Someplace/Noplace

Webcomic/graphic novel in progress. Written in a pile of notebooks, but still being drawn.

Getting it done. Comics take so much work!

I've been meaning to do this thing where I trace text off my phone for awhile and finally tried it. It works!

Someplace/Noplace is coming along. This is from page 55. I need to start lettering and publishing at around page 70. I could have started earlier, but I like having some lead.

Prouder of the little game/movie posters than the stuff that took hours.

I dream about spaces like this. I can never find the exit.

Some of the figures in the background are real. A lot are made up.

Draw, redraw, draw, redraw, draw...

The corrections are on the back of the paper, so the background I drew is still there. Redrawing sucks for speed but really helps me correct, refine, get better at drawing.

Working on it

Inks on Someplace/Noplace chapter 2 are progressing. Writing continues, as always.

I got scared of my comic and didn't ink anything for a minute. Back on the horse. The comic horse.

Drawing. Too tired from drawing to talk about drawing.

My current pencil style is to be barely visible to the human eye.

Model sheets are done so I can photocopy and play dress up with them. Back to drawing the actual comic.

[galtchild]

Revising my proportion sheets for Bob and Erin. I like settling as many measurements as I can as early as I can instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with every drawing. I need master drawings to refer back to because I tend to second guess myself. I have to draw a couple hundred pages of these dudes. Hopefully this makes it faster.

Kyle Baker is one of my favorite comics artist/writers and he told me at one point to not do model sheets. I still do them. Always makes me feel a little guilty.
