Late sketch again but I was both quite busy with distractions yesterday and then I struggled with how I wanted to do this page. There were a few options for Gwen to handle this and I had a difficult time choosing which one when doing the detailed script of the page. The different scenes for this part are quite similar at the start and I feel it important I maintain some variety between them so it has been leaving me extra hard on myself about the flow/layout of each page.

Sorry for the delay but I should be back on track. I planned to have this done last night but I had to be asleep extra early since I had to be awake extra early this morning for some final appointments. There may be one or two more things to handle this week, but those should only set me back a matter of hours as opposed to days like last week. I should still have everything finished by Friday, but I can’t guarantee it will all be done early in the day.

This week has definitely not been going great for me in terms of drawing. The stress of a lot of things that happened lately have been hitting me, and it’s been difficult to motivate myself to work on complex things like my weekly comic pages. I’m definitely still putting the work in, but it’s been exceptionally slow this week. I still have time to line my BF page so after that I’ll still only be a single step behind this week and should still be able to have everything colored by end of Friday.

I could have wrapped this scene up in this page, but there’s still one thing I would have been skipping that I’ve decided against skipping. This means this scene will be stretched a few more pages before moving to their next location.

Sorry for the longer than usual delay. I could go on a rant about things going on lately but I’ll save everyone some time and just say that I’ll still try and have everything done by Friday at the expected time. Luckily this page ended up being a simpler one in terms of how long the lines will take as it’s just a single intermission page to lead into the next page.

Yet again the sketch took forever to figure out. I was unsure how I wanted to do many things, and I’m still a bit uncertain of some of the expressions on Gwen. There’s several things I’d like to mess with, but I’ve spent way too long on this so I’ll have to save trying things out for the line phase.

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.
