For the first time ever I decided to do art of Candi Comics. And by god...the faces are easy as hell to draw. This is one of the main problems I have with the comic. Not to be offensive or anything, but the character designs feel really...cheap. I mean all characters basically have the same face with different hairstyles. Girls have the same bodies. Boys have the same bodies. Even characters like Abuela have the jaggedy face. There's very little variety.
And that's what's always kinda irked me about the comic. So much potential but so little is ever used in comparison to what it could have. Now I'm not saying change the style at all (I'd take most art anyday over the annoying ass Least I Could Do smug-looks). I just mean make different faces here and there. Give the bodies more differing aspects. That's what I tried to do here. Now the characters still basically have the same face (and I guess part of the face thing being easy to draw comes from that I made up a character that basically had that face back when I was like eight (the boy in this animation:

Obviously the coloring is crap (I just slapped it on so that people could tell the characters apart easier), but I hope it looks alright. Just little scribbles from my sketchbook.
Oh, and obviously the thing on the right is the leader of the Squirrel Mafia. I know, he probably ain't gonna be that vicious, but whatev. Wanted to make him more sinister looking.
...and in the comic Jon totally has that weird-ass Norman/Harry Osborn hair ripple going on:
