Artist's Comments

I've played around with speedlines, trying to get mine to look close to the incredible sense of speed and motion that Yukito Kishiro (creator of Battle Angel Alita) has in almost every panel. I wanted to try to put speedlines on colored art, and came up with this picture. It might be a bit heavy on speedlines and light on background, but meh.

One thing I've learned is that speedlines look best if they're all of similar thickness, which is not the case here.

I like the addition of speed lines, actually.

The only thing I see that's odd is her hair. It seems very static in comparison to the rest of her, and the speedlines around her ponytail look out of place as a result. Maybe a slightly wilder look to indicate movement?

Good point. I did try something like that, but the speed lines and hair lines didn't look good together, so I forgot about it.

I guess I'll have to turn to master Kishiro and see how he does it.

You're right, it is a bit speedline heavy, but only by a fraction. This is a really awesome pic.

Something witty, something witty.
