What a Beautiful Sunset!


"Automatic Stick Translation"

Panels 1 and 2: How should I know?
Panel 4: Not now! Are you crazy?!
Panel 6: Oh.
Panel 7: I guess we could get 50 winks of shuteye.
Panel 7: Not really...
Panel 3: We sticks have to sleep longer than people do.

To make the sunset in panel 6, I started off with drawing the sun. (Really? Amazing, isn't it?) Then I colored it yellow. I drew a yellow glow around it. Then I drew some orange around it. Then I drew some red around that. Then I drew some pink around it. (To do the pink, I just colored red lightly, because I don't have a pink colored pencil.) Then I put some gray (black lightly) around the borders of the yellow glow and the orange glow. The result? A beautiful sunset!
