I guess as time goes on and I’m doing the same thing, there’s less to report. I finished part 1 of the sixth strip and I’ve got part 2 sketched out. I’m moving a little slower, but I know the end’s in sight. In this strip I’m introducing another main (male) character, so that’s exciting (for me).
I think I’m able to draw the previous two main characters without worrying about reference drawings, and while working on one of the ancillary characters I found myself going in a different direction than what I had originally designed. That’s good, I think? The more natural I can make this process, the quicker it will go. As it is, 3 panels a night is kind of sad, I have to admit. I should be doing a whole strip a night, optimally.
I couldn’t rely on BBC America anymore for my Kitchen Nightmares fix, I went to the (Netflix) source. I also just finished Mars Attacks!, which is always good. I ordered some accessories for the inking process, which should get here by the weekend, so I can jump right in once I’m ready (which should be soon).
