment is near the top), but for those still reading this, the tactic is...borders on text and lines. You'll see these in the squishy-squooshy sound effects written into some of the panels. When using the pen or text tools, there is an additional toolbar called "Layer Properties". Inside that are various effects that can be applied to brush strokes, and one of them is "border" Along with that are sliders for adjusting the border width, and a color picker for the border color (independent of the main color). Note that these settings persist for any text or strokes appearing on that layer, so if you want to make different border colors on subsequent text/strokes, you'll need to put them on a new layer. I didn't use the text tool in these examples, all border text was freehanded.
Digital drawing done in Clip Studio Paint EX. 22 layers including text objects, 39MB .CLIP file. Part of Project ID# 512
