Well I seem to have a clear idea of what I want to draw, and most importantly of what I want the story to tell and how it should look like. Problem is getting there is not as easy as one would want!

One thing I don't really like is, well, color. That's a pretty bold statement, I know.

The thing is I like some color, but just very basic lines, traces of it. That may or may not be linked to the fact that applying color is a real pain too, and that I lack any kind of talent to handle color.

So let's take my previous canvas, now with a bit more of inking and some test shades. I also added some color to the background. Something simple as this would work for me, I'm not a fan of details... I'd like to focus on the story (yeah, maybe I should be writing a book!). Anyway, I'll gather opinions.

A bit of shading and some color. Trying to find 'the style'

By the way, I followed the best advice you can get when working with Inkscape: save often, save with different names, activate autosaving. It's fairly stable, but it still has a tendency to crash with certain operations and, worst, leave your file in a corrupt state.
