Pulled from a 4 panel comic on my #KidsComicsStudioAnthology experience. Debated making it my illustrated headshot but opted for the current one.

Even though I switch between glasses and contacts, the glasses feel more "me" and maybe it's because I'm comfortable hiding behind them.

Graphic with an illustrated avatar of Bert Tzeng with the heading "Taking over our account today" Bottom of graphic features the Kids Comics Studio Anthology logo with the ant Holly G to the left and the KCU mascot Kasey the fox to the right Hey everyone! It’s my turn to take over the Kids Comics Studio Anthology account. Thanks for the warm welcome - and don’t forget to support the anthology on Kickstarter! I’d like to talk about the process for creating my story, The Quha Gardens. I've talked about it during our Kickstarter pre-launch party (and of course, on my Substack) but this is the first time I've laid out the entire timeline in one post. Creating the submission (June-September) The first phase was submitting my pencilled pages and 1 finished, colored page by the first due date (September 15, 2024). I spent most of this time writing the outline and the script - about 2 months (June and July). This took a lot longer than expected, thanks to my perfectionist voice that kept pushing me to make everything perfect. But I have great critique partners who told me when the script was as done as it needed to be, and I was ready to move on to thumbnails. It was a powerful permission slip, giving me just what I needed to go forward. I spent most of August working on thumbnails, which I often ran by my critique partners as a sanity check. This step went by faster - about 3+ weeks. From the end of August to early September I worked on pencils. This step went more quickly since the hard decisions were behind me, but it still left me with only a couple of days to ink and color page 1. I spent a day and a half on inks and only a few hours applying flat colors (without shading or highlights). It was my fastest effort yet - good enough to get my submission in on time! A few weeks later, a critique partner said she’d enjoyed watching the pages develop and suggested I write about my process. Believe it or not, I hadn’t assumed anyone would be interested, but her encouragement was a big permission slip to open up - and finally start my Substack! In October I received feedback from the anthology‘s editorial team and started working on revisions, which were due on January 15, 2025. There was a key narrative point in my story that the editorial team suggested revising. It was a great idea that wound up consuming most of my time (2 months, from mid-October to early December). I leaned heavily on my critique partners, sending them sketch after sketch and getting their input on how to tell a complex story in a single panel. From there, I spent the last month of this step inking. It look a little longer than I expected - I had to fill in a lot of gaps in my loose pencils - but at least I hadn’t overworked my pencils like I had overworked my outline. All that was left was coloring. I thought I had plenty of time (over 2 months) until the March 21 due date. I was mistaken! I spent most of the time (about 1 1/2 months) searching for the right palettes for two key elements: the Quha (life energy) and the gardens where the story takes place. I sent my critique partners dozens of value studies and color tests. In addition to their feedback, I got great lessons on how to balance dark vs. light values and high vs. low intensity colors. It felt like a huge win when I discovered palettes that I liked. At the end of February, I started adding flat colors, spending over 2 weeks (about 3-5 days per page). I spent the last week adding highlights and shadows, giving the art a three-dimensional look. This step went by the most quickly but I was still counting the days until the due date! Conclusion It’s hard to believe the story was finished over a month ago and the Kickstarter campaign is in full swing (and fully funded - thank you!). It's been a complete experience, full of inspiring, enlightening, exhausting, and terrifying moments. I learned to tell a story in a few pages but still fill it with heart and meaning; grown more comfortable working under deadline and letting go sooner; and above all, bringing in critique part…
