I thought the extra paper was just used to prevent smearing of the draft.

This is brilliant. As a left handed person, is this what will finally help me write christmas cards that aren’t a streaky mess? 🥹

There's half-gloves to prevent smudging!

Ooooh. I thought it was a reference which made me wonder a reference for paper was needed.

But think about it this way!
You're so perfect that you're a reference point! That or your immortalized in a comic.
One day you will be drawn on. One day

I read it as they're the paper the artist is resting their hand on, to prevent smudging the actual comic.
But, as long as they stay clean, they could be a future comic.

thought of this comic while making another comic, then used the same piece of paper i rested my hand on on that comic while making this comic. poor guy has been so close yet so far twice.

Now’s the time to make him an airplane and he’ll realize he was never meant for the desk but the sky

My stupidity might be showing, but I have no idea what's going on, and why the artist is using the paper for absolutely nothing?

Not stupidity, just inexperience with inking comics or drawing in general. It's best to use a piece of paper under your hand to protect the paper/artwork from the natural oils on your skin and from smudging when inking.

In my high school art class (80s) we called it the Smudge Paper. Nice to know people are still doing this. For all I know, The Kids Today embrace having a hand smeared with various colors.
