Drawing comics, or trying to...

1 min read

Its April 4, 2023 and I'm still wrangling with page 164 of Rueday. It is giving me a lot of trouble! I have the most trouble with fitting one entire "nugget" of the story onto one page. I really should have made the page format of my Graphic novel larger when I started. Too late now!

I also can't draw my own characters.That is kinda weird isn't it?

Spammy stuff in Chat

1 min read

Hi !

Just a note here to apologize for not responding to the "requests" section on the "new notes" chat feature. There is too much weird spammy stuff on there! I do read the notes that are under "General".

I work totally backwards

1 min read

Do you have an atypical way that you go about creating comic pages?

REAL comic artists have the dialogue written out exactly, then form the art around it so it fits!! I work totally backwards. It's so stupid! when I do a comic page I do all the art first, then scramble to figure out the words I am going to use from maybe paragraphs of dialogue. Visuals first, then get the words to fit? This is a REALLY dumb, weird, bassackward way to work, but I can't seem to break the habit!

I keep saying to myself .. OK THIS time I will have everything written out and ... and... oh, I don't feel like writing it out now. Later. Here's a cool picture.

Anyway, so what I'm saying is I'm still working on words for page 63, even though the art is done.

My brain must be plugged in backwards

I find I am much happier with a troublesome page if I let it "soak" for a while.

Working on page 52

Mar 25, 2019

Argh! I hate missing my self imposed deadline for posting a page, but page 52 is being impossible. The biggest problem I have is getting the story to fit the page format, I ALWAYS end up running out of room to complete the idea...too much art to cram in... so I need to mull over this page and maybe figure out how to split it into two pages? or edit drastically? Anyway ...I need to let it be, and ruminate on it for a while. I haven't been very good about blocking out pages ahead of time for Rueday.
