Page 53 sketches

This is an early sketch of the page 53, here you can see how different (or similar) it was to the final version at the bottom.
The first panel at the top right, are Kokoro's feet, which remained almost intact, but the center panel suffered a lot of changes.
I wanted a low angle at first, but then I think that showing the darkness of the street ahead will be more interesting, so I changed the perspective and went from a low to a high angle but Kokoro's drawing wasn't centered and look somewhat odd. So, I went back to re-draw it to the final version (the bottom one) and I think it looks so much better than the previous ones.
You may notice all the mees I make when I draw a draft, and some vanishing points and perspective lines to make the background.
On the funny/strange side, you could see that I put some text or notes indicating to myself important things directly on the page instead of using "post-it" notes because they often dissappear in the worst moment XD, and this notes are in Spanish (my native language) and also the last image is in Spanish. You can watch the final (and English version) right here.

Nice to see you here!
