I’m still here!
Okay, I’ve not posted in an age but I’m still here and I’ve been busy! Honest!
Issue #19 and #20 are now drawn and lettered and the shading worked out. I then switched over to Fenton Hud and worked on issue #4 and having got #13 pages in (13? Unlucky for some?) I realised I needed to take a step back as I work out the next few pages (I know where it’s going but really need to lay it out) so I’m back to doing the colouring on LatB.
Back when I started on issue #1 of the book I had some sketches of the main characters (some of which you can see in Volume #1 of the trade!) but when it came to colouring I had a sheet with each characters name and then the different colours beneath it.
Which… was fine but not 100% great as I still had to look at old panels to work out which colour block went where. Oh! Let me show you what some of it looked like!
So yeah, a whole page of these blocks? Not great. Also, over time I made slight changes to the characters looks (slight…. okay, in some cases A LOT) but with that as well I’d be looking back at old panels and seeing characters look different in some cases and this just confused me (and maybe even incorrectly draw new panels)!
I made the decision to go and sketch out each character fresh (their sized a bit dodgy but go with it!) and then actually point out the which colour goes where…
There’s going to be more pages as I bring in other characters and locations but this should really help me with getting the pages coloured quickly (and hopefully I’ll remember to post more of these panels as I go along!)
Soooo…… more soon! Bear hugs!
