YOU GET WHAT YOU GET - OOPS

Print files for my next comic were completed yesterday, with contents page, and guest artist bios all checked and in place. 

Despite my eagerness to send it off and get the order in motion, I decided to leave it for a double check today. 

Just gave it a look over, and I had completely neglected to include one of the guest artist stories. Oof!

 That was close...

YOU GET WHAT YOU GET - PRODUCTION BEGINS

I started production on my next comic today. The process always involves putting together a mock up book to ascertain where the different pages land in the comic.

SIX COLOUR PAGES

 Six pages coloured digitally over the past couple of weeks.

WATERCOLOURS

TIDYING UP

Comic work this week has been performing a series of jobs in photoshop, under the umbrella term, "tidying up".

Inked pages are scanned, then mistakes are corrected. Dodgy lines, incorrect lettering, etc. Also, black areas are filled and typed lettering added where needed.

The pages are now ready for colouring next week, either digitally or with inks.

FRUSTRATION day 5

A frustrating day. 

I have a few related ideas for the cover of my next comic, "You Get What You Get".

I did some jotting down of notes, researching, and scribbling down of visuals.

None of it quite gelled though. I'll go back to it next week with fresh eyes and mind.

In the meantime, I have several inked pages to scan, tidy up, and colour.
