#I'm not a professional comic artist tho- so I could always have room for improvement :]

What I really like about when you draw characters interacting or like- talking, you always manage to make them look so natural. Sometimes in comics artists make their characters look really stiff and unnatural when they talk to each other because they're not really doing anything and just kindof standing around. But when I look at your comics I never feel that awkwardness, because the characters are always doing something else with their hands. Like in your new comic with Ford holding the pigeon, but even in your older stuff I see it too. I think it's really cool how you manage to shove so much personality into a few panels.

I think a neat rule of thumb for me is just to always have the hands in frame and busy! Whether they just be holding something, doing something, or just gesturing. The way i see it, hands have a lot of personality and they help breathe some life into the characters :) Especially considering most of my comics are just characters floating in the empty white void. If you can't use the scenery to your advantage, use the body language, yaknow!

Not to mention, it's a perfect way to establish dynamics between characters. Show don't tell and whatnot. It's like including an additional story that can either compliment the scene from the background or help guide it.
