Too Much Stuff In One Panel
Panel 4
Close up as Aunt March lets go of the needle, the wood begins to glow, and the needle is drawn into the door.
Seriously, what the hell was I thinking putting this much stuff in a single panel???? I ended up reformatting the entire page. :P
Little Women Status: Dec 6 – Dec 12
Progress!
Got the first 15 pages inked and turned in to my editor! :D
I mocked up my Little Women set in Sketchup! So far I’ve just set up the kitchen and the living room. Sketchup’s been a great help – I can export images at any angle I want, then load those images into MangaStudio and use them as a quick reference to help set up perspective lines and such. It’s been a great help when it comes to keeping things where they’re supposed to be and with elements I tend to have a difficult time drawing, like windows and doors.
Prodigy Cover Released!
Just got my first look at it today – Kaari’s work is lovely, as always!
Sweaters
Sometimes I think this graphic novel is mainly an excuse to draw sweaters. Lots and lots of sweaters. Because dear God I love sweaters, and drawing sweaters, and looking at reference photos of sweaters.
SWEATERS.
All four girls. Left to right, Meg, Amy, Beth, and Jo.
Working on layouts.
In the Bag!
First draft of the script for Prodigy, the sequel to the Legend Graphic Novel, is done! Emailing it off to my editor right now!
