I know I usually post a new page on the first Friday of every month, but things are crazy with my other project and I think I’m better off extending my hiatus one more week so that I can properly get my webcomic house in order. Sorry about that, folks. But to help make up for it, I hope you’ll enjoy seeing the pencils from a recent page of the main story. As you can see, my pencils are pretty scratchy, and I end up adding a lot of the background details when I do my inks.
The Flip Book story will continue as usual on Tuesday. I’ll be sure to add in an extra update later on, to make up for missing this one!
If I had done that you would see millions of erasure-marks going almost through the paper !
Please don’t tell me its on a piece of 8 1/2 x 14 !
Really wonderful- you make it look so easy.
The size of the paper I draw on is 11×17, and the image area is roughly 9×14. That’s actually smaller than I used to work– my old pages had an image size of 10×15 (and an even larger paper size), which used to be standard comic book size. I made it smaller mainly so that I can fit a page onto an 11×17 scanner bed.
Some pages are easy, some are a struggle (as I recall, the middle panel on the above page was definitely a struggle). I have a bazillion eraser marks, too! It’s for that reason I’m training myself to pencil lightly… and draw on nice, thick bristol paper.
