I wasn't able to do an extra Friday update this week, and I more or less missed out on today's as well… sorry! ._.; I'm off canoeing or portaging in the Gatineau as you read this. It's the final trip for my Outdoor Education class, and I can't miss it because we have to go on 3 trips to pass and I skipped both the winter ones (I despise the cold). It's a five day trip, meaning I'm not around all weekend. (I'm gonna die… Five days of canoeing and portaging and bugs and wetness and being smelly T.T) I managed to get the pencil sketch for today's update done, so you can at least have something.
Well, with this you can see some of my comicking process. I ink panel lines first so that they won't be affected by any erasing I do while sketching. As you can see, I pencil comic pages pretty messily. Since I ink panel lines of many pages at a time, I write the page number and name above beforehand so I know what page the panels are for. The drawn date in the bottom left is added when I finish inking. Since I actually write the story in prose, I take my dialogue almost exactly from that. I scribble the beginnings of sentences and such in my thumbnails so I know what goes where, but the text mostly happens digitally.
I might fix some stuff up when I get back, because I prefer Xeari's expression in my thumbnail to this one. The other was more startled and comical. I like panel four, though. Here's hoping I don't screw up the inking. ^^
