Last week’s plans:
Monday Dog tag layouts. DT pencils 1-3. Colours TO pg5
Tuesday DT pencils 4-7
Wednesday DT pencils 8-10
Thursday DT pencils 11-14
Friday DT pencils 15-18
Saturday TO Pencils 10-11 (double page spread) Inks 10-11
Sunday Catch up on anything I missed.
So: 20 pages of pencils (hahah probably not)
So what actually happened, well, I wrote off about two days due to er… new computer. Bought myself the Macbook Neo, so I could spend some time focusing on writing. No regrets (well, one, I wrestle with the fact I bought the £599 model and didn’t spend the extra £100 to get the £699 – which has a fingerprint sensor and double the storage – every day I think “well, it’s only a hundred quid” – but no, sod it, I bought the cheapest laptop because I wasn’t even sure I could properly justify it.
In the end, I pencilled 12 pages – DT pages 1-12. Some days I got three done, some days I got none done. I think I could have got close to 20 if I’d been more disciplined.
This week:
Monday – DT Pencils 13-14. TO Colours Page 6
Tuesday – DT pencils 15-16 (2 pages, got lunch meeting)
Wednesday DT pencils 17-19
Thursday DT pencils 20-22
Friday Catch up and scan on the DT Pencils
Saturday TO Pencils 10-11 (double page spread) Inks 10-11 (brought over from last week)
Sunday Catch up on anything I missed.
That plan calls for 14 pages of pencils, one page of colour and 2 pages of inks. Doable. More doable than last week.
Here’s how I justify three pages of pencils a day:
10-12 Pencil most of a page.
12:30-2 Finish it.
2-5 Pencil second page.
7-11 pencil third.
These are lose pencils, sometimes with notional backgrounds. But I’ll work those out later.
I will also be spending this week refining the second Terran Omega story. I’ve written it, I just need to print out and spend a day or so just going over it with a red pen.
Saw some sunshine last week, and I’m excited for summer to start and I get outside and sit in the garden and do some work. I’ve detached myself from digital drawing enough that actually I can bring a drawing table down to the garden and do pencilling (and maybe inking)
