Commander Broccoli by Cheryl Nickel

I did a survey on facebook on whether or not people would appreciate my comics in colour more than black and white. Most people said yes to colour, some didn't care about the colour as much as the content, and a couple people had good reasons for preferring black and white. 
    I decided to do colour, just 'cus it's fun. Except for the ones printed in the daily newspapers, of course. This time the colour is a little more subdued. I coloured my comics a few years ago just for my website and looking back, they are a little tacky with their bright pink or orange backgrounds. I did some research and I really like the way Robb Armstrong's comic "Jumpstart" is coloured, so I took a mental note about why his colours work and mine didn't. Now I understand and know what works. I've got a lot to learn about colour still.
