One thing I’ve been working on is exaggerating poses and expressions a bit more. One example of this is the third panel. You can see that Kraal looks surprised in the rough thumbnail version, then in the more refined sketch version he looks a bit more gobsmacked: he slumps forward and his mouth hangs open as he stares up at Chris in unbelief. This helps to really sell how big of a deal this is to him. To some it might not seem like much; his roommates contacted someone to reschedule an appointment for him. That’s nice, but nothing to write home about, right? But to Kraal, it was literally something he could check off of his to-do list, which has been steadily increasing in length since the beginning of the chapter. And if we need any more proof that this is a big deal to him, we need look no further than the very next panel, in which he actually looks elated and somewhat emotional.
