Super late update is super late, but I had a hell of a day trying to draw yesterday. I simply could not get myself satisfied with how I wanted to lay out this page, literally spending the entire day with no acceptable progress. I was unsatisfied with the general script for the next few pages, scrapped them, redid them like a million times and still could not get satisfied with them. After finally getting through that issue, I got to repeat this process with the layout of the page before I could sketch it.

I simply had a massive artist’s+writer’s block for the entire day, but the block finally cracked after a stupid long setback. This was all quite upsetting because this was a rather simple page. At least this sketch is done and I can get myself on a more standard pace now that it’s time for lines/colors.

The first three panels were simple enough that I went ahead and lined them directly instead of doing the clean sketch, so that will definitely help save time in the next step.

This sketch took me forever. It’s always a pain when there’s a lot of dialogue, and whenever there’s a lot of character interaction I try real hard to get a lot of angles so that the page isn’t too flat. This usually results in a lot of redrawing and repositioning of panels, which can be quite time consuming as attempts build up. Add on my poor sleep schedule and we get a late update. At least the sketch is done and that issue’s out of the way for now.
