Weekly Diary 2/Jan/2023 – 8/Jan/2023

Like a fool I posted saying I’d do a week ending on the friday, then I remembered my diary runs Monday to Sunday. So Sunday is better.

Here’s last week’s diary. Planned to Pencil all of BadMagic, but deadline for the Leopard leapt on top of me and I had to turn my attention to that.

This is a diary of my own devising, my pro comic artist diary, I can keep track of pomodoros I’ve done (you can see here, I’ve done none) and – optimistically – four pages at a time (plus room for notes).

Boxes with a single stroke are where I’ve pencilled a page ((oh Tuesday, the third, you golden child, how I thought everything was gonna work out fine because of you). You can see Wednesday I had to start pencilling/inking stuff. The numbers above the squares were my original plans for what I’d planned to do.

Still, this tells you: six pages pencilled, five pages pencilled and inked – that’s not bad (given I had an ibs attack last night and genuinely didn’t think I’d get anything done – saturday morning I thought I’d get three pages over the weekend, but, in the end, all things considered I got two… still not awful.)

Next week’s plan? finished leopard (one page left to pencil/ink – it’s a cramped one though) that’ll happen monday, then I have GOT to get a book cover done, might also pencil that for monday. Tuesday – Wed finish pencilling Bad Magic (three pages left to go) then Wed-Sun ink as much of the bloody thing as I can get done, I hope for two pages of inks per day. That’d be a good week. Will let you know how it goes!
