Working out the week

So last week looked like this:

Monday – 2 pages of inks / one page of colours (F part 2 pages 5&6, colours T 02.04)
Tuesday – Inks 3 pages (F 7,8,9)
Wednesday – Inks 2 pages (F10, T 02.05)
Thursday – Layout day. D ep 5, and C ep 1
Friday – Pencils D 1-3
Saturday – Inks T 02.06, 02.07
Sunday – catch up on anything I’ve missed.

How’d I do? Well, first I’ve already forgotten what all the bloody code letters were so that’s a rough start. Secondly I think I did everything, but I’ll be damned if I can remember what “D” was and I did none of that… so uhm… NO WAIT! I do remember what D was, and I’m doing that today (dogtag, it’s dog tag). Layouts for episode 5 (episodes 1-4 are all finished as are all the covers).

So, last week I didn’t get three pages of pencils done. Actually that’s not terrible. And I did get 9 pages of inks done and 1 page of colours. So, this week… and the work didn’t quite happen the way I thought it might (all plans go to pot when they meet the real world)

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)

I think I’m too optimistic in how much pencilling I can do, Friday meeting a pal for lunch, and Saturday is always chaos. But we’ll see.

Blogging will resume as an every other day just as purely catch up.

BTW Here’s how I find images to go with my blog posts, I search in my vast photo album for a word and what turns up is what I use. I sued the word “Chaos” which turned up this handsome Dave Gibbon’s Mekon picture that I think I must have taken of an old 2000ad annual (you can practically smell the paper of the photo)

This also turned up this – me answering a question about using frames in clip studio, this is still useful information…
