I just discovered a neat tool in Clip Paint that lets me draw whole objects, like little pebbles. The next time they’re outside, I’m going to see if I can spruce up the background without making it look terrible and tacky.

Though it’s probably better for me to just admit I’m lazy because it’s not like “ancient stone” is hard to draw. It’s squiggly-lined brick pattern. (Then again, the making of this comic is a delicate balance between challenging myself and not pushing myself so hard the executive dysfunction that plagues me pushes back and then the whole thing collapses, so perhaps not “lazy” after all.)
